2 Corinthians 6:14 is beating me over the head right now. Why is it that when I finally find a guy that thinks I'm worth more than a bucket o'slugs, he has to be a non-Christian? It seemed too good to be true, I mean, perfect gentleman, goes out of his way to walk me home even, but God says nuh-uh. I know what I need to do, and will do, I just don' ( Read more... )

Yeah, if you feel like it isn't right and you're being lead another way, just stay friends. It can get messy.

I dated a guy that was an atheist for a few months. I went into it not expecting it to last long, and even so... it just didn't feel right. It was like there was an invisible brick wall, and anytime anything remotely religious came up I would feel totally awkward. He probably did too. It's just too big a part of life to just shrug off, regardless. I ended the relationship. 8-\

What does 2 Corinthians 6:14 say?

isn't that being a little close minded though, to not even give him a chance cuz he's a non-christian? (and what do you mean by non-christian, is he jewish or buddhist or athiest?) if you can't go out with somebody who's a different religion, does that later mean you can't have friends who are a different religion? i think you should give him the chance, especially cuz he sounds like a nice guy, but that's just my athiest opinion, so it may not matter

its not that it makes him a bad person or that I can't be friends with him. All I'm saying is that for someone to be that big a part of my life and be opposed to the most important thing in my life, it wouldn't last long and I will not marry someone who is not a Christian. It wouldn't be fair to him or me. I don't mean to say that he's below me. not that at all. I just mean that my faith is such a huge part of who I am and I need someone who I can share that with. I don't casually date, I date to find a husband, and if there is no potential for that, then I don't want to waste his or my time. I don't wish to offend anyone, I just have my beliefs and opinions. hope that might clear up what i mean anyways.

Just something to put out there, but wouldn't casually dating a variety of people help you learn more about what you do and don't want? Fine-tune your preferences if you will. I'm currently engaged and I would never, ever have reached this point if I hadn't put myself out there, made lots of mistakes, gotten hurt...the likes. Religion is extremely important when it's a central part of who you are, but there are other things that are important in relationships...and you can only find out what they are for you by having them.
