I have been a very devoted Christian my whole life. When it comes to dating, I have noticed the christian guys around me have worse beliefs than non-christians. And I have been dating a non-christian (devoted Buddhist) guy for almost 2 years now. He is the PERFECT guy-smart, funny, caring, romantic, etc. We are deeply in love, but I am torn whether or not to continue this relationship because I feel like other than everything being perfect, my relationship with God has become very distant. What should I do? Is it ok to continue dating? He has even spoken of marriage to me, but has told me he will NEVER convert to Christianism. He knows everything about it but just wants to live as a good person.

Does anyone have experience with this sort of dating? If so, did your relationship work out? We’re both not as strict in our religion, and he says it won’t be a problem, his mom knows, but is there anything I need to know or be aware of within his family or if I become serious with him?

I am going to the movies with my boyfriend and his friend, and his girlfriend.

His friend’s gf is so pretty/perfect

How can I try to act calm, and be myself with my boyfriend and them??

They are ALL seniors..and im a sophomore..

[Boyfriend and I talked online for 3 years, then met and started dating]

Its only a 2 and a half age difference so don’t be telling me anything like “don’t be dating him”

Any advice…?

I was playing cards in the cafe at my college, and I do know of a Christian club in the school, and 4 girls in there were a part of it. They came out of the elevator, walked up to this guy who was sitting alone, and started yelling at him about religion. They were interrupting everybody’s conversations! (Y’know, cafe’s tend to be quiet) They were like, “Jesus LOVES you, my friend. He DIED for you. You need to OPEN YOUR MIND up to him, and he will LOVE you FOREVER!!!” They went on like this for 30 minutes, asking him questions, yelling at him. And my 2 friends (I’m not religious) who are hardcore Pentecostals were like, “…wha?” and looking like they were crazy.

What were these group of girls trying to do to this guy? He just looked at them like they were crazy. Then they all put their hands on his head and started to pray very loudly for his lost soul, said thank you, and left like nothing happened… The guy looked at us like he was yelling for help with his eyes, lol, but we didn’t know what to do!

What kind of Christians go after people like that? What in the world were they doing to him?
I am not exaggerating, otherwise I wouldn’t be asking this right now. Don’t be so quick to defend yourself, and assume that I’m offended by religion. I believe in God. I was raised in a religious family. I know God will love me for who I am, not what I do. Live and let live, man.

OK, I’m going to night school for my MS and this guy has been flirting with me and asking me out for coffee for like 3 times. I’ve been saying no, but he is kinda cute and my dating life has been slow. I know he is probably one of those nutty Christians because he’s been carrying the book, “The Shack” for about 2 weeks and he wears a crucifix. (That book shouldn’t take longer than 20 minutes for anyone to read because it’s written at a fifth grade level).

My roommate says that he could be dangerous and would probably just prattle on about Christianity.

What to do? Going out on a date with another creepy guy would be bad for my psyche.

To start off, im 18. Anyway, back when i was younger (in 7th grade), i saw this girl, and she was beautiful (i can literally remember the first day i saw her). I was so terribly shy that for 7th, and 8th grade, i may have said but a few words to her. Then high school came along and my crush continued, and still i did nothing. For 4 years i liked her *my junior year i tried to move on, and i was upset..=( * I also realized she had a bf and senior year was their 3rd year of dating. Then this summer, i was working at my school and there she is!! I dont know how it all happened, but suddenly we just started taking. Alot. We talk about everyday at work, and for about an hour – 4 hours online. I foundout she is still going out with her bf. I then realized that the closer i got to her, the more hurt id be. Shes so happy with her bf, if i hung around, id just get hurt realizing what i missed out on… THen the other day im talking to her and she tells me her and her bf are breaking up b4 they go to college. I felt so bad because they’re really great for each other, but at the same time, im like… for 4 years i sat and watched and did nothing, this is like my chance. So when i found this out, I suddenly became even more interested in her. I didnt change the way i was with her (havent been flirting more, none of that stuff cause they’re still a couple and i respect that, i dont want to interfere. But recently shes been telling me things like how he was pretty much her life and her friends have been telling her they could work things out because they’re only an hour apart from eachother. I dont know what i should do… I mean, i know i have to wait till she goes to college (on sunday), but what if she tries to patch things up with her bf after they break up? I want to tell her how i feel (how ive liked her for so long, shes on my mind everyday, I dont want to give up an opportunity for her again, i dont think i can take it… I thought i had gotten over her last year, but i guess i just supressed my liking for her.

SOrry this is so long, but shes just an amazing girl, shes so nice and kind, her personality is great, we have lots in common, and some not so common things, but thats good, cause opposites atttact, two common people would be boring. She doesnt know i like her this much, or for this long. I know if it doesnt work, time will heal, and the pain will lift, but its gonna be so rough, i really hope things can work oout, for all of us, even if it means i have to give her up so she can be with her bf right now…I know there may be plenty of fish in the sea, but still… even with having a pretty good life, i would love for her to add to it.

Thanks HaiLo, your answer has helped alot. Yeah i wasnt planning on rushing into this at all, i just want to like, prepare myself for all this, ya know. This is the first time ive ever been in a situation like this, im just conerned is all. This girl is really something special, shes like one of the reasons why i go to work. And each day i make sure to say hi to her.
But yeah, there may be other out there, maybe even better, i guess ill just have to wait and see… =\

I started dating this girl about 2 weeks b4 going for holiday. {She show me all the signals that she wants me to talk to her but i didn’t until after about 3 months}. We are apart coz of this holiday, so i call her from time to time and even sent her some caring text messages which she never replied, the only time she called me was when i was celebrating something important in my religion {am a muslim, shes christain} and when ever i send her a gift.when ever i call her she seems to like it by how am i and my family. I think shes a little shy and has never being into a romantic relationship, coz of d way she speak. should i just sent her this text ” Thank you”. People, please help me on what step to take coz am confused i have started thinking she doesn’t like me anymore.

Im 30 in a couple of months and came out of a broken engagement just over a year ago. He really broke my heart and I had totally loved him and getting over being alone when we had planned our future has been so hard. It’s been made worse by the fact that my Gran died too and she brought me up with me mum. Now the only family I have is my Mum and getting married and having my own family was something that I had felt blessed with.

Anyway, my Mum’s friends at church have commented to her how beautiful I am and what a lovely person I am. It’s not that I dont believe them but I just dont really have much confidence in myself. Guys dont ask me out. The guy I was with was my first serious boyfriend. Why do guys not approach me and ask me out? There is one guy that I do youth group with and he’s lovely. I play hard to get and although we joke around Id love to go out wtih him. He is kind and a really nice Christian guy. How do I get him to ask me without seeming desperate?

I find internet dating sites hard as I am a virgin and a Christian. I dont want to have sex until im in a serious relationship. I dont think many guys would wait.

How can I boost my confidence and feel good about myself rather than running away from guys I like. How do I forget the nasty man who hurt me? How can I know I will meet someone lovely Am I getting too old for a family?

Thankyou xxx

I remember when I was 5-7 I would play this pornographic game on this website and even though I didn’t understand most of it, I would love taking off her clothes and in the most comfortable way I can put this… It made me have that “pee” feeling, but guys never did. When I was around 6ish, me and my bestfriend starting doing lesbian things and when my parents got divorced and I was at my cousins house a lot, she did the same stuff to me (they never forced me). After that nothing really else happened besides me being obsessed watching girls gone wild infomercials. In 2009, started noticing what was going on. I started getting attracted to girls more and yeah. At around December is started getting worse and finally at around April of 2010, I admitted I was bi sexual. It turned into an on off thing until I had a major crush on this girl. Blah blah nothing happened. Then the summer I decided I was a lesbian but changed my mind o.o then for the longest time I told myself I was straight until I fell for this girl (that i am currently dating). And yeah, l could my past as a child made me like girls?Because I can’t fight it really no matter how hard I try.

Also, I am a Christian, I come from a very strong Christian family who do not support gays and I don’t think it’s right even though I like women. I’m 14 and a freshman.
