Ok, so there is this girl...I have known her for a really long time, but over the past couple years, I have come to the realization, that she might be more than just an incredibly great friend. I might be in love with her. Noone else makes me feel as happy and as comfortable and at ease as she does. She is basically everything I want.There is, however, a slight problem. She comes from a very Fundalmentalist Chirstian Family. Being a Jew, not all of their values coincide with mine. I would really like to possibly enter into a relationship with her, but I dont know if our religions would clash.Basically, Im wondering if anyone has had experience, or knows of someone who has experienced something like this. Is there any advice anyone could give me?PS. Im not just worried simply being different religions would be an issue. Her family members are jsut very strong believers as well as she. And I would not be willing to give up my faith also.PPS. I dont even know if I should bother as in less than 2 years, we will be parting ways anyways for college haha...any advice anyone???

Long Been Wondering

I think it could be a pretty good thing. I don't know how religious you are, but if she is, the whole sex thing is off the table, which makes things a lot less complicated. If you were planning to marry and have children, there might be some difficulties, but that apparently is not an issue.I wouldn't worry about the 2-year thing. If you last that long, than you should be together.I don't see the downside in giving it a shot.

What Steve said....just give it a shot.If you like her and she likes you, screw what they think. If your not of legal age (which I'm guessing your not) the worst they could do is forbid her from seeing you, and we all know how well that, generally, works. As for going separate ways in two years, cross that bridge when you come to it. All things come to an end, for one reason or another, but that doesn't mean you can't enjoy them while they're here. You don't want to miss out what may be the best two years of your life just because you have the for-knowledge that it'll end. Besides, you may be wrong about it ending. Nothing ventured, nothing gained

I certainly wouldnt let religion get in the way. I'm Catholic and was engaged to a Northern Protestant at one time, which is considered fairly taboo by some people where I live (the marraige never happened, I legged it, but that is irrelevant) My point is, there are enough legitimate necessary hurdles to deal with in any relationship, best not to allow religion become one of them.

thus showing that orgiansed relgion is flawed and evil but back to the op , i would say go for it

I don't practice the religion in which I was raised, but I seriously hope you're kidding with that comment.To the OP: don't let any kind of segregation put you off...it's up to the two of you; imposed values from outside should not matter where love is concerned.

if you mean that orgiansed relgion is flawed and evil than im not joking , but i dont want to flood this post with an argumnet about relgion, its one of those arguments that never ends

I'm with you on flawed, but evil? That's a bit strong. At any rate, I'm in agreement with proper place, proper time!
