Why are relationships so hard or I am soooo confused

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

Ok through a friend I met this really cool woman, we get along great, I like her I think she likes me,we are comfortable around each other all is good but she doesn’t want to date people not of her faith or so she says.

She believes in J.C. and I don’t. I’m not one of the most observant Jews here but if push came to shove I would never convert to another religion and I would not ask her to convert to mine, because you can’t make people give up what they beleive in. I heard from said friend that when said friend told her I liked her (after she said she only wants to date people of her own religion) she smiled. I don’t know what that means, juist like I don’t know what it means when she asks if I want to stay over in her dorm room when I go up to visit her next weekend, or when she wants to know if I will go to a christian concert with her and If I do she will find a way to make it up to me. I like being with her and she likes being with me, so shouldn’t that be enough?

Maybe yes, maybe no.

You can’t make other peoples’ decisions for them. Nor should you allow them to make your decisions for you.

While the lure of sex (or merely opposite-sex companionship) is strong, using that to make decisions is immature and indicative of manipulation.

Better to be lonely and frustrated than used, IMHO.

And I hope you do get things straightened out, if it matters to you.

I agree with Dave on this. She probably really likes you – but it sounds like she’s also out to convert you. I’d tell her “Hey, I like you, and I respect your feelings about religion – so, since I’m not gonna change my religion, or ask you to change yours, we can’t date.”

Then move on. Really, Manny, just move on.
