Should we date(see below)?
830548
My husband and I are atheists. He told me about his position before we married and I accepted it. I was an atheist in every way but by name, and just decided that I am what I am; I've been happy with the decision ever since.\n\nThat said, the argument they give about dating outside of their faith is almost the same one used by those who oppose gay marriage. They somehow believe that gay marriage is a threat to heterosexual marriage. My husband and I have discussed this before; our feeling is, if our marriage is somehow threatened by Bob and Dave's marriage, then we have other problems. Our marriage is our marriage; the only threat to our marriage would be a lack of love, respect or communication with the other. That's our problem, not something Bob and Dave created.\n\nIf you are strong in your beliefs, whatever they are, you rise to the challenge to defend them. Your faith (whether in God or in yourself) should not be shaken by association with those who believe differently than you. If anything, it should bolster your confidence to go out into the world. \n\nYour friend believes that all she does is based on faith at its very foundation. Frankly, she may be feeling very conflicted because you are a decent, trusting, and honorable person on your own - without having the guilt of religion as a motivator to be these things. In her mind, and that of her friends, you can't have those qualities without faith. Your relationship with her proves that you can; it's a threat to what she believes, and on some level she may be questioning her faith. You are not asking her to give up her faith. You are treating her with kindness, respect and are offering the prospect of being in a loving relationship. You have not shunned her friends because they are Christians, you embrace them as cool people who just happen to believe differently. \n\nI don't know what to tell you other than you seize opportunities when they're presented to you. I hope she at least considers how wonderful dating could be for the both of you. The only way you're going to know is to jump in and see what happens. If it goes well, you will approach any hurdles your differences present from a standpoint of love and respect. If it doesn't work, you will have given it an effort, and time will heal whatever heartbreak occurs.\n\nYou can't know how it's going to work without giving it a chance.

if you are happy, then it doesnt matter how you met. \nHeck, I met my husband while I was dating one of his friends. We just clicked. Things happen for a reason. Good luck.

i'm 29 and i can so relate to you.  i mean dating itself is so confusing and once you are dating someone it is confusing to know how often you should date them, before it becomes exclusive.  i am going to keep coming back to your question to see the answers.  sorry i couldn't be more help.

Start dating when you are comfortable, whether it be next month, or next year.  I wouldn't introduce your dates to your child though...not until you are fairly serious with someone.  Get a babysitter when you date.

Doggdoc has a point there...but you could phrase it something like, "you know we've been dating for about a year now...I don't date other's anymore, I'm finding I want to date you exscusively...how do you feel about that kind of arrangement?..."...well maybe you can make it sound a little more romantic than that...but you get the idea...good luck!

Yes.  I believe that a trend that is emerging in the dating world is to take a cohabitating, married relationship on a test run before actually tying the knot.  Living together is an effective way to see if you are compatible after a long time of dating and not cohabitating.  However, don't be suckered in to living with someone who won't marry you, who is basically playing you on an "extended test run".  They can't have it both ways.

I feel you should know the person very well, if you two have been living together for a while. But in the same token you should ask how well does your know you? It must be a reason why this question is asked, for there might be some unresolved issues that may be at hand.  Just something to think about.......Feel me!

look...dating sometimes is not the answer...\ni don't know if you should date him or not....but first you have to be sure that he wants to date you....if he doesn't want to date you then don't....coz like this you will make your self a whore running after him....\nand don't feel that you are a whore if you don't date him...\njust forget it....and live life the way it was

My reply would be yes. By the way what's wrong in it, as far as you got a dating mentality, age, caste or creed doesn't matter.. meet love each other and make love.

I would go with all of them.  Don't be exclusive until somone you really likes asks you to be.  It is far better to date many people.  You never know who Mr. Right will be or how you are supposed tomeet him.  If someone likes you, they will like you in public.  Just becasue somone sits by you doesn't mean they like you in a girlfriend kind of way.  Oh, and just hugging a guy doesn't mean anything either.

As long as you don't act like an old fuddy duddy and have similar interests, why not.  I've been known to date older men and we got along fine.  As long as both of you know what is expected of each other then it should work out.

If you are legal age (you didn't mention your age) then dating him is no big deal if you are both interested in one another.  If there is a huge age difference between you both you might keep in mind that your relationship with him might not be long term, as you might not have much in common.  However, as long as you are of legal age then go for it - who's to stop you.
