Religion and Dating
Religion has not played a huge part in my life but non the less it is still a PART of my life. I went to Sunday school, even taught it for a while and my mother plays the organ at church every Sunday. It provides a sense of community and people who will rally around you if something happens. Although I go less often then I used to I still relate with being Methodist.
Why am I writing all this? I feel like I need to express that I do not wish to be put in a situation where I have to choose my religion, how I've been raised and the holidays that are important to me or the person I am in a relationship with. I've seen people who care about each other a lot reach an impasse and break up because their religious backgrounds are too different.
I joined a dating website to try to find people who are serious about dating or a relationship. Really think about how serious you are about your religion or what your family would say if you were converting before messaging me.

Great post. Sometimes a couple can work through religious conflicts, but it certainly can make things more difficult. I think if one or both people aren't religious at all, that's one thing; but if either side is at all religious, you start off with an expectation that the other will change for you - and that is not a healthy way to start.
