Non-believers do u prefer to date other non-believers?

Question

I understand love has no boundaries..but i said PREFER..

Answer 1

I am an atheist. I have no problems dating a person of faith. I have a lot of respect for the faith and beliefs of others. I feel that if you connect well with a person, beliefs should not be an issue. Love is a human emotion and if I should fall in love with a person of faith, I am willing to accept that they have different ideas than me.
If you both have respect for one another's beliefs and are willing to discuss any differences in opinions maturely, a well balanced relationship will thrive.

Answer 2

Committed Christian here..........I know my opinion was not asked for, but I may have something constructive to offer. I think it would be better for non-believers to date other non-believers. There is really a small number of believers, non-believers too, and then everybody else who hasn't taken the time to develop a position on so important of a topic.

The basic life motivations of believers and non-believers is very different to the point that there could not possibly be consensus on many of the most important life decisions.

If anyone is looking for a lasting relationship, both sides of the fence should stay well clear of the wishy-washy luke warm types. They just drift along, which is their right, but I just don't think you can count on them to take a stand on or commit to anything, including your relationship.

Answer 3

It doesn't matter to me; as long as they believe, and don't constantly talk about it in every situation. I do the same by not saying that it's "all lies!!!GRRRR!!!" or something.

I just think we'd be okay if some people would understand that Saying nothing, in some cases, is better than having an opinion at all.

Answer 4

I would rather date someone who is *intelligent* and respectful of other Paths, and has NO interest in converting me to whatever religion. Religion isn't an issue....only if the OTHER person makes it so.

As a preference, yes, I would rather date other non-theists, but I am not closed to the possibillity of dating other theists if we like each other enough. :-)

Answer 5

Ultimately it does not matter to me. If I like the chic I like the chic. But of course there has to be understanding. Like for example she would have to accept the fact that I hate religion in government and I will accept that she is going to wake me up way too early on Sundays.

Answer 6

If I were dating, yes, but I would be willing to shack up with anyone hot really. For a more serious relationship, I'd prefer someone who does not oppose me on principles she considers important.

Answer 7

Heck no. I prefer dating believers. Especially Christian women.

Christian women are so starved for real love and affection, they nearly eat a (non believer) guy alive once you are alone. They shed any pretense of "Jesus loves me" or any of that other crap.

The more holy roller, the better.

Answer 8

I never asked what religion people are as a qualification for whether or not I would date them. I have dated people with various religious backgrounds and have been fine with it.

Blessed Be

Answer 9

Well, I would prefer to date intelligent people, but then as I see it it's pretty much the same thing.

Answer 10

I tend to think of myself as agnostic. If I were to date someone that had complete faith in a higher being, then I would hope that the guy doesnt try to force his beliefs on me. I would expect him to understand and accept my beliefs or nonbeliefs just as I would accept his.
