I have been seeing a great guy for a bit now. He's kind, sincere, and I am very attracted to him. I am in my mid-twenties, and am a widowed single mom. I'm not in a place where i want to date for the fun of it-- I'm looking for a relationship that has the potential to be long term. I think this guy is great-- we have physical chemistry, we communicate well, and he adores my 5 yr old son, (although I do not allow them to spend much time together, and my son is not aware that it's a dating realtionship) His family loves me too. BUT, he's Catholic, and has even attended a Catholic university.... I'm pretty liberal myself, and I have no fixed religion. I couldn't see myself practicing his religion, but I'm not offended by it. I am not in support of the war efforts-- although I'm not strongly against it...He actually would like to apply to be an officer....
Are we too different? Other than religion and politics, we share the same views on family, committment, humor and all else.....

it can only work if you are both tolerant, kind and willing to let the other person hold their beliefs without thinking there is something wrong with those beliefs.
sometimes you can only go through the experience to know if you are all those things.
good luck!

Sounds to me like you are a great match as long as you both agree to respect each others views and reach a workable solution for dealing with and accepting each others differences. The key to that is open honest nonthreatening communication. Now would some one tell my fiance that?
