It depends. Almost 40 years ago, yours truly (an atheist), started going out with a Jewish girl. Result? We've been married for 38 years, the kids grew up and are doing fine, thank you very much, and once the pets die, we will be perfectly happy. (Don't tell her about the pet comment.)
I think we did OK.

Only time can reveal whether the two of you are "right" for each other, but there's no reason why two people from different faiths or philosophies cannot fall in love, marry, and live a long, happy life together. LOTS of other mixed couples have made it work. LOTS of almost every conceivable combination. Your life together won't be without its challenges, but none is. Just be sure you're both prepared to discuss matters as adults and willing to come to a reasonable compromise on some questions.
This idea that one shouldn't be "unevenly yoked with unbelievers" is a gutless, simple-minded superstition.

there is no longer in all probability adequate suggestions to declare plenty right here - Jewish households could be tremendously plenty atheist or very strictly observant and each thing in between. If he's precisely observant, i'd be shocked if he's thinking approximately marriage in any respect. If he and his kinfolk do no longer shop kosher, there is in all probability no longer numerous a issue. you are able to would desire to contemplate in case you're keen to take part interior the gala's (Passover, Rosh Hashanah especially) through fact maximum secular Jews nonetheless do the classic issues on those days. and whilst an atheist, i think of you will detect an astounding sort of meaning in Passover. i be attentive to fairly countless Jewish/atheist marriages, all of that are ones the place the Jewish companion isn't extremely observant and does not shop kosher. in case you're coping with a guy who's observant and keeps kosher, you're in all probability going to have super issues.

Remove Jewish and Atheist from the sentence and reread it... What do you think then? Is it okay for a girl to love a boy? Certainly.
Labels man!

the only person who can tell you who you can and cannot fall in love with and whether it is right or not is yourself, even if it will bring you an eternity in hell, a million years in heaven, whatever, you fall in love to enjoy your life here, on Earth, that the majority of people living on it accept as an existing reality despite their religious beliefs. Love makes life worth living, and you should not put what someone else tells you in the way of its course if you don't believe it yourself. The answer to your question can only be found within yourself, not in any greater being, and certainly not from a random stranger from the internet.

Of course it is!
All religions teach love, am I correct?
Love should show no boundaries... Love should not follow rules! Love is ALWAYS good, as long as no-one is being harmed.
IGNORE all those people telling you "no"! This is LOVE we're talking about here.

If God loves everyone, why can't you? I believe that would give you more God points because you are as open-minded and non-judgemental as the creator.
