i do not see any reason why a jew can not date a christian, the days of anti-sematism should be far behind us, and it's not so much a matter anymore. and to quote shakespeare in merchant of venice,
To bait fish withal; if it will feed nothing else, it will feed my revenge. He hath disgraced me, and hinder'd me of half a million, laugh'd at my losses, mock'd at my gains, scorn'd my nation, thwarted my bargains, cooled my friends, heated mine enemies; and what's his reason? I am a Jew. Hath not a Jew eyes; hath not a Jew hands, organs, dimensions, senses, affections, passions; fed with the same food, hurt with the same weapons, subject to the same diseases, healed by the same means, warmed and cooled by the same winter and summer that a Christian is? If you prick us, do we not bleed? If you tickle us, do we not laugh? If you poison us, do we not die? and if you wrong us, shall we not revenge? If we are like you in the rest, we will resemble you in that. If a Jew wrong a Christian, what is his humility? revenge. If a Christian wrong a Jew, what should his sufferance be by Christian example? why revenge. The villainy you teach me I will execute, and it shall go hard but I will better the instruction
there no different, only with beliefs

There are an awful lot of secular Jews nowadays who's only problem would be that you believe in a god. I dated a girl from a fairly religious Jewish family and her parents were nice, but you could tell they would rather she find a Jewish boy. She did find a nice Jewish Doctor....poor guy.
Her parents were less a problem than cultural differences, and the fact she was a giant jap, and oh yeah I almost forgot... totally flipping neurotic!!

There should be no problem between you two if you date as far as religion goes. The pressure is most likely to come from your families, depending on how orthodox they are concerning their respective religions. As for the shy thing you need to come up with a way to let him you know you are interested. Maybe a note or have your guy friend go talk to him if you want to kill two birds with one stone.

I am a Jewish girl and I go out with non-jewish guys all the time, but my parents dont like it which i think is ridiculous. Most jewish parents really do prefer their kids to marry Jews, so this mayb a problem if the relationship gets too serious and leads to marriage. but dont worry about that now, just date him and see where it goes! :)

If you say you're a Christian you're going to have to figure this one out on your own. By the way, a Christian IS a Jew. Someone in Judaism, in a way, is half a Jew. He hasn't come to faith yet. Use this to look for answers;

What you're really asking is; " Am I doing the right thing? " There is the gnawing of a doubt. That's good. Obedience, in this, is of paramount importance.

with the aid of fact they share the comparable foundation of concept (the Tanach / previous testomony), the two Christianity and Judaism won't be able to be genuine on the comparable time. the two G-d could have a son, or he won't be able to. the two Jesus became into the messiah, or he wasn't. the two Hell exists, or it does not. that's one or the different. i believe the previous answerer who wrote that maximum non secular Christians do no longer prefer Jews to "practice" something, with the aid of fact they're safeguard of their ideals sufficient to assert "we are precise, the Jews are incorrect." yet Christians who see that there are considerable contradictions between the Jewish and Christian scriptures and are not safeguard of their faith, prefer Jews to resign their ideals to ensure that theirs to stay corporation. when you consider that the two faiths only won't be able to be genuine, that's not sufficient to pass away it at they suggested / we suggested. they like the different reality to be refuted. in spite of everything, if there is not any Hell, why might all of us might desire to be saved? that's an exceedingly severe question. Jews, on the different hand, have a definite quantity of religious secure practices, as their faith got here first and has no longer replaced, and its practices are basically meant to be held by Jews. that's not proper to Jews if human beings of different faiths have diverse ideals - even contradictory ones to Judaism - with the aid of fact they do no longer seem to be Jews, and the Torah concept equipment isn't binding on them in any case.

They date each other all the time. Start off by not bringing religion into things. Cross that bridge later on.

Dating is no big deal, unless he or his family are hyper sensitive about such things. The real questions start if you get married and try to start a family.

If you havent talked to him at all then I would not reccommend pursuing it. I am not saying it is wrong but it could be challenging and why bother with it, I mean you will have enough problems with a b/f that is of the same faith as you anyway.

i rele think so! if they love you theyll put your differences aside. its not like your askin each other to change religion. that doesn't have to come into it. just be yourself and leave your religion out of it. also try and talk to him-i know you're both shy so maybe you should start a conversation about that-thats something you have in common! i hope it works out for you ( :
