2 Corinthians 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

Don't get hung up on "religion". If she is saved, that is what matters.

Why should there be a problem dating her? I can guarantee that single Mormon women are not trained or taught to be “Sirens” by luring men into the religion with their charm. What benefit does anyone gain from this?

There is no problem dating her if both of you are open to each other about your thoughts fillings, and beliefs.

That being said, agreeing some other answers, should this relationship develop into something further (marriage), their may be problems. Most churches believe that people should marry within the same faith, and Mormons are no exception. Except, they are not worried out marrying a non-member. They are concerned about a home that has two religions, and how that may effect the home environment and the children. The Mormon Church just wants everyone to be happy, even if it’s not with them. Having two (or more) religions in a household can invite skepticism and arguments, as well as tolerance and understanding.

So good ahead and date her, just stay open minded. If she isn’t open to you, then she’s wrong. If the relationship is developing more, just keep in mind what it could mean for your family, good luck.

Mormons are Christian-however, most girls who are Mormon like to be married in a Mormon temple-meaning you will have to convert. However, tell her that you'd like to have just one discussion with some missionaries-and then see how that goes.

Well, it could cause difficulties later on, if you get serious. I know some people who have become christian from mormon, but if she is a serious mormon, i wouldn't go for it. And no, mormons are not christians. It sounds like you know that, but don't ever believe it. Some of the beliefs are the same, but they have twisted what christians believe.

um....she's cristian too fyi. Mormons ARE christians.

Mormons are taught to marry in the temple. Only 2 mormons can do so. I think you're headed into serious drama if you persue it and she continutes to esteem it as important.

No, you would be going against God's plan for the family. I also know something personally about this, because my sweet husband is not saved. It can be VERY lonely being spiritually single.

no, it doesn't matter. you don't have to marry someone of the same religion. agree to disagree.

if you two were to even have kids you have three choice
1- raise them with 2 religions
2-pick one religion for them
3-raise them with no religion and let them choose their own when they get odl enough

Personally I recommend 3 or 1. 2 will cause fighting. 1 shoudl amke you both happy. 3 would be best so you know your child is happy with what s/he believes and choose it when they were old enough

Like normobrian says Mormons are Christians.

Latter-day Saints, unlike many other Christian traditions, do not accept the definitions of God as created by the Greek philosophers.

Our beliefs about the Godhead "are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner [stone]." (The Holy Bible, Ephesians 2:20)

Using the apostolic and prophetic teachings as our base, Latter-day Saints believe in the Jesus who was the preexistent Word of the Father; that was the Father of heaven and earth, the Creator of all things from the beginning; that was the God of Abraham , Isaac, and Jacob; that was the Only Begotten Son of God who was born to the virgin Mary in the town of Bethlehem; that was baptized by John; that healed the sick and raised the dead, that walked on water, multiplied loaves and fishes, and performed many other miracles; that set a perfect example for mankind to emulate and that all men and women are commanded to follow his teachings and example in all things.

We believe that Jesus suffered in the garden and on the cross, until he finally died as a willing sacrifice for mankind in order to bring about an infinite atonement through the shedding of his blood. After his death, we believe that he was physically resurrected and that he ascended into the heavens, from which he will come at the end of this world to establish his kingdom upon the earth and eventually to judge both the living and the dead. We believe Jesus is and was the Holy Messiah, the Savior and Redeemer of the world and all those who will follow him. Finally, we believe in the Jesus who is the Christ, the Eternal God, manifesting himself unto all nations.

Now that we have established the identity of the Jesus Christ in whom Latter-day Saints believe, may I ask who is the Jesus in whom you believe?

A dictionary defines a Christian as "one who professes belief in Jesus as Christ or following the religion based on the life and teachings of Jesus," and "one who lives according to the teachings of Jesus." Thus two characteristics identify Christians: First, they profess belief in the Savior, and second, they act in harmony with the Savior's teachings. Faithful members of the Church called Saints or Latter-day Saints, qualify clearly in both characteristics. In our belief and our action, we demonstrate that "Jesus Christ Himself (is) the chief corner stone" of our faith.

First and For most we are all Gods Children. Date her if you like. Introduce her to your faith. Explain with patience why you believe what you believe and don't judge. Good luck

There will be extra stuff to work out if it gets serious so it has less chance of working out. But if you want to date, why not?
