i like this guy and asked him out. His best mate pushed me to ask him out but, didn't tell me that he's Jewish and isn't supposed to have a girlfriend. Should i tell him to forget it?What should i do?

Say: "Hey, I asked you out because I didn't know that you were Jewish and were not suppose to have a girlfriend. I'm sorry if I caused any trouble."
I didn't know Jewish people are not suppose to date...thats a new one...May be its just his family priority.

Why would being Jewish have anything to do with dating? Are you thinking that he can't date a girl that is not Jewish? Unless he is of the Orthodox Jewish Faith, he should be able to date anyone. All religions frown on their young people dating outside their faith because dates can lead to falling in love and marriage. Lots of people marry outside their faith but it is not always a lasting marriage or a happy one. If I were you I would call him and talk to him about it. I am sure he would not mind. But I see nothing wrong with one date.

As strong as religion can be if he wants to go out with you it's his personal choice, my roomate is Jewish and he has girlfriends all the time so I'm not sure what the problem is, unless of course you're not Jewish yourself some people take that strong into consideration.

Hey!
Jewish men date and get married. The only problem is that they are suposed to date and marry only Jewish girls, according to the religion. So it all depends on where he stands and how devoted he's to his faith.
I'm Jewish, but I don't view religion as a dividing point and my boyfriend is not Jewish. My parents are against our relationship, and you might face his family resistance too (if the religion matters a lot to him).
As long as you make eache other happy, don't try to change each other and know what you are up against (if you do meet resistance), nothing else should matter.
Good Luck!

Jewish men CAN date, but in order for the jewish line to continue, it should be a decent Jewish girl, as the line is matriarchal. This is because dating is purported to lead to marriage.
BTW I'm not Jewish!

It's not that he's not supposed to have a girlfriend. It's that he should be dating a girl who is jewish. If he values his religion, he wont date you or he will date you and then dump you. The ball is in his court. Ask him questions about his religion

I'm wondering how old you both are !
'Not supposed to have a girlfriend.'
I've know a fair few number of Jewish people in my life, but I've not encountered that before.
If you are interested in him, then it might help you if you did some sort of research on the matter.
Best of luck with it.

What do you mean he's Jewish and isn't supposed to have a girlfriend? That makes no sense to me. Do you think Jewish people don't date, court, marry, have families? Judaism is his FAITH, hon, not WHO he is. If he likes you and accepts your invitation, and you like him, then go and have some fun. And maybe talk to him about what it means to be Jewish. You might just be pleasantly surprised.

im dating a jewish guy and he asked me out. if he says yes then go with it but if he says no then you just need to respect his beliefs. My boyfriend and i had a conversation about him being Jewish and he was trying to convince me that Hannuka was better then Christmas. it didnt work. lol hope everything works out for you
