I am dating a guy of a different faith he is mormon and I am Luthern we have been going out for about five months he keeps on mentioning about meeting with the missionaires and talks frequently about his beliefs and his faith. I really like him but I am afraid to continue this relationship in fear it won't work out because of this issue, I am wondering if he is trying to convert me? He he is a really nice guy pays for my dates, opens doors, etc. I think he might like me but I don't want my heart broken? Should I stay in the relationship or just remain friends? Thank you.

True love knows no religous boundries. All that matters is the person has a good heart and knows right from wrong, the title you attact to it does not change the person. If you really love someone you would not want to convert them only please them. There are plenty of men out here that will love you for you not for your religous title or the lack there of.

Remain friends. Two different religions doesn't usually work out. One will have to change their faith. Of course he is trying to convert you. He likes you but not enough to like you as a Lutheran. You need some major education on the Mormon faith before you decide to pursue this relationship. That is why it is called, "dating". To see if this is a match. Every potential date is a potential mate.

I've had this problem with my boyfriend (I'm Catholic/Methodist and he's not sure he even believes in God). Interfaith relationships are really hard, but they can work out. I think the only way to know for sure would be to sit down and tell him what you're worried about, and be honest with each other about your beliefs and your expectations. Let him know that you want this to work out, but that your beliefs are really important to you and you aren't going to change that for him. He might have been thinking the same thing. If that doesn't work, I would talk to your pastor or someone strong in your faith that you trust and get their view on things. Good luck.

What's wrong with asking him if he's trying to convert you?
Really I don't see anything wrong with it but people are funny about their faith. They tend to take it to a personal level.
Just ask him and see. What could it hurt and then you'd know for sure.

i guess that depends on how much you like your religion. it is really hard if both of you are very intimate with the religion then some arguments are going to come however if you both compromise to learn about each others maybe but not convert each other to others then you should be fine it will be hard but if it ment to work it will find a way. you cant expect him to drop his religion and he catn expect that from you either

If he is serious about his religion (and most ALL Mormons are) it's very likely he'll either convert you or leave you. Ask him. There are Mormons married to non-Mormons but it is very unusual in our experience.

just talk to him and tell him how you feel. if he refuses to understand and still tries to convert you, end it. tell him that your faith is just as important as his, and that if he refuses to respect that then he is not right for you.
