You want to cry and weep because you can't be with a person you love so much due to different religion than you. You can't sleep at night, curl up in the bed and always not focused in your mind. You love them so much and they might love you back but you can't date or marry them as they are of a different religion. Any person here has a similar experience and want to share?

Not really but I can understand you pain even though I do not want to lie and say I know how you feel.
If is a dicotomy that many believers feel in one way or another. That is why the Bible tell us that we are to "work out our salvation with fear and trembiling". Faced with a similar situation I later found out that the one presented was a distraction and that the "real" thing was behing the corner. I call it a dessert experience. The Children of Isreal sacrificed their destiny in the dessert for an illusion of the promise.
Hang in there and focus on the Lord for "mourning endure for a night but koy come in the morning".
I would like to say this. I have and will always admire real followers of Christ who understand that we are not earthly beings having a temporary spiritual experience the spiritual beings having a temporary earthly experience.
You are real my Brother!

A house divided against itself cannot prosper. It seems to me that being a Christian is very important to you or this wouldnt be an issue.
Building a life with someone is extremely difficult and to work a marriage needs a firm foundation. How firm can your foundation be if you dont possess the same basic beliefs?
You seem like a bit of a drama King/Queen. If I read between the lines you havent even dated this person. And what you say is love, actually sounds like an obsession or illness. You might want to seek some counseling. People break up or a torn apart all the time, its hard but youa re going to make yourself sick if you this persists too long. I suggest you see a doctor.

Yes, even I do. But one thing to always remember is that our true love for a person of different religion and a heartful prayer for that person, in due course of time will definitely make our love a success. Any Religion that does not promote true love cannot be true.
" 4 Love is long-suffering and kind. Love is not jealous, it does not brag, does not get puffed up, 5 does not behave indecently, does not look for its own interests, does not become provoked. It does not keep account of the injury. 6 It does not rejoice over unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth. 7 It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 8 Love never fails." (1 Corinthians 13:4-8)
Love Never Fails......

I am sorry about your pain. Have you ever heard the song "Broken Road" -contempory Christian-sorry I don't know the artist. Anyways-my point is that there is someone out there for you. God will bless you beyond measure for your faithfulness. I had a lot of heartache before I was blessed with an amazing Christian man to share my life with. I look back now and thank God for the unanswered prayers of my past.
I'll be praying for you.
On Bended Knees,

I know some think that because it's love that ...that should be different....but If you know Jesus as personal savior...then you really need to define that thing you call love...because the bible is very clear about being with someone who is different than you....What is more important you're souls salvation or the person you are in love with?....If they practice another religion (not denomination) i mean a whole totally different belief...then that would mean in order for you to love them ..you have to compromise what you believe about Jesus...
Other religions teach differently about Jesus...some say he is just a prophet..some say he the son of God but not God in the flesh...some add to ...or take away from...who Jesus is ...and that is dangerous ..for you as a believer...because ...the bible says never to add to ...or take away from...the word...the word is Jesus..
Let me show you the scriptures...
Amos 3:3..says .. Can two walk together, except they be agreed?
2 Corinthians 6:14...says...Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
If a person DOES NOT believe who Jesus is according to the bible...they are defined as an UN believer....
I challenge you to look within...and determine the love you say you have for that person...and know the difference between love and Lust...and apply them to the word....If they cannot choose Jesus...then you must choose between Jesus or that person...

I'm a Christian. If you love her and she loves you don't let your religion stop a marriage.
Or if it's in your power don't shun her because she's in a different church.
Give it time, be an example if it's true love then it will work out.
If not, then there's someone better for you and her and this relationship is building you and her up for your real loves.

Yep. I once had a girlfriend who said our different points of view were not that bad (she is a Lutheran and I am more of a mystic/yogi). We both believed in God...we both believed in Jesus' teachings (although I had a slightly different take).
Anyway, one day she says "Convert or we are through"
So I left.
It was a sad time, but we could have lived in harmony if she did not suddenly become so rigid. I was more in agreement with her parents beliefs (also Lutheran) than hers...but she said I had to believe exactly what she believed.
No one ever believes exactly as another - even among Christians. Religious harmony is possible...why don't people try.

I did, I just got saved, this person was the first person, I was able to fall in love with, the guys before him, I just lusted after, I didn't just curl up though, and he was honest with me that he did not want to get saved and become a christian, we had to part ways. Luckily my husband was just waiting in the background for this guy to make-up his mind so, he could date me and my husband was saved. It took me a while to fall in love with my hubby because I was still in love with this man, but in the end, I realized this man had some problem, he ended up with some stripper and he was addicted to porno and that would have been bad to bring into a relationship, even if he would have gotten saved, so i am happy with my husband.

Many years ago - when I told him no one on earth could keep me from marrying him - only God. He said I always wanted to be a Christian I just didn't know how.
He became a Christian, was baptized and we had a wonderful marriage.
