I would be loving the person. Their religion would be of no consequence.

Maybe love someone first, and than find out later there is a problem because of the different religions. Than that can break it up for sure.
But I know a couple that made it work the girl changed her religion for him actually. If it is good or bad to do that I am not giving an opinion as it depends on the individual couple.

Yes! If you can't love someone who has another religion (belief) than you then the love of God is not in you.
If you are talking about loving someone like a mate, then again, YES, this is possible, but marrying this person would not be the best choice. When two people don't believe the same things, one will suffer for compromising.
As Christians, we should be affecting others lives positively, not them INfecting ours with the spirit of compromise.

Not only would I do so, I am doing so. My dearly beloved is Jewish, I'm Church of England, and we moved in together 10 years ago, when we were 19 years old. 10 years and one son later, we are still very much in love.
It is very handy - no arguments about whose family to visit over the holidays, we go to mine at Christmas and Easter, and his at Passover and Hannukah.
If either of us had decided against the other for reasons of religion, that would have been a triumph of bigotry over love.
As St. Paul put it in 1 Corinthians 13:
1.Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not love, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not love, I am nothing.
3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not love, it profiteth me nothing.
4 love suffereth long, and is kind; love envieth not; love vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
8 love never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.
9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
13 And now abideth faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

You mean another system or style of religion? Yes, of course. Religion per se, the personal and harmonious relationship with God is the same any other way.

As a Christian, I am called to love my neighbor...I love all people regardless of religion and race, etc.
Would I allow myself to "fall in love" and progress into a romantic relationship with someone who is not a Christian, no. I did it once, and it didn't work out. I compromised my beliefs, and the guy thought my friends were "freaks". I am still recovering from the emotional roller coaster, 10 years later...

In a way,Love is a kind of a religion by itself with it's own deep faith system and any other religion wouldn't make any difference,what so ever.Love doesn't recognize any barriers or can be stopped by any obstacles.Love conquers all.

I could not truly respect someone who I thought to be suffering from a delusion or an evolutionary mistake that caused her to have religion. I might like her a lot, but the issue of religion would be too much for me to handle over time. Especially when it came time to have kids. Most religious people have a strong need to indoctrinate their children as soon as they're out of the womb and I look upon that as a form of child abuse.
So, in a nutshell, no.

Of course - friendship & basic relationships could work.
But to have a romantic relationship..I don't believe it would work in most cases, or at least, it wouldn't be effective for what I look for in a relationship.
I believe you have to want the same things out of life, share similar interests & views.

Yup. Most everyone I know is Seventh Day Adventist. Only my Coven Sisters and a few others are following a similar spiritual path...and even they have only "similar" paths - not exactly the same. I love them all, regardless of their spiritual path.
