I’ve realized that because I am agnostic, building a love relationship with someone is going to be a DIFFICULT task.  I find that most people I encounter have specific religious beliefs (mainly Christian or Islamic beliefs) and being in a relationship with someone who is agnostic will prove to be tricky.  I don’t have any issue with dating someone who is deeply-rooted in their religion, BUT when it comes to me not necessarily agreeing with a certain religious practice or belief I find that a problem arises.  FOR INSTANCE, one of the issues in my last relationship was that he was really into his religion (church every Sunday when he was off of work, etc.) and I only went to church when he would go.  He kept HOPING that I would change and would become disappointed when certain things reminded him that he wasn’t making progress with me.  I even compromised with him and told him that if we had children they could be raised as Christians, although I knew there would be some issues when they realized that Mommy didn’t always go to church with them.  DON’T GET ME WRONG, I know that not everyone who practices a religion will have an issue with dating and building a love relationship with someone outside of their faith, BUT I do know that it will be harder to find someone who IS okay with it.  We’ll see what happens.

Peace,
