Only dating Catholics as a Catholic. How important do you think this is?
An atheist guy asked me (19F) out recently, and I think he’s a really good guy and like him a lot. We connect well in certain ways, but I would rather be with someone of the same faith who has values that are more similar to mine, so I (kindly) rejected him explaining that to him.
I don’t understand how a romantic relationship between a non Catholic and Catholic could work well ultimately. And even though he‘s okay with me being Catholic (or okay with this for now at least), I think we would’ve clashed on some major things ultimately (for example, I’m waiting until marriage and he’s an atheist who doesn’t have these beliefs and most likely wouldn’t be okay with waiting even if he is rn).
So I feel like I probably made the right decision but I am a little sad about it because I do like everything else about him, and if he was Catholic I would date him.. but he’s not. How important do you think dating another Catholic as a Catholic is? Would you only date a Catholic?
