I've seen it become a problem in the long term. I knew a couple who dated several years and it affected them to the point where they ultimately had to part ways instead of getting married and being compatible in every other way. The guy couldn't handle the idea of marrying a non-Christian so he ended up quickly marring a woman who was not a good match, but she was the same religion. It was a real shame seeing that happen.
If people can feel comfortable not being in sync religiously that's fine and it's fine if someone can't handle it. But if they can't handle it there's no point in even starting anything, one or both sides gets hurt when it falls apart. Why go thru all that crap? There's enough people on the planet to find someone who doesn't put you thru that.
I just want to clarify, she can't be your girlfriend because she's a Christian but she can have sex before marriage? Why isn't she concerned about that sin? I don't think it's considered a sin to marry an unbeliever. At the very least it suggests it's best not. But I haven't studied the issue. But if it is considered a sin, why is that an issue for her when the other isn't?
Jam it back in, in the dark.
