I really like this guy and he really likes me but he's an atheist and I'm a Christian?
I had been praying to God for about two months to bring someone special in my life. I met a guy in my art class. He is really sweet. And we have expressed to each other that we like each other and are considering dating. Though since he is an atheist, this creates a major problem. Having a mate that is a Christian is very important to me. I haven't brought it up to him considering I have only known him for less than a month. I also don't understand why God would bring someone in my life that is an atheist. I suppose you could say that I am fairly attractive so I get hit on a lot. But 98% of the guys that hit on me are NOT my type at all. But this guy is. I know that it's a disaster waiting to happen so I'm hesitant to pursue anything. What should I do?
btw if it helps...im 20 years old

if you really like this guy, it shouldnt matter what he is and what you are. the most important thing is that you are at your happiest with him and could be with him forever. god brought this man into your life so you could see that just because some people are different than you, doesn't mean they aren't right for you. you have to think really hard about this; is he the one for you? does he bring a smile to your face as soon as you see him? and vice versa? maybe the best thing to do is to talk with him about it. if he is really the one for you, he'll understand and accept you for who you are.

I am a Christian girl myself so I understand the dilemma you are in. Perhaps it would be best to talk to this guy about where he stands, and ask him the reasons as to why he doesn't believe in God. I totally get how you feel about wanting a Christian partner because you want to have someone that shares your interests and passions as well as someone who sees the world the same way as you. Also it says in the bible not to be yoked together with a non-believer.
Maybe God is giving you an opportunity to share his love and tell this guy about Him. Whether the best way of doing this is through a romantic relationship or just friendship it is hard to say. I will be praying for you that God will open your eyes to His will for you.

relies upon on the Christian and the Atheist. My ex is Christian, i'm agnostic Unitarian leaning in direction of Atheist. Early on interior the relationship, she asked me what i assumed in, commonly used the respond, virtually asked a 2d question, yet then replaced into quiet. I asked her what replaced into on her concepts - it replaced into glaring she replaced into preserving lower back. ultimately I guessed... I instructed her she replaced into in no thank you to be embarrassed approximately her faith. She replaced into so grateful, to no longer be judged... That replaced into as close as we ever had to any hassle over it. yet no longer each and every physique keeps an open concepts. some human beings are afraid to be with people who are not a mirrored photograph of themselves. until now you exhibit your self, ask relating to the passages of the Bible that could reason doubts in absolutely everyone. Does she have faith verses like Numbers 31: 17, 18 mirror the genuine intentions of a loving God? Ask her relating to the stable Samaritan, and who he could be in immediately's society. Ask her why Jesus went between the sinners, and not the politicians and the preachers. Ask no count if a Buddhist can nevertheless be stable and circulate to Hell, and no count if a Christian can circulate to Heaven without stable deeds. If she passes the attempt and gadgets your concepts relaxed, congratulations. If no longer, extra helpful for the the two certainly one of you to comprehend it now.
