I really like this guy and he really likes me but he's an atheist and I'm a Christian?

Leave him alone. If you try to change his beliefs or vice versa, you will end up resenting each other.

What makes you think God brought this guy into your life? Why would God bring someone into your life with whom you are not compatible?

At 20, you have plenty of time to find the right guy. And to have the right guy find you. This guy isn't it.

You say this guy is your type, but you know this is a disaster waiting to happen???? Read that sentence again. It should be clear to you. Actually, I think you already know the answer to what you're asking.

You've answered your own question friend. It is a disaster waiting to happen. God is not 'bringing' people into your life. Life is the interactions between us humans, God does not manipulate us.

I don't know how old you are, but if your old enough to be contemplating relationships, you are old enough to know that relationships are 'work' when everything is going right, throwing added trouble into the mix from the start is just bad judgment.

Keep looking, find someone who is compatible with you in mind and spirit, bodies will take care of themselves. Good luck friend

I think you have just displayed the reason why it will not work. You have already decided that it is a disaster waiting to happen! Just how much negativity and self loathing do you carry around with you? Give the guy a break. You know you want to. His lack of faith need not interfere with your faith. Why on Earth should it? Get a grip of yourself girl.

We're sorry to say it sounds like a trap door. We encourage you to wait until the one God has for you shows up in your life. When it's right, there is no pain. Being unequally yoked presents a multitude of problems, not the least of which is that you can't share your relationship with God with each other. That means marriage will be harder because God is not totally in it.

Niki.. Trust me as someone who has made this mistake two times. You will be miserable. The bible tells us to not be unequally yoked with unbelievers for a very good reason, and it's not to make us miserable.

2 Corinthians 6:14 (New King James Version)

14 Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness?

This man is not "your type" either.

God does not bring atheist men and women to Christians for them to "date".

Be honest and kind with this man and he will most likely treat you the same way.

Chances are he would prefer a women that shares his views and you could hardly blame him for that.

Why does religion matter in this case anyway? If you love him and he does too then he shouldn't ever resent you because of your faith and if he does then HE should find someone else. Besides, you might be able to teach him a few things....

Let it go. You'll just make each other miserable. Or worse, have fights trying to "convert" each other. One of the main reasons for divorce in the US is that people don't discuss the three big issues- money, children, and religion- properly beforehand.

Listen girl if he is a atheist he is the wrong man for you no matter what. We should not pray for man to be what we want them to be but that God will bring the right man into your life. A man like that is heading straight. to eternal punishment. You should not even be dating God wants holiness if you are not holy god wants no part with you. You should be focusing on the great earthquake that will signify the great day of God
