religion & OLD
| Sat, 09-02-2006 - 10:33am |
First off, I don't want to irritate anyone here but just want some opinions. I've been emailing with a guy a few times & he sounds really good but... where's he's from is really old LDS country & his family has been there a few generations. He's late 40's with quite a few kids & even 5 grandkids, Fits the bill that way, but his profile says he does drink socially (taboo for LDS) & is "spiritual but not religious. I respect the LDS but definitely am not interested in getting anywhere close to it. How can I find out- is it ok to just come out & ask? Personally, I think that's kind of tacky & rude but maybe I'm wrong. Any suggestions??

Thank you! Just learned something... :o) In some cases I don't know if it can be reconciled, especially when there's a huge religious difference. Are you religious yourself or just spiritual? I think that things can work out if the two people in question aren't devout and/or don't force their beliefs on the other party.
I'm spiritual and more and more am starting to consider myself a Christian but I don't go to church every Sunday nor holiday. I also would not force a partner into doing what I did. So long as he didn't blast my beliefs, it would be fine, you know?
What it comes down to is each person and the level of their beliefs I think.
I would follow Small Peanut's advice and ask the question in the way she did. There's no point to wasting your time or his...
Hope this helps!
