What if someone is a perfect match except for politics?

[undeterred]

I am attracted to someone I hardly know who works at the same company, and co-workers say he's asked about me. Turns out he has a profile on a dating site and I found it last night. And I have to say I was absolutely delighted and thinking we might be good for each other until I saw that he described his politics as "conservative". I don't know if its important to him or not, its just a one word answer on a profile... hmmm :shrug:

1. Don't decide until you exchange nude photos.

3. That's always the best way to do.

6. You're right, but I don't have a current one.

2. Give it a try.

When meeting, you will discover if his personality gels sufficiently with yours.

And if he's not, you'll know quickly. :)

There is nothing to lose in such an endeavor.

4. Depends on how he defines "conservative".

That word can hold a number of things that may or may not be compatible with you and your beliefs. I don't think I'd pass on the opportunity to get to know him. After you do, then you can decide whether or not to pursue things further.

5. Personally, I couldn't handle that.

Since politics is a subject that I am highly passionate about, and thus spend a lot of time talking about, a relationship with a conservative would never work for me. But only you know whether or not *you* could deal with something like that.

Good luck either way!
