DU: Help me out with girl/religion issue...
Edited on Mon Mar-08-10 12:40 AM by BolivarianHero
I've met a girl I'm extremely attracted to and with whom I share a lot of common interests...We went on a couple of dates that went okay, and she's been out of town for a couple of weeks, and since then we've been doing some pretty heavy stuff in chat and on cam...Buuuuuttt...She's a strong Baptist who opposes equal rights for same-sex couples and is steadfastly creationist...But she seems to think that her extremely high libido exempts for the crap she would impose on others...How should I handle this? (P.S. I am being 100% serious...This is a real problem I'm having...lol)

1. Do you like the girl?
If you do, date her. If not, cut her loose. Dont let politics get in the way of a relationship if it works for you, and you can handle it.

2. You gotta do what's right for you. Me? I could never.
My husband and I weren't raised in the same religion. It's not important to either of us, so it's not important. But either of us would kick the other to the curb if he/she didn't believe in equal rights. That one's nonnegotiable.

If you are just having fun, that's one thing. But long term, you have to know what your values are, what you can abide, and what you can't.

6. Will she respect YOU in the morning?
...after you have serviced her libido?
Not that there is anything wrong with servicing her libido.

4. A highly libidinous homophobic Creationist, you say?
.
Ask her to give you some time to think about it.
.
Go to Tibet for a couple of years and train with a Master
there to become one with the spiritual and sexual Universe.
.
Return. Pick up your relationship where you left off.
.
When you inevitably get into bed, use your mastery of the
spiritual AND the profane to bring her right to the very
brink of literal NIRVANA -- a higher plane that she will
instinctively and immediately KNOW that she will NEVER
reach again... STOP... and tell her that you can no longer
live in the closet.
.
Out yourself (with pride) as a female gorilla, and walk out
the door... without a second thought.
.
.
.
And then come make me one with everything.
.
.
.
Hold the onions.
.
.
.
That's what I'D do.

7. Ask her how her lusty drive for men
somehow make her better than a couple with kids who have been together for 20 years.

Then dump her when she can't say a thing in response.

8. Call me a sellout, but I'd go for it if I were in the same position.
The politics/religion thing would be an inevitable problem if this turned into a serious relationship, but as long as it's only a fling, I'd think you can bite your tongue long enough to have some fun (sexual and otherwise) with this lady.

10. Test her with a line from "Arthur": "Would you object to naming a child Vladimir, even a girl?"
The only real purpose of that is to test her sense of humor, a very important factor. On a serious note, does she know you have a problem with her beliefs? If not, you need to level with her and have "the talk" sooner rather than later. If it is going to sink the relationship, it is better to let it go down before things get really serious. I've seen a lot of people get stuck in relationships with unreconciled fundamental differences. It isn't pretty. If you can both live with it then that is great.

12. What can you possibly have in common with her?
What kind of a serious conversation can you ever have.

13. People Shouldn't Impopse Conditions On Others They Exempt Themselves From
If her reading of the Bible prohibits homosexual relationships it certainly prohibits sex outside of the context of marriage.
