Move on, seriously...A Jehovah's witness? What good can possibly come out of dating a hard line christian girl?
He likes her, he dosent seem to mind her religious views. So why bring it up ?

Unless you're a mental Xtreme lover of the bearded one yourself. Think about what you want out of it?
Or maybe he really likes her, and that outweighs his views on religion. Im atheist I dislike christianity, but think I could date a Christian girl if I liked her enough.

A.) Do you just want to sleep with her? Ha, good luck maybe 5 years down the line when she has a ring on her finger.
Yeah becuase thats all people look for. You make it sound as though no six before marriage is a bad thing, I mentioned im atheist, yet I see the no six before marriage as a pretty positive trait. Its a matter of oppinion.

B.) Take it slow? Maybe, but you're still not going sleep with her, so do you want to spend the next 6 months courting her and watching PG films?
Jesus christ, you really do seem to think a relationship revolves around six, as though its the most important thing. I actually pity you.
Basically, my admonition is that chasing a super religious person is time wasted, unless you're religious yourself.
I disagree.

See bold.

Being religious doesn't necessarily make you someone who expects others to follow the religion, too. Obviously, someone you're dating is a huge part of your life, and since religion can also be a huge part of someone's life, it'd be nice if those two things clicked - but it's definitly not a necessity. Many people are quite private about their faith, and as long as two people can respect their differences of belief, I see no problem with them dating, even if said differences exist.

It really depends on the people in question.

Ok, if you think that a teenage Jehovah's witness' parents are going to be all fine and dandy with her bringing back a non JW, then I'd like to meet them. Let's be realistic people, this girl's not going to be game unless the guy in question is of the same religion. Like someone has already pointed out, they are a very insular religion.

Good luck OP, I'd love to be a fly on the wall when you ring the door bell and her dad answers.

You're missing the point entirely! It has nothing to do with him and everything to do with her. She's not going to buy it, nor are her parents. He may be up for it, that's not the issue at hand. Fact is, a hard line JW isn't going to date a guy who's not in that circle, especially as a teenager with hard line parents. They don't believe in Christmas for god's sake!

EDIT: Also, a relationship doesn't revolve around six, but for most it's a very important part. I'm ever chivalrous, but there comes a time where six is important to continue the relationship. It creates a sense of intimacy and trust between a couple.

Also, he's a teenage boy. I know how they think, I'm one.

That's because they don't celebrate holidays with Pagan roots. (You were probably joking, but just in case you werent, I figured I'd elaborate)

I was joking, but thank you for the truth behind why they don't. I never knew.

I had a JW girl in my class at school once. Very intense people.

And catholics all hate gay people. Oh wait no, my mother has no issue with them. And I went to a catholic school where 2 girls dated eachother.

You think everyone thinks like you ? Riiiiight. Im 18 btw. Togive you an idea, people around me in school didnt shut up about drinking, football and getting laid.
I rarely drank, didnt care about football, didnt really care about getting laid either.

So you're comparing a catholic to a Jehovah's witness? Have you ever met a Jehovah's witness? I suggest you do and then get back to me they're not comparable in terms of religious intensity.

There are lots of catholics who are religious, but laid back. You can't be laid back about being a Jehovah's witness.

That's all I've got to say about it, we're going round in circles. You're obviously missing my point of view.

Your obviously missing the point that not all JWs are insane. But go ahead, make assumptions about the girl and her family who you dont even know.

This has spiraled down into a religious discussion. Whilst we were prepared to let the OP have his question in the hope that he would receive some useful and unbiased advice it seems it was too much to hope for.
