Howdy- I'm new here obviously, and am only posting out of need: I recently have become close to a girl and its pretty clear we're attracted to each other and spend a good deal of time talking to each other and hanging out. I guess my questions are these: 1. Is interfaith dating outright banned or highly discouraged? I've had many JW male friends both date and eventually marry outside of their faith, but i'd bet most of them don't attend services or anything like that. I'm a Presbyterian and pretty white-bread about my faith, but I do have an unshakable belief in God and what I believe to be a good relationship with him. I also am what most people consider a "good" person-- I do a lot of charity work, im a member of many service orgs etc. Is there a way to get "approved" for dating without a conversion (which in my case is out of the question- I'm an elected official and otherwise political figure) to JW? 2. Is dating generally a road to marriage, or is it more accepted as a common practice now? I'm more than happy to keep seeing her in the capacity we do now if she thinks dating is only intended for someone youre considering marrying. 3. If interfaith relationships are just discouraged, howso? and would it be worth me pressing ahead with her to make a decision on this or is it bad enough that I shouldn't? Right now I think she's having it both ways, and while I kind of don't care, I'm not sure that its fair to me in the long run to be pursuing her if shes flat out unavailible to me. Thanks for any feedback/help/advice.
