atheist here / would and have dated someone who believed in God. The more dogmatic they are the less likley we could work out.

I had a number of Jewish and Pagan girlfriends in my past and the ever-so-popular spiritual but not religious --although I am still confused on exactly what that means except not dogmatic which is good enough for me.

i got shot down a lot for not believing in god over the years. I figured I should put my atheism on the table early in the courting process. I had women a few times walk out on a date when I told them i didn't believe in God. That was a super long time ago though.

@robertsnj They just left right after you said you don't believe in God??

@Coralmist that was 20 plus years ago, only twice, and they were coffee dates. Not llike they walked out of a restaurant.

It is reallly intersting though watching people talk about their dating experiences on here, I haven't thought about that in a long time but I had experienced some similar uglyness in the dating world a lot of you single people talk about now. I just good at not letting it get to me and doing small sutff on first dates like only considering coffee and patsries on a 1st date.

On a sidentote I wish you isnglei folk, of both genders would have an exchange thread where you both talk about tips for helping each other connect with the oppostie sex. Probably would help many of you and build a support structure for you all on thsi forum.
