I like more people than i love, by a far margin, so not sure i can agree.
And being with someone of a different belief is definately a bad idea. And if she's going to expect you to convert, then that's even worse. You will be in constant conflict unless you do what she says. That starts the relationship off with her setting the standards and running things, instead of the man. Already a bad start.
You have to ask yourself what's more important, pleasing God or getting what you want, regardless of how it will wreck your faith.

Whatever it is, just run.
This really good looking conservative jew fancied me awhile back. I entertained the idea of asking her out, but since Jesus is supposed to be one of those, well, non-negotiable things I retracted.
Temptations arise my friend. We are to run from them.
And of course they are temptations. If we were not attracted to them, they would make pretty poor temptations to distract and/or ruin us would they not?

Scriptures are strict on this. unequal yoking, there is not relationship between a born again and a mormon.
really dont try to disobey GOd,
i liked a certain girl in high school who was a not serious believer, i believe she was being controlled by a spirit of lust, had "feelings" for her really. it was deep, i actually "confessed" that to a friend of mine (he was bornagain). but he gave me the advice am giving you today, he told me to ask GOD, that if "the lady is meant to be mine, let the feelings remain", but if not "let Christs blood wash em out". now i have no feelings for anyone.
another thing is if we put people in our hearts, and be impressed by certain characters, or attributes that they have, we might fall for them, and falling for them in a manner of LUSTFUL intents. some relations can be pure yes, but there is a thin line between purity and lust.
and it is obvious when we look at the things that draw us near to a lady, we see that this is not Love it is lust (physical attraction)..
but i gotta say, this concept of love does confuse me really at times. but i do have clear understanding of what lust is.

I'm sorry you're going through this. I've never dated, but I've often found myself caught up withs guy who aren't christian. Of course, we can't date these people for a few reasons- yes, the bible says it's a bad idea, but more importantly, in reality, we would have nothing in common with them. It's so much easier to say this when you're not pining over someone who wants you too, but the truth remains the same. As you probably already know, this will pass and you'll find a new girl; maybe even a few new girls, and one will come along who is equal in faith with you. It's difficult to watch the prize go by for now. She's probably beautiful, intelligent, kind, has a great sense of humor, but you'll have something better in the future. It's not worth going for. Good luck! and you can make it through this one lol In the meantime, I suggest distracting yourself. Try to remind yourself that this is only infatuation- it won't last forever.
