Hello to all!
I am new here. Thanks for reading me.
I am a greek orthodox christian, 27 years old, and work in a law office for almost 2 years now.
A couple of months ago a very nice, intelligent, kind and i have to say good looking employe joined us.
He has been very nice to me and I have been more and more interested in knowing him a little bit better.
We discovered to our great surprise that we are both christian orthodox and since then, that has been one of our small-talk conversations around the coffee machine.
I am a believer but I am not very religious (practicing), although my orthodox faith is an essential part of me.
I don t go to Church every sunday, nor do I respect all the holidays or know all my prayers or verses.
He, however does. He is a big believer and would not miss Church for anything in the world.
I must confess i looked him up on Facebook (only once) and most of his friends seem to be from his Church community.
Despite our difference, I feel that we do have something in common and the fact that his faith is so important to him, made me realize that i should also take care of mine. I went to Church a couple of times since I met him and I have been thinking a lot lately about my believes and my faith. It seems that his influence has been beneficial for me.
Now the problem:
It seems that he is dating someone and that that someone is a non christian lady.
It hurts.
I do not understand, he has been so kind and so interested in me in the past few weeks. He has made eye contact like nobody else before!!!! He makes me happy.
Also, he has made such a point out of our common faith. He told me that his faith is very important for him...and now this?
Please note 1: I believe in a unique god, and I believe that we have all been made equal. I do *not* in any way look down upon that lady because she is of another religion than mine...but i do not understand! Why did he choose to get involved into an interfaith Relationship if he is such a big believer.
Please note 2: I am not even 100%sure that he is dating that lady. He did not tell me. A common colleague has told me that he saw them holding hands a few months ago...and then again having lunch together at the small restaurant on the first flore of our building 2 weeks ago.
Please, what should i do? Should i let go? Should i try to know him better?
Should I talk to him about our faith, to see what else he has to say?
Why did he choose to get involved into a interfaith Relationship if he is a big believer? Why has he been flirting with me like crazy if he is seeing someone else?
Thank you very much for reading me, and thank you for your answers.
