Would you date a person of a different nationality/religion?

Question

Honestly i dont mind dating people outside my country , pretty cool

Twilight_Angel · Accepted Answer

I voted yeah, don't mind but here's the thing:
I'm Australian and a Christian, I don't mind if you're a different nationality - if I'm attracted to you then I'm attracted to you - but the religion I'm up in the air with. I don't force my religion onto anyone (and no one should) and I'm cool to date atheists or fellow Christians but I'm not sure about other religions. I'm not saying I'm not open to the idea, I'm just saying I've never done it before and if I did then I'd be worried on the future such as marriage, kids, etc. For example I'd really like any children I'd have in the future to be baptized but if he's a different religion then he may not wish that and have something else done instead. We could meet in the middle and not have kids baptized and such until they are old enough to decide from themselves but I don't know. Whereas if I was with a Christian they would obviously want the same as I do or if I was with an atheist then they probably wouldn't care if the kids were baptized. Now I probably sound like a hardcore Christian which I'm not but I do like to follow certain things pertaining to Christianity.

I have no preference or personal care when it comes to race, ethnicity, or nationality. I would just need us to be able to speak each others languages if we were from different countries and didn't know the same language lol.
However, because my values are predominantly centered around my religious beliefs and am very outspoken I don't think I'd be able to have a serious relationship with someone who doesn't believe the same as I do religiously no matter how open minded I am. My values greatly impact major decisions in my life and will have the strongest affect on how I raise my future children, therefore I would need a spouse who shares in my basic beliefs in order for the relationship to stay strong and grow.

Nationality doesn't really matter much to me. I might be hesitant if they come from a country that is prone towards terrorism though. Plus I would not really want to get involved with someone who was not likely to remain in my country. My brother married a Brazilian girl who was in the U. S. illegally and he didn't know she was and when they had a baby she was deported and took the baby with her. He hasn't seen his kid in over ten years and has no idea where in Brazil she and his son are. I would want to avoid that kind of scenario. At the least I would need to know where her family lived if I ever had to track down a child.

Nationality doesn't typically matter. Religion... It depends.

If a couple doesn't share very similar values, it's not going to work, plain and simple. They don't have to be cookie-cutter identical in this regard, but cultural rifts can easily kill a relationship. I'm not going to waste my time with someone if I know we have incompatible world views.

OlderAndWiser · Answer

I am a Christian American. I have dated women from 9 countries other than the US, I have dated women of different Christian denominations, a Jew, a Jehovah's Witness, and several agnostics.

NorthAfrican · Answer

Different nationality: No problem.
Different religion: Nope. He has to be Muslim. First of all I'm not allowed to marry outside of my religion. 2nd of all I don't want to deal with religious debates and whatnot especially when educating the children.
Interfaith relationships only work when at least one person in the relationship is not seriously practising.

Siren777 · Answer

Yes because I am open to it. As long as they don't impose their radical views on me. I've been raised to respect everyone no matter their religion or ethnicity. To me this shouldn't be an issue but people still follow old ways of thinking of their forefathers that limit their posibilities of having beautiful relationships.

silvermoon84 · Answer

Nationality yes/religion no. I have dated guys from other nationalities. I’ve dated an Irishman, an Englishman, a Serbian guy, a Russian guy and the guy that I’m currently talking too was born in Korea, so I have no issue dating guys of different nationalities. I wouldn’t date someone of a different religion because my religion is a big part of my lifestyle, and I want someone who has a similar lifestyle as me, but as one user already said that’s not something you can control so who knows.

Nik1hil · Answer

Hey i got nothing against any nation!.

I am willing to date any girl of any nation.. As long she matches my other criteria. And satisfy the requirements for being my girl.

Religion part can be a little tricky..
But I am okay with Christianity and Jewish and a few other religion.. Might even convert to her religion if it means a happy life with her..

Darbby · Answer

Yessss. Definitely. I got a thing about Asian guys 😊

Shihab91 · Answer

When people ask me these questions i say I don't know.
In my mind i say i want a girl from my own religion and culture but who knows. It's not something you really control 100%. Some people from a different culture might be good enough forcing you to change your mind.

Crazybeeguy · Answer

Yep, to limit yourself, is like limiting your imagination. Imagine if you can not make someone happy where you live. There is another soul out there that you could make happy. That's like asking what is love?

desidoll · Answer

Different nationality is okay but not someone from a different religion.

TurkishGirl_ · Answer

If I love someone, I don't care about their nationality and religion.

Anonymous · Answer

Yes, and I did date women of different nationality and/or race in the past.

Only would struggle different religion, as some religions ban women to date men from other religions ( in some it is even punishable by death) and I'm not converting...

Smashingdoozy · Answer

Prefer to date seome with the same religious views which is none.  Nationality doesn't matter nor does ethnicity (which is what I think you actually meant)

BlackTealLazer · Answer

Yeah, I mean, no harm in it. I currently have a crush on this guy who works at the grocery store--he's Korean. I'd love to get to know him; he seems really cool.

TheUniqueOne96 · Answer

I probably wouldn't date someone of a different religion - I'm not religious myself, because differences would get in the way, I'd feel. As for nationality, yeah, I would.

ShaTTeredMasterpeace · Answer

I don't really care too much about nationality. I'm just not sure i could date someone that didn't believe in a higher being.

doopayo · Answer

I don’t care if someone’s a different nationality but different religions would probably be rough since we don’t have much in common

Alyssa11 · Answer

In general I wouldn’t because my religion is important to me and I’m attracted to Arab men like myself. However I’m also attracted to black guys lol.

hela1110 · Answer

Same religion is necessary for me but same nationality is not

Ms_Vanderquack · Answer

I don't date crazy people. But nationality doesn't really matter as long as it doesn't come with a communication barrier.

Dchrls78104 · Answer

Different nationality, maybe if she has what I seek. Different religion, I don't know about that; not being able to talk to the one closest to you about the things that mean the most to you is hardly my idea of a dream relationship.

MysticDevice · Answer

From a different country, sure. Not a religious person though. Religion annoys the hell out of me so I gave it up long ago. Last thing I need is to go out with someone who'll try and convert me back.

BakedBeanieBabie · Answer

Been there, done that. Though it's hard to find religious folks who will date a bi person.
