I'm super glad to hear that you're willing to do the tough thing, I understand the temptation that you are facing. Keep being strong, and follow God no matter what! ;)
Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart;
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art
Thou my best Thought, by day or by night,
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.

Be Thou my Wisdom, and Thou my true Word;
I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord;
Thou my great Father, I Thy true son;
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.

Be Thou my battle Shield, Sword for the fight;
Be Thou my Dignity, Thou my Delight;
Thou my soul’s Shelter, Thou my high Tower:
Raise Thou me heavenward, O Power of my power.

Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise,
Thou mine Inheritance, now and always:
Thou and Thou only, first in my heart,
High King of Heaven, my Treasure Thou art.

High King of Heaven, my victory won,
May I reach Heaven’s joys, O bright Heaven’s Sun!
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all.

Prayer, prayer and some more prayer. I know a lot of the CAA members will be praying for you, and I will as well.

Hold on to God, no matter what. You are not the only one who has struggled with this... many of us have. But God carried us through, and I know he will carry you as well.

By the way, did you know that Watchman Nee was in the same situation? He was planning on marrying his childhood sweetheart, but after he was saved God showed him that he could never marry and unbeliever. It was hard for him, but he broke up with her.

Years later they met again, and during the time they were apart God saved her! They married shortly after. Isn't God amazing!!!
But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ. Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith-- that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, that by any means possible I may attain the resurrection from the dead.

Starting a dating relationship is serious, but it is not the same as making a life-long commitment. I see no problem in beginning a relationship. It's the best way to determine what her feelings are. I do not believe that the only reason for dating is finding a mate, so I do not believe “unequally yokedâ€

I'm glad you made the choice you did, Az! n.n It would have been tough to date a girl of a different faith, and as everyone has already said, she would probably bring you down more than you would bring her up. So keep on praying and waiting for the right girl, she'll come eventually! n.n

Ya know... the "bringing down" possibility isn't even the only potential problem.

Kinda coming from this on a different angle...

I was a Mormon when I decided to date a Christian. It was against my religious upbringing to be in a relationship like that with someone who didn't share my unique beliefs. But he seemed willing to convert.. he seemed like the perfect kind of person to convert.

It actually turned out that I ended up converting to his beliefs. Which is good and all...

But what happened, is I relied very heavily upon him for that. The focus was wrong for a very, very long time, no matter how much I told myself that I had converted for the right reasons.

It's not fair to either person to put them in a situation where either is relying on the other for not just the comfort and trust that such a relationship brings, but for the beliefs that will get them through life.


It's just hard to be sure that the reason for a conversion in that kind of situation when so many other feelings are involved.

And if moments of doubt come (and they most likely will eventually), it's also not right to feel obligated to believe for the sake of the person you're dating.
