writes:I am 20 years old and am still a virgin. It's never bothered me before until know. I really like this guy but he is quite a strong northern irish catholic and i'm a scottish protestant. I think there is something between us but I just fear that our religious difference would interfere. I know I shouldn't think about the divorce before we even go on a first date but it worries me that if anything did happen that and we started a family that it wouldn't work because of our differences. Also the fact if he moves back home after we graduate his family will not be happy if he was dating me. What should I do?

First, see if he likes you. Second, the Bible says don't be unequally yoked. Meaning, if his religious beliefs will hinder yours, then it may not be a good idea to be together. But, like I said. Find out if he likes you, go out on a date. Have fun and just take the first step.

 I can't tell you what you should do, but I can tell you what I would do.
I wouldn't care about the difference in religion, provided he were Catholic enough to understand that he isn't always right, and that the Catholic Church DOES NOT frown on interfaith marriages, particularly if the marriages take place among Christians.
I believe that you have a long way before you start thinking about marriage, however. You need to get to know each other well. You need to be sure you could be compatible; maybe religion will not be as serious a reason for incompatibility as you think it would be.
Good luck.
