Doesn't necessarily mean they will have the same belief, they just might not wanted to be included in it though and either they respect or disrespect the stuff you're doing. Needless to say, if he disrespect your believes than drop him like a bomb! If he is mutual or respect what you believe I say go for it. It has happen to me in the past 2 relationship.  | |

Posted: 5/6/2008 7:58:21 PM | | I think one should get to know someone first before talking about controversial stuff. I mean, I had a man across from me recently that was a self-proclaimed sexologist complete with the IRS chasing him around for his tax right off for Club Hedonism in Jamaica. I almost gagged with a drink of wine coming out of my nose . . . . . anyway, just think you could be like me. I'm a medium/psychic and sometimes the gentleman I am having dinner with has a dead relative drop in for a chat . . . . . | |

Posted: 5/8/2008 8:33:54 PM | i am looking to date a like minded person. Someone who is not practising wicca does not interest me. It is difficult to find straight men who practise wicca. It would be nice to date someone with common goals and interests. etc. I feel that there is no point dating someone who is not on the same page and who has no clue. This is who i am...I dont understand why its so hard to find someone like minded and that i am atracted to and vice versa

Posted: 5/8/2008 8:54:22 PM | I usually just call myself "spiritual", but that is kind of a lame term sometimes I realize. I have taken a few different beliefs or practices or what have you from several of the different (more mainstream) faiths I've been involved in throughout my life, and sometimes sort of combine them in a way. But that being said I do have a strong interest for , and to some extent I suppose I do actually practice, what I guess they are calling "neo-paganism" now. In my case it's mostly focused on Egyptian, and some of the Latin and Greek as well. I don't know anyone else who's into it though, it's just a mixture of an aesthetic, of sorts, with me, and a bit of actual (occasional) "practice", like I said. But dating a bible-thumping "born again", or really any very devout Xian, much less devout Jew or Muslim, would not work out I don't believe. Would I tell them about it upfront? I may make it clear I'm a non-believer in what they believe in, at least....and usually, in the cases of the above 3 I just mentioned, that might probably be enough. If they get too pushy with me I always have my hungry lions...  | |

Posted: 5/9/2008 6:33:47 PM | | xNEROx, you might be amused that my girlfriend is an Egyptian/Norse/Druidic Pagan, and she's probably more pushy with her faith than I am with mine! | |

Posted: 5/9/2008 6:51:50 PM | Accused of being a "baby burner" and attempting to seduce a religious person from her own beliefs and all such crap. Not allowed to practice my beliefs. Been there, done that. Not a good way to go.
Either the person accepts it and doesn't rag you about it, or they are not the person for you. | |

Posted: 5/9/2008 7:03:34 PM | ^^^ I am Pagan, not Wiccan.... but I have a lot of Wiccan friends.... and recently I was accused of being a "torturer, murderer, and reader of dead baby entrails".... all I could think that he showed his total lack of intelligence and overabundance of judgemental attitudes..... not for me, thanx.
I have found that sticking with someone of similar beliefs just tends to save so much explaining, etc.... and makes it so much easier. I won't have someone else's beliefs stuffed down my throat, nor will I do it to them... that shows such a lack of respect to me.... I think I would rather stay in a similar belief structure for a partner. | |

^^Really???? You don't seem pushy with your beliefs at all. And Egyptian and Norse, that's kind of a strange combo, right? But whatever works for her. I admit I'm kind of surprised however that you, as a traditionalist Catholic, would date a pagan. That's pretty cool though. | |

Posted: 8/2/2008 5:28:46 AM | Well, I put in my profile right up front I'm 'mostly Wiccan'...
...and got almost immediately IM'ed by a Christian minister who wanted to date.
Yeah... right.
I would love to find a pagan man to date, not so much because he would be pagan but because we would have something in common. My path is very important to me and it's something I'd love to share with someone else. Would I date a non-pagan? Yes, provided I didn't feel pressured to change. | |

Posted: 8/4/2008 8:11:18 PM | Well, I definitely agree that couples should be accepting and or in agreeable when it comes to faith/religion. Even if you are a solitary Witch, your partner should be okay with that. I don't think both have to be witches, but I think it may help if our faith is what you really want in a partner.
Is it tough finding other pagans? For sure. Maybe check out your local Renn festival and come dressed in a cloak and robe. LOL | |

Posted: 8/5/2008 3:08:35 PM | | I seriously have to do a research paper one day on the connection between pagans and renaissance faires. You can't swing a dead cat at a renn faire without hitting a pagan. Me included. | |

Posted: 8/5/2008 6:00:01 PM | | I would not mind dating a Wiccan woman. Or just having one as a friend would be nice as well. I'm a Christian and very open minded (which I take great pride in). | |

Posted: 8/7/2008 1:32:19 PM | | In a way, but... I will NOT compromise my beliefs, but I WILL accept that someone else may believe their faith just as strongly as I do mine. And that's okay. | |

Posted: 8/8/2008 9:17:18 AM | | I'm sure a wiccan wouldn't go any firther then chatting on the interwebs, with someone who was christian or of that sort.. | |

Posted: 8/8/2008 5:13:16 PM | | I think what it boils down to is compatibility in a relationship. How much do you have in common? I've met some very hardcore Christians who are so closed minded (I'm not saying all are), that they could not accept my beliefs as a Wiccan. Within two weeks, one fellow was trying to convert me to Christianity. Not happening. You can not force your beliefs on someone else. You have to have some common ground or be open minded enough to accept each other's beliefs and differences. Common ground is important. If religion/spirituality is important to one person, or is their focus in life, then it should be important to their partner too. | |

Posted: 8/8/2008 6:22:31 PM | | I am a Wiccan and I am very careful about disclosing my beliefs to anyone. This is one reason why I'm leary about dating again. Many indiviuals have accused me of worshiping the devil (including my ex and my co-workers.) I have a young son and I don't want him to have to suffer, because many indiviuals are very biased concerning relgion. Since I reside in an area where most people are Christian, I am chosing not to date at this time. | |
