Of course that too, rather what i was refering to was a moral level of similarity. Religion imo plays a major role in morals. Different religions have diff morals and values and different behaviours they uphold.
Morals applies to those of no religion. If I vote trump but my partner hates trump there will be major conflict because our views and ideals differ. However i do agree woth you on your other points.

People say that age doesn't matter when it comes to love. Do you agree?
Also if you're waiting patiently for your girlfriend to finish school for 2-4 years, and the relationship flops once she graduates, you've just spent 2-4 years of your live having unrealistic expectations and resentment from false hope.
I think most people whom are desperate to find a true love dont realize that the relationship they seek is just a way to escape and avoid coping with their own shortcomings and depend on someone else. That usually leads to quite a dependant relationship that will take ages to get out of since you're probalbly just wanna be loved, regardless of the price. If you feel fullfilled with being single you will not only feel waaay better generally you will also be way more attractive IMO. Thats what I learned after my 3 year relationship atleast.
My personal belief is that once you are over the age of 21, age becomes less relevant, unless it is an extreme case. I think 18-21 is far too substantial of a point in time in someone's development for people to delve too deep romantically, as their priorities become skewed with what's important longitudinally and temporarily. I also think it's really stupid for graduates and graduands to become romantically acquainted, as they are both propelled by entirely different motives, and this can easily impact the younger person into misguided urgency.

i think lots of relationships fail because both people dont realize the actual work it is to maintain and choose to settle down with someone, and a bit of fairytale love isn't always gonna last
far too many people only want to date in the honeymoon phase
a really good friend of mine always complains about how she's single and how she's spent the majority of her life dating people
she's been single for more than 2 years now and since her last relationship I've only seen her go on dates with fat people when she can do way, way better
the moral of the story is be happy with being single

without mentioning religion i dont think looking for someone in your splitting image is the best way to date someone, because i think different perspectives can be exciting and even work better because you can both offer something to the relationship, which is a lot better in my opinion
of course you need to get along with someone but seeking out people who only llike what you like or think the way you do usually leaves the relationship stale
the real secret here is that making lasting relatonships is meaningless and the only real solution is to use comedy on the internet as a coping mechanism
When I was 16, my friend who was also 16 got with a 25 year old and we all freaked out. They stayed together for 10 years, got married, and had 2 children. In the end it didn't work out for other reasons.
Age does matter, but sometimes people can make it work.
Also people whom actively are looking for relationships are the ones whom shouldnt have it. They should instead focus on feeling fullfilled with soley themselves untill they get a partner IMO.
religion doesn't matter, my parents were two different religions and they only fought about it every other day, so I lucked out. could have been daily.
i think 14 is a good age to start dating, but until you reach 19-ish everybody you date is pretty much just practice for a real relationship

dating young is better so long as you treat it as something more of a experience instead of something to last, which prepares you for when you do eventually tie the knot with someone
I belive like as I said from above, someone needds to be on the same level maturity wise imo.
Another thing I belive is that anything bellow 18 is a tad bit too young. You are young and have yet to develop full reasoning. You don't even know how to pay the bills or live a life without your parents and you have the maturity and ability to date rationally?
Although I am slightly biased due to this coming from a 19 year old who has yet to date. I didn't date in high school because I saw no need for it. What did I, a 16 year old, need witha boyfriend????? How would it benefit my llife??? The answer was: It didn't.
Question to those who said that dating at the age of 16 approx:
whats the need? How does it benefit your young life?
Age doesnt matter, maturity does tho which usually goes hand in hand with age.
Relationships are awesome and even if they fail you will feel like you've matured and learnt so much from that experience.

relationships are worth it so long as it doesn't become a chore
religion doesn't matter
yes it matters, dating that 16 year old sandbox honey when you're hitting 20 isn't the best idea given you're at different points of your life mentally
I will start off by posting my personal views as a way to deflower this topic.
(unless someone snipes it then gg)
What I look in a man is someone I can relate to. Someone that I can stand being with for the rest of my life. Someone whose ideas do not conflict my own to an extreme. This want has led me to my belief that it would not be ideal for me to date someone who is not of the same religion or religious level as I am. For example, as a jew, I wouldn't date a christian. My main reason is this:
There are only two paths dating leads to:
1) Break up
2) Marriage
Or as my sister likes to add:
3) eternal dating
Therefore my belief is that you should date with the end in mind. If I date someone who is christian but I want to raise my kids and live my life as a jew, there would be conflict. Sure my date can say "oh I'll give up teaching my kids christianity to raise them jewish with you" that would work for maybe....the first year. It isn't easy to give up what you've taught learnt and believed in for your entire life. So the likelihood that there will be major conflict in how the married life and the life with kids would be carried out.
I know a girl whose parents broke up only because the dad wanted to become more religious. Even when they are in the same religion that little fact that one wanted to live their way in a different way than the other split them up.
So if I date someone who isn't with me and my beleif from the start I will be too emotionally invested by the time I realise its too late to end it and find someone I actually want to builda future with who actually wants to build the same future with me.
That is just a start lol. I have more.
Thoughts? rebutes? go for it

japter what would u think of a 16 yr old dating a 30 yr old
deletedover 8 years
Age doesn't matter to a point. Obviously if someone's like 50 and is dating a 15 Year old there's something wrong there.
Relationships are amazing and scary at the same time but it is a unique experience and positives outweigh negatives usually. Age doesn't matter in my opinion. I know people who has relationships with different religions and they are happy with each other, of course it doesn't have to be... I think younger than 16 is too young unless it's someone who you really understand and trust like a childhood friend.
Being in a relationship gives you new perspectives in life.
