here's a tough one. i have been with the girl I love for a little more than 2 months now. we were thinking about a serious and long-lasting relationship, possibly leading to mariage. however, I just found out last night that she has a major problem with having as long-lasting relationship (marriage) with a "non-believer". she's known since we've met that i am an athiest. im not an "active athiest"; i dont go around shunning god or anything. i respect religions, but just don't believe in them. she said that christians are supposed to marry christians and that she doesnt know how it would work with me and her. ive tried talking to her but i dont know what to say... what in the world should i do?

this is kind of a weird situation: I have a girlfriend and we've been together for about 2 months now. we're really happy always have a good time; we love eachother. some say you can only love one person at a time, but i disagree. there's another girl; a friend i've known since middle school, and we're really close; she's told me many times that she loves me, sincerely, and i love her too; we've been through a lot. note: i never cross the line into cheating. the thing is that i want to know if i'll be happier with the friend than my current girlfriend. it may sound shallow, but before the relationship gets too serious, i want to examine the possibility. but the more i think about it, the more i dont want to because i dont want people thinking i left my girlfriend for the friend. that and i dont know if my current girlfriend will still want to be with me if things dont end up as good with the friend. the bottom line is that i love my friend more than my current girlfriend; so which do i go for: great love, or just love?

i agree with you and i want to go to the next step, but it just never feels like the right time or place. we're always at her place or my place alone and cuddled up on a couch or bed, but i always "chicken out" and think that its not the right time. i made the decision to do it. any suggestions on how to go about this? sorry im so lame

im 17 and i go to high school and college at the same time; i guess you could say im a tad bit more mature than a lot of people my age. anyways, i havent been with alot of girls, probably 3 other serious girlfriends in high school, about 5 or 6 months each. the girl i'm with right now has had a lot more "experience" than me. we've been together for about 2 months now and she wants to go farther than just making out. we both care a lot for eachother. i've never gone any farther than making out, so i guess im a little insecure and intimidated, and ive told her this and she understands that im not ready yet (this is why i know she cares about me, and vice versa). i really want to go farther and be able to share more physical things with the person i love. any suggestions on how to go about this?
