Love / Polish and NON-polish... Clueless and Religious [13]

Hi, my boyfriend is polish also..and I am not..

religion seems to be a biig deal.. um.. If you do not have any opposing religion, then I dont see why not. I mean.. it will not be that easy to get baptized when you are 23 as when babies get it done..with water on the head ( catholic) . I have a friend who is 22 or 23 and for her to get baptized she has to take some classes..

so you will learn. you could also read the bible and ask yourself questions. If you believe in an afterlife and you care to be with him then you love him. Love is also understanding. I believe if you learn more about his religion, he will appreciate you more...and you will understand him...and his family better.

Good luck! Hope it helps!

Oh yeah...and trying .. and learning...is not a freaky thing...you dont have to commit right away..or at all ..if after your studies and reflections you dont agree or it doesnt move you. ( i am a teacher by the way...and i studied philosophy of religion, and i am quiet liberal.. just in case)

But why not try? Put yourself in his position.

or How would you feel if your bf tried to learn more about your culture, your family, your history, your traditions.. whatever they may be.....just to get into your head...just to understand you better,, just to show respect.. and just because there is not a strong enough reason as to why not, except for plain lazziness.. ( i say this to mr. bubbles.. knowledge doesnt hurt, what is more harmful is ignorace)

love is action, you might discover something in the search you might not, but you've got nothing to lose....but ignorance...

and i bet you would feel very special

do you speak each others language?
ciao
