The fact that a guy's a Pisces and serious about his Judaism's an unfair reason to reject him, right?


This question makes a lot more sense if you know certain details about my romantic history.

ETA-
I like Jews. The only reason it made me pause was that the fact that I'm not Jewish was one of the major reasons that Gabe and I broke up.
And Ashley was a Pisces¹. So I was being mildly silly what with neither of those actually good reasons to reject someone.

1. Kristin is also a Pisces. And they had certain qualities in common that are not necessarily qualities I find desirable in a mate.

What does serious mean? If he is willing to date outside of his religion, perhaps he is not as serious as he claims he is. I don't think this means you are rejecting him because he is Jewish, but rather because he is unavailable to you in terms of what you are looking for. Personally, though, if everything else looks interesting, I'd go for it.

Being a Pisces is meaningless. With Judaism, how does it effect you? As the previous poster said, is your not being a Jew a big deal to him? Does it directly cause him to live his life in ways that you can't deal with (for example, is he kosher to the point of being annoying for you to eat with)? Does it cause ideological differences between the two of you that will make the relationship more work than you think it is worth? Or are you just judging him based on past experience with Jews?

religious discrimination in romance is okay, but once you go jew, you never go back.

lol. Yeah, I guess I'm just saying, there's lots of perfectly good reasons why someone might not want to date someone with a strong faith different from their own. But it's a little unfair to write off a whole religion based on one person. On the other hand, anticipating religion-based issues that came up with the first person to also come up with another is reasonable. It's just nice to check rather than assume. Anyway, Ev, I kinda figured you were being silly, but I gave you a serious answer anyway. :-P
