I freaking love this girl. She's so sweet and kind... it's hard to find someone as genuine as her, especially at 18. Plus, we're both going through the same things right now, so it's so nice to have that person to always vent to. We both really like eachother, yet I'm really worried I'm going to hurt her.

I would've said something in the beginning if I knew, yet now I'm too deep with her that I don't want to back out. A couple of weeks ago, after learning she was from Utah (thousands of miles away from here...) and the church she now goes to, I started to connect all of the dots to that she was Mormon.

What's weird is that she has never said anything directly about her beliefs, or asked me what mine were. Like ever. So maybe... it's not an issue? Plus, Mormons are really uncommon around here, so maybe her going on a dating site shows that she doesn't mind who she dates?

However, her family is really tight, and honestly I'm guessing they probably wouldn't be too thrilled that she would be dating someone that's an atheist.

I'm acting so selfish. I don't want to break her heart, but at the same time, for my benefit I can't get myself to lose her, she's literally perfect. I respect everything about her... and her being Mormon doesn't affect that one bit. I just worry that I'm hurting her in the long run by not addressing my beliefs.

Do you think she will be okay with this? Are Mormons allowed to date atheists?
