How do I tell him I'm not Jewish?

[DarkHelmet82]

So your two boring internet modes are arguing with the regulars when you are obviously wrong, and whinging about your ex and your poorly titrated antidepressant meds. Okay, got it. Whatever helps your lack of self-esteem, Dark.

Thats the difference between you and I. I don't insult people to make myself feel better, where you obviously get a giant woody from it. Also I have contributed to this forum in my short time here than you have in the entire time you have been on here. So because I take medication and was depressed that makes me a bad person? Does that make me wrong? It actually just makes you look insensitive and idiotic. So because my opinion differs from yours, I must be wrong? Who's the idiot now?

Okay, I'm insensitive and idiotic. Thank you for pointing it out Dark.

Can't we all just get along?

Here's an olive branch ...

... for you to beat each other with.

There's nothing like a good piece of hickory...

A lot of good olive oil comes from Israel.

That was the inspiration behind the comment.

No, no, no, a switch from a weeping willow tree.

Down boy. We know you roll like that.

Hahaha, and what is [that] supposed to mean?

Thank you everyone for your responses. I did talk to him and it didn't go too badly, but not too well either. I finally got up the courage and said to him "there's something I want to tell you. I don't actually consider myself Jewish and do not practice Judaism." Then, I explained my position on religion and how I am spiritual, but do not want to be part of a religion. He seemed a tad shocked and worried. He told me straight up that it is important that the girl he dates be Jewish and he doesn't know if he can consider me Jewish based on what I said. He ended our date shortly after and told me he needs to think about what I said to him. He also said that he really likes me, but what I said "changes the game" for him. He promised to call me in a few days with his "decision."

Frankly, I am kind of hurt. I figured this might happen, but to hear it was a completely different thing all together. I really like him and he has a lot of the qualities I was looking for in a guy. I guess I'll just wait to see what he said. Still, it is painful to know that his feelings are apparently not enough.

He also said that he really likes me, but what I said "changes the game" for him. He promised to call me in a few days with his "decision."

Just to be sure, if his decision is to still see you, make sure it's not with the intentions of doing you while he searches for a "real jew." I know a jewish guy that is such a cad. He'll date anyone and he'll have sex with them if they are willing but he would NEVER marry anyone but "his chosen Jewish Princess." His words, not mine.

Personally, His not immediately accepting you and by him confessing that the new knowledge "changes the game" while telling you how important his religion is to him would be a red flag to me. He's practically told you that you're not marriage material to him.

Eh, most people differentiate between who they would date casually, and who they would marry. At least THIS guy is honest about it (same goes for the original poster of this thread)... most men wouldn't be.

[Wakeup]

He's not honest to the women he dates. He's just told my hubby and me that. I said the guy was a "cad." *He fishes for woman who are looking for a relationship and lies to them about his intentions.
I don't think that a whole lot of men would be getting a whole lot of laid if they actually came out and told a woman she was good to **** but don't be silly, I'd never marry you.

I wouldn't date someone that I didn't see as possible long term relationship material. (I'd never marry again if something ever happens to end my current marriage).

of course not.... you illustrated my point. But just because men don't say it, that doesn't mean they aren't thinking it.

really? hmm. I would.

Anything that has a penis, really. Regardless of whether or not the pubes have Jew-curls.
