I'm hoping people on here will give me an honest answer to something. Please speak your mind, don't worry about offending me or anything!
Basically I'm Jewish, but not particularly religious. I believe it I suppose, but I don't strictly follow it. I mean I'm not going to win Rabbi of the year lol.
I've had a couple of girls now that I've asked out, and they've said no. Both said the same thing (I like you but I'm not sure I feel that way about you).
I'm just wondering if the Jewish thing is putting them off. I get the impression when I tell people that I'm Jewish that they think that means I come from a really strict family. I've had people online ask if it means I'm not allowed to have girlfriends or drink alcohol, or go to parties. They seem to think that if you follow a religion other than Christianity it means you're some sort of devout pilgrim. There are just as many half arsed Jews as there are half arsed Christians.
I'm just a normal lad, going to a normal school, I like football, play Cricket, like beer whenever I can lol.
I understand why they wouldn't want to go out with me if they thought I came from a strict family, because even I wouldn't want to go out with someone from a religious family.
Would it put you off? If someone told you they were Jewish would it make you think they were very religious and wouldn't be fun?
