A. I would say Honesty, Respect, Integrity, Confidence and Balance. I need all these and more. Just to name a few.
Q. Would you date someone who has different beliefs and/or religion from you?
A. I would say it depends on the person and religion. Some people can talk about their faith and see the different points of life. Others can take it disrespectfully and it can cause a lot of issues in a relationship. It’s good to know ahead of time and to talk about these things before getting in a relationship.
