Xians often see agnostics as someone who might still be saved. After all, they're only claiming uncertainty, not disbelief. That your uncertainty was a dealbreaker for her suggests she was too hardline about her beliefs. I'm surprised this never came out in those hours and hours spent talking to each other over the phone.

I find that looking for someone on here, where you can go back & see all their posts/replies, is Very helpful! On other, actual dating sites, you have to think about, say 5-10 things that are very important to you & ASK!

The Nicene Creed said in the catholic mass has the word Apostolic in it. Some might confuse that with Agnostic.

Agnostic means Xstian Lite to most Christians.

First, so sorry for your loss. I try to have the religion discussion very early to weed those who are hardcore. I wish you luck on your journey

It is better to find this out early.

When dealing with christians, it is pretty much a given that the vast majority of them are the type of people who do not seek out any form of knowledge, definitions, clarifications, facts . . . . because if they were that interested in learning new and diverse things, they would not be christians!

Sorry for your luck.
Live and learn.
Now, you know better for next time.
Good luck going forward.

Well, you got unlucky there. She's an unaccepting person. It's not about being Christian or not.

Non-religious and Agnostic are dodge words while Atheists leave no doubt about alleged gawds, alleged vaginal virgin birthing an alleged baby gawd or other miracles......my profile on all dating sites reads : " Atheist " and still religious women like my looks or intelligence or poetry.....I tell them I am a scientist that means NEVER A BELIEVER with beliefs....I have been this way like you since age 5 hating all the lies for Santa, boy bunnies laying candy eggs on dogshit lawns and drinking blood and eating geebush jeehobah ghostholes SKIN right off a crucifix

Whoa ! before I'd make that kind of drive, I would want to know a whole lot more.

But then, I suspect you got the lesson. Sorry to hear ...

It seems you weren't entirely forthcoming either. Agnostics acknowledge that we don't know whether or not gods exist. If you don't believe in god, you are an atheist. I don't hedge on that while I am agnostic because I don't know, what I believe makes me an atheist as well.

I've met many christians who are certain that an agnostic will "come to jesus" when they are "enlightened" by a true-believer. They don't see atheists in the same light.

I have had Christians disappear in the middle of a date after I told them that I was an atheist. They never read my whole profile. Just liked my ugly mug.

So what were the conversations about? I also started a distance relationship with my late partner over the phone. I had several things that needed to be settled and the first was moving back to my home city Dallass (no way), and then vegetarian and finally atheist. She passed all 3 within the first week. I was 53 and she 47 at the time. At our age we should know what we want and what works.

There's a common bond that the two of you let override your sensibility. Your emotional needs were your focus and you tried to fill a void. Hopefully in the future, you state your belief before you make any moves. It's important.

dating sites are a learning experience if you don't have failures you aren't doing it right and you learn to ask questions about what matters to you right away and just FYI its lots harder for men than women lots of bots and fake profiles or pay sites and the site itself creates them also lots of women who don't meet or act like they are holier than thou

That is very sad. Sometimes we all believe what we want to believe. Wishing you better outcomes in the future.

Sorry to hear that!

Aww man dude. Sorry to hear that. Iys tough just to get a conversation with a girl these days. I'm sorry for that crazy disaster.

Yeah, but are you Fundamentalist Agnostic, or Easter Orthodox Agnostic?

I'm sorry. That is rough.

You should not totally beat up on yourself. It was her obligation to at least mention religion was important.

She led you on.

Meaningful connection but don’t compromise your beliefs. It will cause more pain in the future.

Sorry about the disappointment. I am a widow who had a husband who share my non beliefs an political views. It was a great marriage to truly kind man. I do understand your want for a mean

I am genuinely surprised how much of a deal breaker being a atheist appears to be. I have never even dated a atheist. My beliefs only killed a potential date once. Catholic, Buddhist, Sunni Muslim we were just fine. I think the drawback to the online dating is that it is a negotiated meeting. Hence, questions are asked, profiles reviewed the basic job interview. The women I have been with, without exception, we spent time around each other before dating/intimacy. My takeaway is differences in faith and politics are heavy subjects to overcome in the absence of actually spending time around each other. I never tried to convert a partner and neither did they.
