I recently had a "friend" read HPMoR, but she told me that she "skipped over the boring parts". Alas, conversion attempt failed.

I don't know if we've discussed this before, but I would find it really hard to date (or even talk to them for a long time) unless they were atheist. Thoughts? Should I be more open to dating semi-religious people?

Depends on what you want out of a relationship in the first place.

(I created that poll in response to a conflict of advice over that same question. Unfortunately, participation was too low to be very illuminating.)
