I don't see anything wrong (not the best term to use) with dating someone whose company you enjoy. If nothing serious develops, the worst that would happen is you've met a person with different views that can open and expand your thinking. Actually, that's possibly the best argument to continue seeing this man.
What "IF" does come to mind though because love springs from some unlikely places.

Suppose you two do fall head over heels for each other, there would be some really bumpy roads ahead of you. I'm sure you know this by the way you phrased your post. As long as you BOTH know where you stand, the risk of hurt diminishes. Yet,
one of you will feel more deeply connected than the other. I would just suggest that no "exclusive" clause exist in this relationship. Depending on your age and goals-marriage in your future-if you know in your heart it could not work, keep it more on the companionship side. I bet many would say that's unfair at most, difficult at least.

Wanting a relationship with someone of your own faith is not "mean". It's sensible. People from Dear Abby to Dr. Laura
stress the importance of same faith marriages for too many reasons to mention. My own daughter would prefer to marry a Catholic. (I'm just hoping she finds a good man who shares her
values and basic ideology.)

Good luck to you! I'm interested to hear how our fellow GCers feel on this issue. Too bad it's an "issue".
