I'm 16, and a guy, and my friend is 17 and a girl, and she's a neo-pagan, while I'm Muslim.... I've been thinking about her romantically for awhile, but I feel like she may consider me a bore, since I would never drink, never gamble, never be alone with her, and never have sex with her outside of marriage.... would she EVER like me?
The odds are stacked against you, my friend. That said, I obviously don't know either of you so we're working on guesses and limited information here. Basically, if her interests conflict with yours, like if she is really into drinking, romantic time alone with a BF, wants to be romantically-involved with her partner, maybe she likes to sneak into the casino, well... in any of those cases there's not much in it for her so she probably won't go for it.
Basically, you're 16, so no matter how in love you end up being with pretty much anybody, you're probably going to grow out of it and end up with someone else later down the line. Enjoy teenage romance as much as you're allowed but, if you can, try to see it as a learning experience and not as trying to find a serious partner for life.
