Am I too religious to be in a relationship?

[Anonymous]

Hi Friends,


I am a gay guy and single. I have never been in a relationship before.

I am following a faith whereby I spend around 1 hour in prayers every day in the morning.

I have a prayer altar in my home and my prayers consist of reciting verses from the scriptures, offering flowers, lighting lamps etc.

I really enjoy performing my daily prayers and I find some comfort and solace from it.

I wear a sacred mark on my forehead daily as part of my faith.

There are some festival days whereby I will perform some rituals and offerings on those days.

I also go to the place of worship once a week and it takes around 1 to 2 hrs.


Here is the thing. Do I seem as too religious?

Because, I noticed that many people in the LGBT community are atheists and many of them put on their dating profiles that they don't prefer dates who are too religious.

I am concerned that I will not be able to find a boyfriend because I might be seen as too religious.

I'm okay with waking up earlier than my future boyfriend and quickly finish my prayers before he wakes up. 

I'm just worried that my religious practices will put me in disadvantage in finding a boyfriend.

Will you be okay to be in a relationship with a religious guy like me?


Looking forward to your opinions.
