I met a girl a month and a half ago, we've started to become good friends and I think there could be something more. However, she is from a different religion than mine. Could a relationship still work?

It depends how important your religion is to you. If it is not, than it doesn't matter what her religion is. If yours is important, then you need to make some decisions about what the differences are between the two beliefs. They will, in the long run, either bring you closer together, or make it difficult to continue.

Probably not. Allow me to explain. Short-term: Yes it could definitely work and if you and her really "click: and find enjoyment in one another you can find happiness for a long time. Long-term: probably not. Even if you are passive about your religion, maybe later you will get further into it. MORE LIKELY, IF YOU HAVE CHILDREN WHAT RELIGION WOULD YOU WANT THEM TO BE? That becomes the real issue. You're willing to make exceptions for yourself or your wife but if you're a decent parent you'll want the best for your kids, including the "best" religion. Also most religions come with consequences and do you really want your partner or possibly your kids to suffer them. Also, your families will probably look down upon it. However, if you really don't care about your religion then none of this really has any effect. I'm not saying that it won't work. I'm just saying that the odds are against you.

Yes, it can still work. However, you might be careful about dating someone from aonther religion; especially, if it's NOT Christian. If you're a Christian and you're dating someone from another religion, then it's highly possible that his or her religious beliefs could mar and lead you away from Christianity.
