Lunch Dates

I just came back fromo a wonderful lunch and coffee date with my friend from an old hebrew class. We talked about our lives as Jews and our future and it was refreshing to see another Jewish person so proud to be who she is and still be relaxed about her surroundings. We both have agreed that marrying someone Jewish is really the only option because they'll keep tradition, and they understand dietary restriction and shabbos and all other holidays. I've never actually dated anyone that is Jewish, but quickly realizing it'd be more convenient and won't have to worry about raising the children any differently than both of us.
