I dunno if someone has already started a thread about this. If so please forgive me. I have talked to a guy recently and he says he doesn't celebrate "Pagan" holidays (Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter, V-Day etc.) Would that be a dealbreaker for you to move forward with someone? For me, it took me back some because I remember having a foster parent who was a Jehovah's Witness. Didn't celebrate anything, and not only that, but she was an evil person on top of that, but that's beside the point. I like my holidays, especially Thanksgiving because I look at it as a time to be with family. Anyways, what is your take on it?
I would not date someone like a Jehovah's Witness or devout Christian; we'd be too different. If the person was an agnostic or atheist and just not into holidays, maybe on a casual level. Valentine's is lame but I'm all about masquerade parties on Halloween, so I'm partying with somebody. And who doesn't like to eat food with family? Odd. But we might be okay for an occasional date.

I'm glad I wasn't too shallow to not want to go any further. He texted me saying those thing, and when I didn't answer back, he said "Well it looks like your interest level took a nosedive"

No way, I don't think you're being shallow at all. Religious compatibility is huge, especially if you are seeking a serious relationship.

It's not shallow in the least to not want to continue a relationship with someone who doesn't find the things that are important to you important to them.
I guess it somewhat depends on the reason, but I would not mind at all. I mean someone who doesn't celebrate valentines day is cool, my husband and I decided long ago to ignore than one. The others for me are more about being with family, and if my husband wasn't comfortable or didn't want to join at those times, that wouldn't bother me. Yes my husband is also family, but he isn't birth family and I wouldn't forth him to join if he didn't want to. My current husband actually finds these things stressful, so I let him off the hook many times anyways.

I don't celebrate V-Day, Christmas and Halloween (and Easter, kinda), and I wouldn't have a problem with someone not wanting to date me because of that, nor would I find it shallow.
