Welcome to the world of people obsessed with our religion - an old friend of mine used to say we were another species, homo religiosis. I warn you, it can get even more consuming than it already is. :)
As for dating people... ever since this became my life, I have been unable to conceive of seriously dating someone who wasn't at least polytheist. I've been with a Celtic Recon, an Asatruar, and now a Greco-Egyptian syncreticist. All of those paths were enough like my own to make working together spiritually possible. I know it limits my options - but personally I know that other things about me limit my options anyway. Still, it would be a deal-breaker for me, because my religion IS who I am, it's what I do, and it comes first. Someone would have to really understand that. But I don't deny it's a tricky position to be in.
