Is it normal to reject a guy because he is mormon?

So a couple months ago I met this really good looking guy on Facebook. We started talking, and he was hitting on me like crazy, so we decided to go out. He is super gentlemanly, holds the door for me, walks me to the car, hugs me goodbye, etc. But I found out the reason he seems so nice and decent is that he's a mormon. Once I brought it up, I discovered he is a super good mormon who goes to church all the time, dresses modestly, believes in temple marriages, and saving sex for marriage, and prophets, and the priesthood, holy garments, and all manner of weird stuff. Now, I was raised Christian, and Christianity doesn't bother me, but this weirdness does. I have found myself cold shouldering him after I found out, but I feel bad because he is such a decent guy, and obviously likes me a lot. He is constantly complimenting me, and trying to make me feel special. He is very caring and kind, and I don't know if it is right to reject him just because of his religion, but that really is what I feel like doing! Help!

    As if a non-Mormon couldn't be nice and decent.

      Sorry, I didn't mean that. Of course there are nice decent non-mormons out there, and I hope to find one soon. :)

    If he's not your type then reject him in a nice manner instead of giving him the cold shoulder.

    As long as he doesn't try to change your Christian faith and you think he is worth the extra work of being married to someone you can't openly share your faith with. There's nothing wrong with being married to a non-believer. Just know that it is going to be a direct challenge to your faith in your own home. Acknowledge the possibility that you may not be in heaven together since your beliefs are different.

        Point taken. I just meant if the form of worship becomes a point of contention in the relationship that affects her faith.

        I may be off, but it is my understanding that Mormons believe in different levels of heaven and that only the Mormon faith baptized in the Church of Latter Day Saints will get into the highest level of heaven. Although I find that slightly un-Christian it is not my call and God can figure that one out.

    Huh, I read "moron" first...

    It's normal, by the way.

    How rude. You could tell him the truth but he will definitely be hurt by it. So, break it to him gently.

    Ask him if he is willing to change for you? Many people do, for the love of another
