Throughout time, the dating game has always been an adventure. Today, religion can play an important role in matchmaking within a globalised world.

Lina, Thibault and Tanya come from different backgrounds. Whether Muslim, Catholic or Jewish, each describes their dating experiences: the good, the bad and the ugly.

Some tips? Be open about your faith, while staying open-minded to someone else's.
