SNAP OUT OF IT!
Educate her.....if that don’t work then dump her, no sense in being “unequally yoked”.
If men and women were about equal in their lefty\rightiness, pairing like to like would be fine. But given the disparities in the real world, such like-to-like pairings are going to leave a number of lonely conservative men and lonely liberal women. Neither a pretty picture.
So if a conservative guy actually falls for a liberal gal it’s almost his duty to go for it and help to balance out the rest of who’s left out there.
Find SOMETHING conservative that she agrees with and then work from there.
Start with this one: “Should a woman be allowed to carry a fire arm to protect herself?” If yes, taker her shooting.
If no, ask her this, “Is it okay for armored truck drivers to carry guns to protect the money they are guarding?” Follow up question: “Then isn’t your life or the lives of your children worth more than a truck full of paper money? Shouldn’t a person have as much right to protect themselves and their loved ones as banks do to guard money?”
Very few liberals are 100% liberal. And those are Marxist/socialist/communists. If you can find no common ground, dump her and find a good conservative woman.
Still love her?
I dated a beautiful lady lib not too long ago. It became glaringly obvious to me that it was not going to work when she noticed that I kept a pistol hanging behind the headboard of my bed and made a few comments that I didn’t appreciate.
My advice: run, run like hell and don’t look back.
Good luck and enjoy it while you can.
I dated a liberal man for about 6 months, after that I couldnt take it anymore. He had no original thoughts, he was like little talking parrot trying to impress me with his thoughts on “world news”. It gets old real quick
What kind of liberal are we talking about? Is she a ‘Bush lied, people died, 9/11 was an inside job, guns only for my body guard and limo driver, spread the wealth of other people’ DU type or a ‘listen to NPR for my main news source’ type liberal?
Take her to the range for some fun on your way to a tea party. If she bolts, you’ll know. If she sticks with you, then there’s hope.
RUN!!
RUN LIKE HELL! And DON’T LOOK BACK!
If she’s strong in her political beliefs, she will try and change you. You can try to change her, but odds are against it. It’s kind of like being yoked together with an unbeliever...it’s not recommended.
Hey just figure out what she saw in you that she liked. She is able to rise above being political as have you. Good luck.
Any reading on her family and friends? If she is kind of a lone liberal out there, it might just be a case of needing some maturity. But if everyone in her environment is that way.... leave now and don’t look back.
I’ve been down that road - it’s a losing situation. The core values are totally different and you’ll regret the time and the pain the lib will cause you. Use your head, not your heart....trust me.
“Does anyone have any tips for being in a relationship like that?”
Sure, my wife of 35 years is a flaming liberal. Drives me crazy but we avoid political discussions. In every other way she is a perfect wife and I wouldn’t trade her for any other woman.

Time to use the old karma and dump the liberal.
If mary matlin can be married to james carville I suppose anyhting is possible
What do you mean ‘liberal?’
If she believes unborn children are human and should be as protected the day before they are born as the day after you are 33% the way there.
If you have a permit and can carry while on a date and have her smile at you then you are home free. You are 66% the way there.
If she can take responsibility for her own mistakes and honestly apoligize without blaming somebody else you are home free.
That is LIFE, LIBERTY, and the Pursuit of Happiness.
The rest of liberal nonsense can be drained out over time.
