I'm a 21M from a minority religion in India. My name is unique, so girls usually can't guess my faith. Many times, girls show interest in me, but the moment they find out my faith, their expressions change and they start acting distant. I've faced this 4-5 times in the last two years, and it makes me lose confidence.

I don't want to sound insecure by directly saying, "I'm not from your faith, so think twice before dating me." But I'm confused-should I tell them upfront, or just let it come out naturally? And when they act distant, should I feel bad, or should I take it as a sign that I dodged a bigger problem?
