JoeNewbie Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 I had dinner with an old friend I hadn't seen in many years. Conversation was flowing, good eye contact, nice smiles, she touched my hand, etc. She wants to hang out again later this week and suggested we go to concerts together. Everything seems good, right? Well, here's the catch... She kept talking about her faith, challenging me on my views and asking me to reconsider. I've always been agnostic and I'm way too old to change. I deeply believe that the only valid answer is "I don't know". What do you think of my situation?
Star Gazer Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 I think she's interested, but that your faith (or lack thereof?) might be too large of an obstacle for her long term, hence why she's eager to get you to "come to the light."
Lucky_One Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 I have no idea. Personally, I would ask her out again, and see how it goes. If you get uncomfortable, talk to her about that aspect of your faith/nonfaith, and see what her response is.
carhill Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 What do you think of my situation? Kinda deep to get into religion and philosophy for a first dinner in many years. One would think family, children, travel, humor and other such topics would be more appropriate. I smell purposeful agenda. I recall on of our reps getting real friendly right before she left for other employment and later tried to use that friendship to sell me products from her new employer (this was in the financial industry). She fooled me, for awhile

I told her she'd hit a brickwall trying to persuade me, that I'm too much of a perv to ever see the light. I guess I've now become a challenge...

carhill Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 Well, if you're looking for a mental sparring distraction, it looks like you found one
Author JoeNewbie Posted September 23, 2008 Author Posted September 23, 2008 I'm having a real kick out of this. I've known her from way before her "conversion" and she was a big flirt, very touchy feely. The devil in me really enjoys flirting and talking about sex with someone who supposedly has become pure and for whom sex is now a way to procreate... Everytime she talks about religion, I'll bring up some hot steamy sex topic on the table!
Lucky_One Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 So did she say sex was just to procreate? Or that sex should be within the bounds of marriage only? Like you, I am agnostic, but I have a friend who is really into her religious beliefs. Granted, she is married, but apparently she and her H screw like bunnies. She maintains that God likes it when we have healthy sex lives, that she is celebrating what He gave her!

She says sex was just to procreate in the sense that she no longer indulges in casual sex and believes that gay sex is not entirely kosher. But I could tell from the way she touched me that the natural flirter is not very far behind Ms. Pure. This is the next best thing to getting a nun all wet in her panties!
