AstroZombie138 Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 For more background read up on my posts in this thread... http://www.loveshack.org/forums/t275723/ So things pretty much ended tonight with this girl I've been seeing the past 3 weeks. Normally, I wouldn't sweat something like this too hard but I really felt there was something there with her. She'd been inviting me to her Christian Bible Study Group but knew I was agnostic. I told her that I was curious to see what it was about (which was true) and that I might go some time. I eventually went on Sunday and while there was nothing too out of the ordinary for the most part, at one point one of the people was called upon to "speak in tongues". Overall, I felt awkward (and downright uncomfortable during the speaking in tongues segment) and didn't feel like I'd go back to another one. She and I met tonight because I had lent her my car. I was going to wait until later in the week to tell her how I felt but she invited me to another "Fellowship" on Wednesday. Her response was that she didn't see herself ultimately ending up with someone who wasn't Christian. While I guess that means we could still hang out we'd still be hamstrung by our difference in beliefs. I sent her this e-mail which I think pretty much puts kebosh on our relationship: ****, I just wanted to let you know that the past few weeks knowing you have been fantastic and I wouldn't trade them for anything. I can't imagine ever lending my car to someone I only knew 2 weeks (and some change)... except to someone as sweet and genuine as yourself. A week ago I never would have thought our first kiss would also be our last as I feel like things were just getting started between us. All along though (since we spoke on the phone that first weekend we met), I wondered in the back of my mind if our differences in beliefs/faith would be a sticking point. Sunday night I knew telling you that your faith is so far removed from what I believe might make or break the early stages of what I was hoping would develop into a relationship (apologies if that sounds a bit premature but you're definitely a girl I was thinking of as relationship material). As I mentioned on our walk tonight, I didn't want to be just going through the motions with your Fellowship as that wouldn't have been fair to either one of us. While I'll always think of you as someone special (and with no negative connotations whatsoever), for now I may have trouble being "just friends" with you. I'm not sure what your thoughts/feelings on all of this are--or even if you have a response to this message. If I ever do find God or Christ in my life, you'll be one of the first people I'll call! Take care with love, ****-- [sIZE=1]and not without a tear while typing this--told you tonight I felt sad [/sIZE] [COLOR=#cc0000]@[COLOR=#009900]}~~>>~~~ [COLOR=#000000] (I always loved making these, no matter how cheesy!)[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR]
Kari Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 Aww, I'm sorry that it didn't work out due to different beliefs. It's sweet how you were able to end on amicable terms. She may not be the one for you right now, but don't give up on finding other great connections in the future.
