strangeway Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 Yes, pretty obvious, but what feeling does the following dialogue evoke in you? What feeling do you get from him, or her? Are these merely words? Him: "Marry me" Her: "I wont marry anyone, ever." Him: "You will marry me one day. I know it. I have faith that we will be together. It was written in the books" Her: "Can you explain that please?" "What book is this"? Him: "What I mean, is that I know we will be together, God has written it in the books"
superconductor Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 It means he's nuts. Run away, and don't look back. You've got an obsessive stalker in religious clothing on your hands.

You've got an obsessive stalker in religious clothing on your hands. :laugh: . Actually, you were playing, right? He is not really religious at all. We do talk about god occasionally, because we were both raised catholic. What makes you say obsessive stalker?? Or are you playing? (its hard to tell sometimes because its not a verbal interaction)

(its hard to tell sometimes because its not a verbal interaction) If he's not religious why is he talking about God writing your destiny in a book? I'm just wondering.
superconductor Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 :laugh: . Actually, you were playing, right?Uh, actually, no. What makes you say obsessive stalker? It's almost a given that when one partner starts spewing forth stuff like, "God meant for us to be together" and whatnot, it's a huge warning sign that they will refuse to leave you alone if/when you break up because they think it's predestined. Not only will the feelings of him for you drive his obsession, his belief that your relationship was predestined by some sort of mystical "higher power" (however it's defined) is a recipe for trouble; BIG trouble.
Author strangeway Posted September 22, 2006 Author Posted September 22, 2006 Good question, blind_otter. Well, he does believe in god and so do I. But he doesnt go to church. He does pray sometimes. Actually, I talk about God way more than he does. I sometimes ask him his opinion on certain matters, but he doesnt really talk about God unless I bring him up. But, what does the dialogue say to you?
johan Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 It doesn't mean anything. He was trying to be clever or dramatic or something.

That doesn't tell you whether he's religious or not, I hate to say this. I am extrememly religious and very spiritual. But I rarely share that part of me. I'm just saying, just because he doesn't talk about God spontaneously says nothing about his devotion. But, what does the dialogue say to you? Well if it were me, I would be totally creeped out. But I've been stalked before. I mean, just the dialogue? it says to me that these two people are not on the same page.
Author strangeway Posted September 22, 2006 Author Posted September 22, 2006 See, I was kinda leaning towards what Johan said It doesn't mean anything. He was trying to be clever or dramatic or something. I was thinking that maybe he wanted me to be impressed because he knew I believed in God. You have to admit, the image sounds so magical. But I am never getting married, and he knows this. Sometimes he does say that I shouldnt say those things because I never know what will happen in the future, so I shouldnt say never. True enough. But he tells me often enough that there was a reason that I am in his life, that God put us together for a reason. I myself have had thoughts like this pertaining to life, and that doesnt make me a religious obsesser. just because he doesn't talk about God spontaneously says nothing about his devotion. Yes, thats true. But I just meant that his lifestyle does not suggest that he is overly religious. Like he is a drinker (socially) clubber, he is living up his single years to the fullest, you know, like a typical single male in his 20's. In fact, I never would have suspected he even believed in God until I started talking about it, and asked him.
