Yeah, Im not looking for a relationship based on sex. I want to have good clean fun, and really get to know him. :) His smile makes me melt but its one of those 5th grade school crush feelings. Its not lustful at all at this point.

its very normal

I dont have to be religious, I feel like I need to respect his beliefs but I dont feel obligated to hurry up and go to church, I believe in god and thats enough for me, if its not for him then thats fine and ... everything happens for a reason

True , only change your life and go to church if you wanna start a relationship with him . cause if you start a relationship , but dont wanna go to church with him all the time then the relationship wont last very long ..

I dont agree with you at all, I understand your thoughts, but I dont see how me not going to church with him has anything to do with a commitment to each other. If you have a connection to god then its a wonderful, PERSONAL experience. It shouldnt determine whether you like someone or not and it shouldnt determine whether or not you want to be with someone. I think if you have enough respect for each other then you can understand boundries and understand reasons for your life styles

You Don't Need Church, thats a Bunch of BS if you have Faith in Whatever that You Two Share thats Good Enough! He Might Realize he Don't Need Church Who Knows.

thanks for your response lol, finally some one gets it hah

I dated a Satanist once. Me being a believer in God myself, I was open to accepting her ways....up until the night she wanted me to go help her find a cat so she could sacrifice it to her Lord. That ended it for me.

Oh. She was sooo not a virgin, so I guess this doesn't help you much. But damn, at least you get a laugh out of it.....well maybe you will.

I'm Not Particularly Fond of Christians, I've Befriended one on here whose Not Pushy But most are, and every Chance they get to Push Towards Church They do with Extreme Liberties.

haha wow that satanist story was so wierd! You should write me an e-mail with a short history bio of your life... sounds crazy!

i understand where ur comming from too , but its like me and my ex-wife were married for 16 years. but it only came to a end cause she's hisp and im white . her family dont like white people at all so she had to decide between me and her family , she picked her family cause she didnt wanna lose them ..understand ? i know its not the same , but in some ways it is ..

In what terms do you mean "Pushy"?

well guys i have studied the bible on and off most of my life and im 44 but right now in my life i consider myself spiritual but not religious. but comeing from a religious point of view the bible says you need to be equaly yoked so this subject you need to talk to him personaly about and see were he stands on the subject. most religious people put god first so you need to have a comon ground. the same likes when it comes to god. of coarse he will respect your own opinions but he most likely or almost any relegious person will not compromise with you when i comes to god and religion. thats my opinon michael

You want a bibliography with that too?

Meaning Constantly Talking About the Teachings of Jesus Christ even Though I tell them I don't Care they Still go on and on and on Like A broken Record! and Muslims and Krishnas are the Same Way.

Well Written!

enjoy, I'm Out Goodnite all

you know i agree, like i was saying earlier i have studied religion on and off most of my life, and when i was on fire for god i did the same thing. i have found out from expierience when your just a true friend and show respect to them and not talking about jesus all the time you get alot more positive reactyion from people. when people use to preasure me and after i briefly became religios and didthat people just run from u and hide cause your not showing love or being a friend your just forceing your opinions on someone else! i lernt to show and not just talk.

michael

It sounds like you're approaching this with logic and maturity, and as long as he does the same, there's no reason not to explore your connection, right? I'd just talk to him and make sure he's open to your level of religious belief and not going to disrespect you by trying to bring you over to his way of thinking (or church-going, or whatever). As long as you two can respect where each of you is coming from, it's all good.

Also, no one is "normal". It's a pretty useless description.

my problem has traditionally been that i am religiously sexual!
