How long into a relationship do you ask someone to church?

I've been talking to someone for a little while and we have had one date and plan to have a second date this Saturday. I was thinking about her and I and thought it would be nice to some day go to church with her. We are both Christian, or at least consider ourselves so. When should I ask her to go to church?

This does come with a grain of salt, fair warning, but the most successful relationships I have ever had came from me asking her to attend my church as the first date, and the second date, me attending her church. (keep in mind I am single at the moment, so that does speak enough for itself)

Congrats, totage!

I bet she's a real doll!

Visiting a new Church is a personal venture even if it is someone else who offers the invitation.

Sounds like a good idea.

Be sure the environment is receptive for her if you're doing the inviting.

Just don't push!

After she comfortably says "yes",
it may be helpful if you tell your church friends or family ahead of time to help her feel welcomed.

(Almost like going to a family gathering.)

TY, she is. We've been talking daily for a while. Can't wait to see her again tomorrow.

She is about an hour away, so I was thinking of finding a church that is between us or even finding a church in her area.

We'll see though. I don't want to rush things. I do like how and where things are going so far though.

Oh...ok sounds good.

Give her a rose for a bookmark,
the first day you two go there.




(small suggestion)

That's a good idea.

Her favorite flower is carnation. She does like getting flowers too. Which is good because I like sending flowers. :)

You're just that kinda guy, totage!

Anytime is a good time to ask her to Church. If you have only had one date, it gives you something to do that doesn't have any downsides.

When I was in high school, my dad suggested that I go to girls' Churches who I dated as a way to learn about different perspectives. I went to Catholic, Methodist, Baptist, Episcopalian, and maybe some I forgot. I don't remember any downsides at all. It was a cheap date. The parents liked it. The girls liked it. I liked it. I learned a little. Things seemed a little more relaxed afterward.

I might suggest in retrospect picking a Church neither of you have ever been to before. It will give you something to talk about.

Well, I wouldn't consider it a date if we went, but yes it would give us something to talk about afterward and could lead to maybe lunch or dinner after.

I was thinking it would just be nice to spend time with her and be in church, studying the Bible together, etc.

I think it could turn out to be a great 2-part date.

Church and dinner.

She may see it as a responsible and respectful gesture on your part.


Would be a lot more sobering
than a nightclub or a bar.

Ha Ha. Don't kid yourself. If you show up together to be together, it's a date.

I meant the church part would be more for spiritual purposes than romantic purposes.

Yeah, we're both over the bars/nightclubs.

Flowers!! So thats what Ive been doing wrong,I thought it was just my personality,chicks dig flowers,gonna try it,thanks.I should try roses,dont know bout the guns though

thought about this one for a bit,,,and I remembered,

the most MEMORABLE and positively charming and enjoyable first date I ever went on was with someone who 'slipped in' a visit his brother at a church ball game,,,,

we did the usual dinner and a movie after too,,,I started off thinking very highly of him from that moment on and never came back down,,,

I always check first, some are allergic to flowers, some don't care for them, but the point is they like to know you're thinking of them. Flowers are just one way to let them know that.

That does sound enjoyable.
