Re: I'm gonna start asking out girls for the first time ever. I'm 25.

I'm with MB. Even with fairly religious people, if they consider it a personal thing and they're cool with everyone else doing/believing what they want, it won't come up in casual conversation. If they manage to sneak it in this early, it usually means "this is a big part of my life and a semi-requirement for anyone to be close friends or have a relationship with me."

Maybe it usually does idk . First time i talked with my wife , she spoke about her religion . Of the top of my head , i can think of two 1st dates that mentioned there religion . 1 married a non religious guy , other don't know.

Either way , i doubt Klamm has any intention to become friends with her , obv. she has the wrong type of nose .

I completely agree, especially in regards to the second post. Women aren't like us in regards to physical looks. Of course it's something they obviously consider but the things listed above can far outweigh that.

You could've completely spun that into your favor. You get to go home and can text (insert girl) for a different setup. It's not like a girl would suddenly hate you because you spilled on yourself. Besides if she did then she's not worth your time anyways.

Re: I'm gonna start asking out girls for the first time ever. I'm 25.

By her bringing up the topic of church, I agree that she was fishing for a negative reaction in the hopes that she could move forward with you. By not responding negatively, you "passed" the gateway test, and so you are now on to level two. Inviting you to church immediately after is an unusual move, but a pretty sound one IMO.

Basically, she is looking for something longterm and clearly sees at least some potential in you. By inviting you to church, she is laying her values out on the table and making it 100% clear that

A) her religion is extremely important to her and
B) she won't consider a man as a partner unless he is comfortable with this, and more likely, is of the same beliefs

Some people will inevitably think this is scummy, but I like her hard line stance on dating. She is making her demands clear BEFORE getting serious, rather than ambushing you with it later on after getting her hooks too deep in you.

After my first marriage which bore me a beautiful little girl, I eventually learned to throw that piece of news out there immediately when I started dating again. After all, if a potential partner isn't comfortable or receptive to the idea of entering into a situation where she will automatically take the back seat, I want to know this now BEFORE getting too attached.

Mad respect for this woman

Re: I'm gonna start asking out girls for the first time ever. I'm 25.

I just finished the internship. We had final presentations today in an auditorium with a bunch of MD's and PhD's. It was a really grueling week. Last week probably worked 80 hours and this week probably 60. I think I've averaged 3 hours of sleep a night this week. So everyone in the program is going home. Some went home today. Others going home tomorrow. There's one last party at someone's house so I'm gonna take nap here real quick and then go out. We'll see what happens.

Btw internship is over but I got a job for at least the rest of the year as a lab tech. Gonna start my new project on monday. yay

I believe I was a virgin the last time I posted here. I've resolved this issue since then. I am willing to share my secrets with you if you want them.

Re: I'm gonna start asking out girls for the first time ever. I'm 25.

I haven't read the thread but ended up talking to random mom at the market and demanding she give my # to her daughter. my question is - should i have requested the daughter's number from the mom, or did i do fine? I was charming and made myself appear to be an optimal lover.

i suppose an alternate line would've been getting the mom's number. she wouldn't have been risk punting off the chances with the daughter if she got creeped out though.
