Help a clueless, inept guy out?

[MaxFritz]

There's this girl at school that I see and talk to every day at lunch. She's really sweet and nice, and she might be the most beautiful girl I've ever seen on the outside too to top it all off. Plus, I'm beginning to think she really might actually like me.

It's all perfect, except for that I have no idea whether she's a Christian or not. Well, says astute reader, ask her, then. Here comes the inept part. How does one DO that? "Hey, how was your day, yeah, economics is pretty boring, so anyway, do you believe in God?". Plus, we always talk just within a group of people, it's not like we have many deep one on one conversations.

Well, says astute reader, take her out to lunch sometime. Problem there (other than that I'm a wuss) is that I really don't know the girl that well. It'd probably really be seen as going to fast and it'd seem pretty odd. What I've decided to do is just get to know each other better, eventually figure it out, and go from there.

My other problem, and other question, lies within one of the better scenarios. Let's say she likes me, and she decides she's tired of hinting and waiting for me to stop being a wuss and just asks me out. What would I do? Be like, "Hey, that'd be awesome, just one quick question...are you a Christian? Oh, no? Well, sorry, not going to work then." That'd come off really mean, but that's the general gist of what I'd have to be like, right? Because I know that no matter how nice and how beautiful a girl is, it means nothing if I can't share my spiritual life with her.

In summary:
1. Without just randomly bringing it up, do you have any good ideas of how can I figure out whether she is a Christian or not?
2. If she does like me and isn't a Christian, how do I avoid really hurting her?

Thanks in advance

"So, what'd you do on the weekend?"

"Went shopping, you?"

"Saw a movie, went to church..."
(gives her an opening to say, 'oh yeah, me too' ... which gives you an opportunity to find out if she's christian)

Howzat?

Maybe you could invite her to a church activity(if you have 'em) that way maybe you could find out if she is a christian or if she's not show her what one is.

Doooode you should br bringing up God in conversation anyway. It's the biggest part of who you are isn't it. However the best suggestion I saw was to mention that you went to church.

Get a group of people to go together to church and then have lunch at your house or a park afterwards, and invite her to come along. That's a good way to find out if she's a Christian, not be intrusive, and witness to her if she's not

Well even if she isint a Christian - maybe (if you are getting the impression she likes you) just ask her out as friends for coffee or something and spend the time talking about stuff, inevitably its gonna come up, you can share your beliefs, and whatdya know she might not be a Christian but she might be seeking?
