There's this Christian woman I know via Meetup. The extend of her church involvement is Sundays mostly. Her circle of friends are a variety of beliefs and so on. Some are Christian, some agnostic, some spiritual. Etc. They go out dining together and dancing after. Sometimes movies.
But when I talk to her, she does express her passion for God and Jesus Christ.
She's single, over 50, never married, no children. Very smart, etc.
I tried to ask her out or asked if she had any interest in dating and she said "To be honest, <my name>,....it's not a priority at this point as ever since her recent cancer scare (she's recovered), she's found solace in her friends, family, and interested in building her relationship with Christ." (sorry for the change up in the tenses).
Basically, she's not interested in finding anyone and just recited the aforementioned.
I didn't want to push anymore on that.
Anyways, I caught up with one of her friends at a Meetup event. Dining out, he and his friends said that she might be at that venue watching live music. I mentioned I liked her and was interested, but told him what she told me.
He said, "Um...nope...she's is indeed looking"
I was like, "really? She told me otherwise"
He goes, 'I dunno, some women just say things to be nice or let you down easily...you know how it is"
But that could have changed...big maybe though. He said he'd find out for me if she'd be interested in me though.
But yeah, I tend to get this from Christian women a lot. They use some "Godly" reason to blow you off...where as secular women, all they have to go with are the " I gotta wash my hair"
But\, personally...there's some kind bad karma attached to doing this. Yes? (Of course, that's a word that may not be appropriate for these forums. So it was written to form a context and get the point across.
