Either way, it's hardly likely that a church group is full of non-religious girls looking for a non-religious man.

Such a brat DB, going to extremes to try to make a point.
Even if someone isn't religious to the point of being a "fruitcake" the chances of finding someone who is religious enough for it to be an issue when one is not religious is heightened by meeting them at church, no?
Of course, some do enjoy lively "debates" so a pairing of one religious together with one non-religious may work out to their mutual enjoyment anyhow. | The following 2 users would like to thank Peg A for this useful post: | |

| | Re: Speed-dating - thoughts?
Quite a few years ago I had a summer romance with a Christian girl.
We were snogging and things were getting hotter and heavier . . .
. . . suddenly she broke off, as if something had suddenly occurred to her . . .
"Do you believe in the Devil?", she tremulously inquired.

Not as far as I know...
If you've kept track of what I've said though (I don't blame you if you haven't, after all, I don't track your posts either  ), I said that you never know who you may meet at activities you enjoy who may know someone you could get to know better.
So, you enjoy cooking / eating / discussing food and dining and make friends with some folks from a group like The Grub Club. You (omg, the thought of it!!) socialize with some of them at other activities and maybe get introduced to someone you otherwise may never have met.
You start out with something in common... friendship with someone else with whom you both enjoy socializing. Piece of cake. |

With a quick turn of the head to conceal the flash of crimson that glowed briefly in his dark, inky eyes, he smiled with what some would cound consider a sneer, and answered: "The Devil? Pure fantasy my dear, now lets see about unbuttoning that blouse shall we...?".

a) Doesn't mean you are the devil
b) doesn't literally mean you have horns...

Water under the bridge now (this was twenty years ago). Plenty of fun though.

(Mind, in the interests of full disclosure, I must confess that I did once go out with a girl who would ring her priest each morning to describe what we'd done the night before in order to find out if we'd committed a mortal sin or a mere venal sin... poor chap! He must have got through boxes and boxes of Kleenex!)

| | Re: Speed-dating - thoughts? | Quote: |  | | | I was advised to join a church when I first moved here, and I, too, sneered at the suggestion. Just shows how much of a bigot I was, really.  | | | | | i'm too vain for that anyway - i couldn't date a girl that loved god more than me
and too jealous too. i mean, i wouldn't like her to cry somebody else's name during an amorous tryst even if it is "oh, god!".
which reminds me:
so we covered what a religious orgasm sounds like, but what does a positive orgasm sound like? "oh, yes, oh, yes, oh, yes"
what does a negative orgasm sound like? "oh, no, oh, no, oh, no"
what does a fake orgasm sound like? "oh, derv, oh, derv, oh, derv"

A friend of mine took part in speed dating a few times and has raved about how much of a good time she had. So even if you don't meet anyone, it's a good laugh!

| | Re: Speed-dating - thoughts? | Quote: | |  | | | | | | | | Uhm, what? Hahahaha.....I feel so bad, cmon, don't rub it in, what kind of moron would tell you that? 
I was talking of a few folks I know who did rave about it but had certain hermit dispositions prior actually forcing themselves to come out and be with us, normals...A heureka moment, you know, "I can talk to chicks, there is nothing wrong with me..." Some need speed dating for that, some don't. But according to them, there are very many shy people who paricipate to get over some initial troubles. But that was a dif country, too. | Quote: |  | | | I wouldn't put money on that, you know.  | | | | | It is true. I sang in a non religious choir, bunch of religious classical pieces with bunch of religious fellow singers in many churches and cathedrals. We all had fun and didn't feel like disputing god and religion all the time. Sometimes we did, it was lovely to exchange very different views. I wouldn't rule out church activities at all, in the past I found the crowd as likely to be interesting and date material as anywhere else. Sounds uncool, but whatever...
