| Met a lovely chap through my university Christian Union a couple of months ago. He's one of the friendliest guys you could imagine, quite good-looking and always really flirty with me. I've heard from mutual friends that he fancies me, but I'm honestly not sure whether to take it any further or not. Whilst I'm Christian myself I have a very "liberal" take on things (e.g. I'm pro-choice, have no problem with gay marriage etc., don't read the Bible literally). I only started going to church properly very recently and still haven't settled into one yet. My parents are both atheist and whilst they know I'm Christian they raised me to prioritise logic/reasoning and stuff which hasn't really left me. I wouldn't want it to either. This means I don't have a great many Christian friends and don't really go on Christian holidays/to events and festivals etc. like so many other people I know do. I have trouble fitting in the Christian Union. I don't get along with most strongly religious people but I do really like him. However, we're very different in how we interpret Christianity and I've actually given up with discussing certain contentious issues with him because he just won't listen - we're coming from completely different angles. He was raised in a really religious family, and his parents want him to eventually get a job doing mission work or something, whereas I'm becoming a doctor after I graduate and don't like the proselytising aspect of mission work. He's quite quiet and conservative and I'm really open-minded and opinionated. Should I let him know I like him, or does this seem like it's just not going to work out? We get along pretty well apart from our different "world views." :) P.S. Please don't turn this into a religious debate about which interpretation of Christianity is the "right" one - there's a whole separate forum for that! | |||
