I displayed five Lego models at a small event on Sunday. The event was held at a church hall on the other side of town, about an hour away. A woman asked me to attend the event while I displayed at Brickfest. She was cute and close to my age, so I agreed. We exchanged a few emails between that first brief meeting and Sunday night. I will call her Ray for the sake of the narrative.
Ray is friendly and personable. I feel a sense of attraction when I am around her, which makes me feel awkward. Ray even insisted on hugging me when we said goodbye after the show.
This is her last email to me.

I'm grateful for you. You made the event more interesting, and it was nice to see you. I remember when I asked you if you were interested in sharing anything spiritual, you said no, but please know that you are welcome to our church anytime -- it might be the start of growing deeper in your faith. I'm glad you sensed the kindness of the church folks. I started going there 3 years ago and it has been good for me.
Here's a link to service online (removed)
If you'd like to check out a service in person, we start at 10 on Sunday.
Thanks for the links to Bible Bricks. That's exactly what I saw. I couldn't remember where I saw it, maybe just searching in preparation for this week. Maybe we can use those videos next year.
I hope our paths cross again someday.😊

I like her. She seems like a very nice and outgoing person. Maybe that is just who she is with everyone. I have her phone number and email. I am unsure if I am just reading more into her actions, but I am considering asking her out. The problem is I am not religious. I was raised Catholic, but now I am agnostic at best. I feel that the Catholic religious teachings are good for people and society. I am just not sure there is a God behind it all.
What do you think? Am I seeing more than just someone being friendly? Should I ask her out?
She's being friendly and trying to pull you into her church. I don't think it's anything more than that, but if you are interested, you might as well ask her out. It wouldn't hurt.
ReplyDeleteI hope it isn't that. It doesn't feel overtly like that.
DeleteYou think you're seeing romance, while she's seeing a soul in need of redeeming. "If you'd like to check out a service in person," is a come-on for Jesus.
ReplyDeleteI don't need redeeming. I am happy with the way I am. I hope it isn't just a way to expand their membership.
DeleteOh, and let me know if you want to take a look at the first chapter of The Body in History.
ReplyDeleteSure I can take a look. This is the first I am hearing of the new title.
DeleteThere might be a bit of both going on. Ask her out and see what happens.
ReplyDeleteI am going to.
DeleteWhy not.
ReplyDeleteIt can't hurt to ask.
DeleteBible bricks sounds fascinating. She wants to recruit you to her church. If you are not intrested in christianity i would tell her straight away.
ReplyDeleteShe's married. She doesn't wear a ring.
