God the Good Catch
An acquaintance of mine forwarded an email from a young woman who is considering dating a man with religious convictions and I thought I would go through it because I've encountered many of the difficulties raised in it. I'll quote in full first [with names taken out]:
oh and on his profile he listed a christian woman who goes to church weekly as his ideal woman. well, i haven't been to church in years and i don't plan on going anytime in the near future.
