^Ugh, I really don't like it when girls hide who they like. Because it's near darn impossible to know whether they have an interest in you. I usually have to lie to myself and other that I don't like someone if I do like someone...does that make any sense?

lol I'm a real master in hiding my feelings, for me it does make sense... but it's hard to explain it... I hide it because I'm not sure what will happen afterwards, I'm afraid to be hurt. That's the only reason I can think of...

As for me, I'm scared that the girl will hate me if she finds out that I like her as well, something more than a friend. I had that happen before, twice, actually. So now, I try not to like a girl too much until I know how to handle it.

I don't think girls will hate you for your feelings, Canion. The worst they could do is just not to return the feelings, or just ignore it and say 'Hey, it's your problem'. But I don't think most girls would do that last thing, at least I don't know many of such kind.

It's natural for one to hide their feelings. Like Erana said, it's just too scary. Showing your true feelings about someone lets all of your barriers down and leaves you very vulnerable. And it's not always safe. People could turn you down for it, but maybe not.

Vulnerable? What do you mean, vulnerable? Or is this something that is none of my business.

Vunerable, hmm, well it means like that your feelings are exposed. You feel like an open book and a lot of times girls want to have their feeling hidden, that's why were so mysterious :-P. Yeah, its not a good feeling stepping out of your barriers, girls aren't as brave as guys in that area normally. If that helps at all lol

Ugh...girls are incredibly confusing. I bet girls say the same thing about guys though.

I have an interesting question for you girls. The majority of you, I think, are Christians or believe in a god of some sort. And say, a guy comes into your life. He is charming, intelligent, quite well-mannered. In fact, he is your perfect guy except for one thing: he is an atheist. He doesn't believe there is God and lives life as if He doesn't exist. But he doesn't mind theists. For the purpose of this, let's say both of you are of marrying age. After a while, in which the guy knows you a lot more and vice versa, he asks your hand in marriage. Would you accept it?

Well... I can't speak for all girls, but for me personally religion is not that important, and never more important than marrying the man I love! So I would accept...
A relationship where both love each other truly should get over this religion conflict or don't even have any problems with it, otherwhise I'm not sure if this is true love!

Religion really isn't allowed int his forum at all, but trust me, I'd explain my reasoning if I could.
My answer to your question, Caunion:

God has got to come first in his life, or I won't even consider him.

This doesn't mean that I won't hang out with guys [or anyone] that isn't a Christian, but I won't be having a relationship with him. I believe that God has a guy already planned for me, so I don't worry about it at all.

Wow, good question Caunion!

As a Christian girl, religion is so important to me. As Gwen said, God totaly must comes first in the guys life. No other option. I also know that God has my future planned out for me, so I don't have to worry 'bout it. :) Not of course, that I won't ever like anyone untill I'm sure he's the one God has for me, but if God has me marry an athiest, well, He'll just have to get the guy saved first! :p

On a more serious side of things, I think that if you do marry someone who is not the same religion as you are, say a Christian marrys a Muslim, or a Jew a Christian, there are going to be problems. At some point there are going to be conflicts in the relationship because of differing beliefs.

It's not about true love or anything like that, It's about convictions - what people are willing to bend on religionwise, and not many Christians are going to celebrate Ramadan.

So yeah, be careful if you have differing beliefs. It will cause probs.

In answer to your question though, no I wouldn't accept a proposal....

Hehe, and yes, us girls do think you guys are confusing too.... :p

^Right. I think it just depends on how much your religion means to you. Like for me, Christianity isn't even a religion for me, but a way of life, and it affects every single area of my life. I don't want my husband being a hindrance to my relationship with Christ by getting in the way of that.

Does that make any sense, Caunion?

Good idea, Kit. I apologize for that. I was merely curious. It makes some sense to me. In the meantime, do we have another topic to discuss?

Just one more quick response to what Caunion asked-

I've seen many a good relationship and marriage end because of a falling out over religion. [Not necessarily atheism and Christianity.] But then again I've seen marriages and relationships that have only become stronger because of these differences. Personally, God comes first and foremost for me and if I have to sacrifice all I believe for just one man I don't think it's worth it. As Gwen said, He has a plan for me and it probably won't include that particular man.

Okay... changing the subject now.
