Turning Point - 21 Days prior to The Meeting (Saturday 26/06/2010)
A meeting with another 'christian' - discovered via the same online dating website - who lives in the same city... Our interests don't really match, but the severe lack of single christian woman in town suggests this needs to work. To my shock - christianity to some does not mean what I believe it to be. There are simple guidelines I believe in... one seemingly to far from the secular norm being no sex before marriage. Learning that some 'christians' don't prescribe to this belief stuns me.
The following day I vent to my Auckland-based friend:
"Wow - this 'dating game' is tricky. I've just learned the extreme differences between the christian viewpoint and that of the cecular world when it comes to dating. I don't know how people can stand the pressure to get physical so quickly... I'm seriously considering giving this website up - the amount of people who say they are christian, and then after two coffees ask about 'going home together'... Aargh!...
I really enjoy our chats - if you are ever in Chch I'd be more than happy to have a coffee with you."
