Too religious?
There is a woman I work with every so often that I find very attractive, cute, and fun. We've definitely flirted back and forth several times, and I was just about at the point of asking her out on a date (gasp! I know).
One night after a job, she asked to borrow a special tool I have (insert sexual jokes here) for a job the next day. I didn't have it in my car, but told her to follow me to my place to get it. No, no, this did not end up in the Bow-Chica-Wow-Wow. So, I gave her my number, in case she had any trouble with it (and because it was a way to give her my number), and she gave me hers... along with some fliers for a church. Wha??? Umm, okay?! Well, maybe she volunteers there, or she goes to the church and is interested in bringing new people in. Okay. A bit forward off the bat, but that's okay.
Then, the other day, we were both running spot lights for a show (that will be on NBC during the holidays), and it was kind of a simple job, so I was texting her. We got on the subject of religion, and I never thought I'd ever get the txt of: "Jesus is the Way, the Truth, the Light. He must be in you".
Now, I try not to harp on anyone's religion. I pretty much have no problem, as long as you don't hate on other people for their beliefs. However, anyone who is EXTREME in any direction kind of worries me. Maybe it is the Libra in me, requiring a balance of things, and an EXTREME belief system doesn't jive well with that.
I thought, maybe I was over-reacting and I should just look past this. However, it was a rather large red flag for me, and the last time I ignored large red flags, I got hurt. So why set myself up for that again? Or am I simply overcompensating for the past?
Gah, I don't know. Either way, I'll continue to flirt with her because, well, why not?
