No, if they don't want me as I am, then I don't want them.

Why waste time and energy? Plenty of singles here.

Works the other way for me. Regardless of how strongly I might be attracted, I see no point in trying to generate a true personal, romantic relationship with someone who believes that God takes care of everything and that our purpose on Earth is to be his servant.. R

No, I would not. Their loss, not mine.

No means no

Nope. If it has come up at an early stage of the relationship, it's clearly a deal breaker for them, and you waste time and energy trying to make headway. When I see "God is important to me" in a tinder profile, I swipe left baby!

No! If they are not interested, that is that. The days of playing "hard to get" are over.

No, life is too short. A friend of mine use to say "I don't bark up a dead dog's a$$" What I have found is that the believer will spend a lot of time trying to show me the error of my ways. And that is time that I can never get back, so why waste it?

no, I would move on immediately.

I just cannot imagine "going after" someone with that many strikes against that person and I having a good relationship.

But then what I value, and what you value may be miles apart.

For ex, I treasure quiet, calm, anti-drama. Some folks enjoy heated discussions tho'.....

No. If their mind is that closed, I would not be interested in the first place.

No.

I've found that 'No' means just that,

No. They need to impress me, not the other way around.

Do you mean that NO that means YES?

NO!

NO.

No. If I get a refusal, case closed. I wouldn't be a pest.

Why? Wanting to date a religious person makes no sense.

Not a chance in hell. Not that the opportunity would ever arise, but that would seem to be a rather stupid thing to do.

In the past I would have should the phermones be that strong. Now as an elder I am wisened to the world ways. Phermones shmermones. I would pursue the zealot for reasons other than a traditional relationship. The zealot & the atheist might have whole universes of commonality other than a long term, monogomous, sexual relationship. There is a plethora of motives & raisone d' etre. Posterity is discovering this as we celebrate diversity & flexability. Conservatives wish to keep things as they are. Progressives see things that are not & seek remediation.

No.

No.

I don't want to be with somebody that doesn't want to be with me.

I cannot imagine such a scenario. If she is a believer and requires to be with another believer, then the whole thing is finished before it even starts. Sure, we could be friends - but a love interest who can't accept my world view? Deal breaker, right there.
