Had an interesting experience today. A woman on Match.com that I sent a message to a couple weeks ago finally read my message and contacted me saying she wanted to meet me to discuss at least our mutual experience of being married to spouses who died of dementia (something I mention in my profile). She also was interested in learning more about me as far as maybe dating besides what was in my profile. Her profile was pretty short and said nothing about her politics or religion except that she was a Christian. Mine labels my politics clearly and list my religious preference as Spiritual But Not Religious, which is maybe sort of a cop-out for an Agnostic. But it's something I settled on a while ago as a way to not scare women off since religion is not important to me and neither is theirs as long as it's not conservative, fundamentalist, or important to them. Which, to a lot of Christians or Jews, it really isn't that much to them.Short story, we traded some e-mails before she took another look at my profile-must not have looked that close the first time-and asked what I thought about religion after telling me in a message that her church and faith were very important to her. I told her I was an Agnostic and she said she couldn't date one.

I'll find out if she still wants to meet as friends to discuss our dementia experiences, which I still offered to do. BTW, her initial offer for a coffee meet, before the deal-breaker came out, was for a half-hour meeting. That should have been a red flag about her interest. Thoughts??
