How far into a flirtation do you reveal your religious status?

after I hide the car keys;
-are you vested in the quarry-tip toe;why embarrassed
unless thier clergy(honesty is worthy of
respect)...I come from the other end of the spectrum
and it required some eggshell walking.

i make sure to check before i leave/kick them out the next morning

Does it depend on how good the night was?

...?you are too much?ll?2;
maybe we should clone u: now:

@BBJong one of me is hard enough to handle 😉

?

To answer your question, usually prior to the flirtation. I usually don't flirt with someone without having an already established rapport on subjects of interest and as an introvert, not often. Lol ! I usually find myself attracted to gragarious personalities so I usually know more about them than they do of me. So I am able to filter the undesirable fundamentalist out pretty easily.

Like you, I am an introvert. I'm drawn to both ambiverts and extroverts. Because I'm so kind and caring by nature, those I meet assume I'm very religious, becoming shocked I don't hold their beliefs.

@ElusiveMoby That makes sense. I'm very similar in that regard, but what I get is shock from how warm I am because I can seem distant and alof. I have the male version of Resting Bitch face ?

uh ...when, or if someone asks me directly, which doesn't happen often

I've never had to do that. I guess I don't really attract religous people and as soon as I hear the word Jesus or church, I immediately lose interest.

5

Which do I reveal first? I'm an Atheist, Vegan, Democrat with Socialist tendencies.

2

Never really thought about it. The kind of women I am attracted to are uncommonly bright, so I essentially never encounter dogmatic beliefs (religious or otherwise) and they are typically at least not religious if not agnostic.

4

I guess that would require meeting people or god forbid date. Don't think I remember what that is. ?

@kenriley It's a scary world, that's for sure.

Usually when I first meet someone-weed the religious ones out. Before I met Dan here in Singles/Mingle/Chatroom.

There's a single mingle chatroom?

@ElusiveMoby [agnostic.com] try the link

3

First time we meet if they're interesting enough.

If I use online sites, I state it clearly.
In Colorado I never had to, but here (rural VA) I am an anomaly.

I agree>cause they may be in
the process of freeing themselves
could be a plus for relationship.

Why not before you even start . . . . otherwise it is really just game playing.

"Hello. My name is Moby. I'm an atheist." It's kind of abrupt to get it in there so soon.

I have no problem with it, I consider it important, and, usually things you consider important should be the first things you talk about, not the last things you talk about.
