Finding Solutions, Not Distractions..

[Coconut]

I am aware of the differences, but I am not trying to avoid them to see how things go. The difference in religion was immediately obvious as I had already started eating my salad, she asked for a moment to say grace.. I am not anti-religious, I have accepted Christ into my heart, I have not avoided religion as a practice, but more by circumstance.

I was looking for a church to attend when I moved to NC, but the first one that I researched made a big deal about "divorcees" not able to become members, which was off-putting to me so I stopped looking (ok, maybe I did make a choice). But I have since spoken with several people about it, including her, and they think I should research other church's as I must have looked into a very strict church and they don't believe most are like that.

Anyway, as long as my position and their expectations are known upfront, I would look forward to learning from someone with different views and upbringing. Although as I previously described, I would not necessarily welcome every "difference" into my life, such as viewing the world differently as to how races are represented (which is obviously very important to her).

I will just continue getting to know whoever I'm attracted to, and determine what being with that person would require of me.
