Author	Thread: Guys, I need your help!
cowgirl1984 View Profile History	Guys, I need your help! Posted : 14 Oct, 2010 06:42 PM I have been communicating off and on a little bit with a guy on another site. He approached me first. He asked how I was and if I would like to chat. We have exchanged a few messages, but most have been very short. It was a little boring, so I asked him what he liked to talk about. He wrote back and said he liked to talk about God. That was it. I mean, that is totally fine, but that is such an enormous topic and so general that it was completely unhelpful in starting a conversation. We hadn't messaged for a bit, and then we sent each other a couple more messages. A couple days went by, and then today he asked how I was doing. To be quite frank, I am tired of carrying conversations with people who don't give me anything to work with, so I wrote back and said I was alright and asked how he was doing. His response was: "I am doing well because of who God is and that is the only reason that I am doing well" At this point, I have two issues. The first is that there is no conversation (we might have had a couple decent messages) and yet he wants to talk off the site, which I do not do very quickly anyway as a rule. It has been painfully boring trying to carry on a conversation with someone who, from his profile, I thought I would have a lot in common with. My second issue is, if his response when I ask him how he's doing is, "I am doing well because of who God is and that is the only reason that I am doing well," it feels to me like he is trying too hard to "sound Christian." This is something that has been a big pet peeve of mine with Christians. Everything is happy-happy smiley-smiley plastic Christianity because God is perfect (which yes, He is) so life is always wonderful (which no, it's not, even God said it won't be). Is my impression that he's trying too hard to sound Christian instead of just being real with me the correct impression? This is not the first time I've had something like this come up, so an answer would be helpful. Also, I don't really want to invest a lot into talking to him, so I don't want to lead him on, but I also don't know how to just properly out of the blue say, "I don't want to talk to you anymore," since from another thread it appears what I always thought was good is, in fact, not good, haha. Help!!! Post Reply

I really appreciate your post about waiting a month or two to move off site because that's how I always feel, but I have had people make me feel really lousy for not moving the conversation off site after less than a week! I'm glad that not all guys see it that way. Post Reply
