I know it's hard, but try not to overthink things too much. Maybe she hasn't found the right guy. Maybe you might be the right guy. You never know unless you take that first step and ask her out.

Yep, that's definitely getting sigged right there haha


Very wise right there. I've regretted not taking a lot of chances I've had. Always http://i865.photobucket.com/albums/ab216/asapp152/201201262226565426.jpg. Sometimes you'll get the expected answer sometimes you wont. Asking to go out on a date or even anything that is remotely like a date is a yes or no question, and 50% of a chance if pretty big if you ask me.


Listen to her, she's old and wise and has a kitty in a santa hat as an avatar.

Also, if a girl knows her parents approve of you she'll be more likely to go out with you. In more than a few occasions I've made small talk with the parents even before asking the girl out. They always seemed a bit more open to things and lively when they knew their dad's liked me.

I was talking to one girl who's dad insisted that I go golfing with him every weekend

OP, if you have 0 interest in being or studying to become a Jehovas Witness, then I'd say it's a waste of time if the girl is very devout. As someone who used to study with Jehovas Witnesses (I stopped studying out of personal unsureness of what to believe), one of the things I learned rapidly is it's a very interconnected community, and one of the strongest points of it's faith structure is not to mix faiths because it is improper. However, don't go studying with Witnesses for the sole purpose of some girl, because that's not the point of religion. So ultimately, it's not that the girl isn't allowed to date, but more than likely is strongly discouraged to not date outside of her Kingdom Hall.

ok, what is JAHO? -.-
i am freaking stupid
JUST ASK HER OUT. god *hits self with brick*

Just ask her out.

Maybe I should have written it out on my http://i865.photobucket.com/albums/ab216/asapp152/201201262226565426.jpg....Anyways, anything you see that has the dos equis guy on it should instill confidence

We really need to spread the word of Salvation that is JAHO throughout the masses of the internet.

You don't mean do you?.......There is no other way is there....we have to tie it into the of doctrine of the Vinegar Ra!

DON'T BRING THAT NAME UP!

No talking about religion, you evil Vinegar Ra cultist.

Same thing.

You, who were fermented in the bacteria of Vinegar Ra's bosom, why do you reject your father-mother? Look into your gram negative bacterium, and know the truth of your origins!

Oh god, those bloody cultists are coming from the woodworks! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE aSaP?!?!?!?!

(On topic: Keep us updated op)

Lol.

Oh you mean the religion that forbids blood transfusions?

Anyways, OP just stay away. She may be ok, but J-Ho's have some pretty messed up views, and that is going to come into play. In the odd chance that this works out, you'll probably need to convert. At this age, for a relationship that probably won't work out (sorry), is that really worth it? I respect your class as well, but IMO don't give girls roses and stuff like that unless you're actually in a relationship with them, and if you do, make it sparing.

Alright, back on topic, guys.

Just ask her out if she's allowed to date. If she is... JAHO.

Find another girl that doesn't blindly follow what she has been led to believe.
or
Wait until she has her own house and then break her away from her religion. (I say own house so her parents don't kick her onto the street or whatever)

LOL

No, no, no, no. While I despise religion, if you have to "break" someone out of something like religion that you don't even really know well at all, like in OP's case, should call the entire thing off, out of respect for that person, because clearly it's lacking as religion is an individual choice. If someone "breaks her away" it should be herself alone. Proselytism of something this nature is selfish, vile, pointless manipulation and completely contradicting to the concept of a relationship.

For the OP, since it sounds like you may be religious too, just a different denomination of Christianity at worst, I have to agree to the simplicity of JAHO. You just never know what will happen until you try. Depending on her age, you might want to be friends with her, get to know her better first (especially see if dating her and being with her is bearable without the usual dating/going-out constraints), and maybe go over and hang out at her house so people (read: family) get to know you --- or you can pop the question and hope for the best reaction. Either way, snoozing is losing, and if this is someone you have a lot of feelings for, you'd likely regret not pursuing them in some fashion.

JAHO. The worst case scenario is you learn how to take rejection. That is a very useful skill to have.

I remember my first JAHO scenario, it was terrible. I was so nervous but I built up the confidence went to her locker and she said maybe. That is the last word she ever said to me. But then again, we were never really friends.

Move on, seriously...A Jehovah's witness? What good can possibly come out of dating a hard line christian girl? Unless you're a mental Xtreme lover of the bearded one yourself. Think about what you want out of it?

A.) Do you just want to sleep with her? Ha, good luck maybe 5 years down the line when she has a ring on her finger.

B.) Take it slow? Maybe, but you're still not going sleep with her, so do you want to spend the next 6 months courting her and watching PG films?

Basically, my admonition is that chasing a super religious person is time wasted, unless you're religious yourself.

Yeah no. I dislike lots of religions, I mean completely despise some of them. But do you have any idea how wrong what your suggesting is ?

She belives in something, maybe, just maybe she lives that way willingly. Like I said, I dont like religion, but if I loved or claimed to love someone, I wouldnt go trying to break their faith, or alter their life to what I want them to be. You cant honestly love someone, then do something like that.

Being religious doesn't necessarily make you someone who expects others to follow the religion, too. Obviously, someone you're dating is a huge part of your life, and since religion can also be a huge part of someone's life, it'd be nice if those two things clicked - but it's definitly not a necessity. Many people are quite private about their faith, and as long as two people can respect their differences of belief, I see no problem with them dating, even if said differences exist.

It really depends on the people in question.
