- Dear Keith,
- I appreciate what you're saying...and just for the record I've
- never discriminated on the basis of religion, as far as dating
- goes. For the past 11 years of my life I've dated only gentiles
- here in Iowa( I really don't have much of a choice <grin>) and
- have met some very nice gentlemen. When I was 21 years old, I came
- within 7 weeks of marring an Episcopalian (sp?), and realized
- that something just wasn't right.
- At present, I have to be honest with all of you....there are 2
- gentlemen that are awaiting my reply to "the question". One is
- Jewish (I've known and kept in contact with for the past 3 years),
- and the other is from a very strong Quaker background (who is, at
- the moment trying to learn as much about judiasm as possilbe...he
- is studing with an Orthodox Rabbi). So, you're asking yourselves,
- why did she post this message, right?! Maybe I don't know what it
- feels like to be in love with someone, but I do know that there
- are no "fireworks" with either of them!
- I do hope you realize that I didn't mean anything by the comment,
- "I'm surrounded by Christians!" Thought I'd add a little bit of
- light humor in at the end....Guess I wouldn't make a very good
- comedian (sp?), would I <grin>. I apologize to all those that took
- it offensively! Actually, some of my close friends are either
- catholic or Christian!
