@SIC I'm glad you were able to talk with her again - yay! And, she seemed genuinely interested in you.

So, next time, perhaps ask her to lunch or coffee and/or for her phone number.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!!!! I did not get the impression that he was being arrogant. It's not a "literal" statement, but hyberbole... like, "She's so cute, it should be illegal (sarcasm)... and, on top of that, she's so intelligent - wow, I'm so impressed by both aspects."

                 ------------

The younger generations always has new expressions, so let's not jump to conclusions. 😇

You are spot on @LoveJoyHope-lady

Is she just being polite or is she interested though?:thinking:

I hear you...

Remember:

●We cannot know how someone feels about us without spending time with them.

●We cannot read minds.

But, you can learn to read signals - somewhat. But, you must learn to read the most obvious ones first.

No one on this forum knows this young lady, but we can only surmise that she *might* like talking with you. She didn't try to change seats or run away, right? (That's a start.) Did she smile, look at you and listen (not look around or at her phone a lot)?

You're not going to absolutely know if she likes you or if you have a shot at her accepting your future invitation to lunch, etc. without risk.

                          

                                 -Risk-

                        

I'm sorry, that's just how it works. But, God is with you and you can ask Him for more wisdom and that He'll lead you two to His will.

Maybe it's His will or not that you should date - be open to either.

I emphasize risk because I've read that many guys today don't like that aspect of dating. But, it's just reality, sigh. Don't be too shy or too anything. Just be you, but if you feel God approves, take the plunge to ask her for her contact info or a simple date (coffee, lunch). Don't go for a fancy candlelight dinner right away, haha. (My first date with one guy lasted nine hours - wow! Too much... that should have been like, "date five" for me.)

Relax, don't think anyone can read her mind. Just talk to her the next time you see her. Pray. 

Also, you might want to read up on emotional intelligence (ei) - this is good for everyone!

Enjoy your day! God bless you!

Following as I'm curious how this is going to end up!  I ended up meeting my wife on [a dating app] because I always struggled with how to read signals, how to approach women without coming off as creepy, etc etc.  It should be easier in the church but it just isn't for some reason.

I used SALT

The ones I matched with .. Well I matched with a girl who told me her back story which caused me mild trauma... 

Another one was a single mother... 

Bad experience

Oh and yes the girl who gave me mild trauma .. well she also lied about her age on the app.

Her profile said her age was 31... But she was actually born in 1990 March.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Daniel: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 3

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
