I have usually made an effort to be open-minded about interacting with new people, and so I don’t operate one other way when my date instantly shared he was actually a Scientologist. What ensued was actually certainly one of my
most memorable dates ever before
, although it positively kept my head rotating. Here is what took place.

1. 
   Everything started off thus typically.
   
   We would met in a coffee shop because kind of “meet adorable” method a lot of people dream about. Our everyday discussion was actually actually truly fascinating, and I also must state he had been very pleasant whenever that conversation converted into flirtation. In addition had not been on a date for a while during the time, thus I don’t actually hesitate when he requested myself completely. The time by itself was rather typical too. Most likely, we were merely
   fun for supper
   .
2. 
   Yeah, I was astonished concerning Scientology thing.
   
   We simply got our very own food at the cafe when the topic of faith emerged. He first requested the things I believed in and I also freely admitted that I have been raised Catholic but at this time considered myself more agnostic than anything. His feedback? “Oh. Really, I Am a Scientologist. Could you be knowledgeable about the Church?” Gotta appreciate how everyday he was, but no, I had no idea that was coming.
3. 
   A non-Scientologist matchmaking a Scientologist is quite unusual.
   
   Per my personal go out (and soon after confirmed by my post-date late night net online searches), it is very unheard of for a Scientologist to date some body outside the church. Along with Scientology becoming one of those
   fundamentalist opinion programs
   where theology may be the answer to anything and everything in daily life, additional cause for this is certainly very easy. Scientologists just spend a lot of the individual time in the church/engaging in church products. That “meet pretty” that people had from inside the cafe? He’d just come from a session in church. And in which had been he before our very own go out? From the church definitely!
4. 
   The go out method of turned into about Scientology.
   
   While I became inclined to state “OK!” and progress, my day seemed really contemplating what my own feelings on his religion had been. The facts was actually that i truly failed to like to simply tell him my personal specific feelings on Scientology in cases where we insulted him, but In addition didn’t should lie… and so I affected with my self and told him that, like the majority of people, I would heard most different things about Scientology, a few of which may be genuine. That turned out to be an error considering that the remainder of our very own time in that cafe dedicated to him trying to A) discover what adverse situations I would heard and B) convince me personally that Scientology ended up being merely GREAT!
5. 
   He had beenn’t initial Scientologist I’d actually came across.
   
   While this had been my first (and simply) day previously with a Scientologist, the reality ended up being that I would identified one before. It actually was in fact a friend of mine in school, though she’d long been quite silent towards subject matter. Subsequently came one summer in which she announced she was making class to go benefit the Church and nothing people ever heard from the woman again. Actually her Facebook membership was erased shortly thereafter. Sometimes In my opinion about her and expect that she is OK.
6. 
   I was contemplating hearing everything he’d to state, but because We learn religions as a hobby.
   
   I’m
   maybe not religious myself
   but i am totally fascinated by different belief methods. For many years today, i have analyzed various religions in my own free time to the point that I can tell you the theology of all of the main people right after which some. But alternatively of enlightening my time that I already knew everything about classes, OT amounts, engrams, bridges, the Sea Org, Xenu, Tom sail, etc., I remained silent and listened. Give everybody else a chance to discuss their unique area of the story, right?
7. 
   He wouldn’t truly answer my personal concerns.
   
   Very much like i desired to hear him speak about his very own viewpoint on their beliefs, he had been very elusive each time I asked certain questions about it. For example, at some point I asked how much cash it are priced at, an average of, for a person to get started in Scientology. Their reaction? “It is thus amusing you may well ask that as you really cannot place an amount upon it.” In the future, we inquired what might occur if the guy or one of is own members of the family ever before kept the Church. “You do have an excellent creative imagination!” he mentioned, before swiftly modifying the subject.
8. 
   Ends up he’dn’t held it’s place in extended.
   
   Like many Scientologists, my personal time had joined because people in his household performed, nevertheless ended up they’d been included for only over 5 years, that’s fairly awful brief versus lots of people in religion. He was determined that Scientology had changed their physical lives for your much better but for some reason would not really get into specifics about his parents or siblings beyond principles like how old these were and in which these people were living.
9. 
   He was a really great, articulate man. But of course he was!
   
   For individuals who do not know, Scientologists learn through their own chapel courses how exactly to speak much better with folks. So, a lot of them have become poised and well-spoken whenever around others, and I also suppose times are no different. Very much like I became aggravated by my time’s unclear solutions about his religion, i possibly couldn’t assist but appreciate the way the guy spoke and transported themselves.
10. 
    No, he did not try to generate me personally (or at the very least he was discreet about it).
    
    We held awaiting him to express something similar to, “you ought to appear see for yourself exactly why Scientology rocks. Discover a pamphlet!” but we respected that the guy never performed. He undoubtedly portrayed it in an optimistic light, as well as some point the guy did tell me that he thought I’d benefit from it. Nevertheless, the guy never ever pressed us to get check out the Scientology center and that I appreciated that. Possibly the guy hoped I’d provide on my own going.
11. 
    I was thinking it good for each of us whenever we did not continue situations.
    
    I really don’t be sorry for my personal Scientologist date after all, but We knew we had beenn’t planning work out. We politely acknowledge this at the end of the evening and we hugged and parted methods. In my opinion he knew it was ideal move too. I never ever saw him once again.
