I have constantly tried to end up being open-minded with regards to interacting with new people, and so I don’t operate additional means whenever my time quickly disclosed which he had been a Scientologist. Exactly what ensued ended up being certainly my personal
most notable dates actually
, although it positively remaining my personal head spinning. Some tips about what happened.

1. 
   Everything started out so ordinarily.
   
   We’d satisfied in a coffee shop where type of “meet lovable” way many dream of. The informal dialogue was actually actually truly fascinating, and I need certainly to say he was rather lovely when that dialogue changed into flirtation. In addition hadn’t already been on a romantic date for some time during the time, therefore I did not actually hesitate when he requested me personally around. The time it self ended up being fairly regular as well. In the end, we were simply
   going out for supper
   .
2. 
   Yeah, I happened to be astonished concerning Scientology thing.
   
   We just got our meals in the restaurant when the subject of faith came up. The guy very first questioned what I believed in and I also honestly admitted that I had been brought up Catholic but at this time thought about my self much more agnostic than whatever else. His reaction? “Oh. Really, I’m a Scientologist. Are you currently acquainted the Church?” Gotta admire exactly how everyday he had been, but no, I got no clue that has been coming.
3. 
   A non-Scientologist matchmaking a Scientologist is really quite rare.
   
   Per my time (and soon after verified by my personal post-date late night internet searches), it really is very unusual for a Scientologist to date somebody outside of the church. As well as Scientology getting among those
   fundamentalist notion systems
   where the theology is the answer to everything in daily life, the other cause for this is certainly fairly simple. Scientologists only fork out a lot of their personal amount of time in the church/engaging in church programs. That “meet sexy” we had in cafe? He had only come from a session in church. And in which had been he before all of our date? From the chapel needless to say!
4. 
   The day type turned into about Scientology.
   
   While I became inclined to say “OK!” and proceed, my personal day felt very thinking about just what my own feelings on his religion were. The reality was that I really didn’t wanna make sure he understands my personal specific feelings on Scientology if perhaps we insulted him, but In addition did not desire to lie… thus I affected with my self and informed him that, like most folks, I’d heard most various things about Scientology, a few of which may end up being correct. That turned out to be a mistake due to the fact rest of our very own amount of time in that bistro dedicated to him attempting to A) uncover what bad things I’d heard and B) convince me personally that Scientology had been only FANTASTIC!
5. 
   He wasn’t initial Scientologist I would actually met.
   
   Although this was actually my first (and only) big date actually with a Scientologist, the truth was that I’d identified one before. It had been in fact a friend of my own in university, though she’d always been very quiet concerning the subject. Then arrived one summer time in which she announced she was actually leaving college to go benefit the Church and none people ever heard from the woman once more. Even her fb profile was removed quickly afterwards. Occasionally i do believe about her and hope that she actually is OK.
6. 
   I found myself thinking about hearing everything he’d to state, but because We learn religions as a spare time activity.
   
   I’m
   not religious myself
   but I’m completely fascinated with various notion systems. For many years today, I’ve analyzed different religions during my extra time to the stage that I’m able to show the theology of all the primary types and then some. But alternatively of enlightening my personal go out that we currently knew exactly about courses, OT levels, engrams, links, the ocean Org, Xenu, Tom sail, etc., I stayed hushed and listened. Provide everyone else an opportunity to discuss their unique region of the story, right?
7. 
   Howevern’t truly respond to my personal questions.
   
   Much as I wanted to listen to him talk about his personal point of view on his values, he had been very evasive each time I inquired specific questions regarding it. For example, at some point I inquired how much cash it are priced at, normally, for a person to get started in Scientology. His feedback? “It really is therefore amusing you ask that since you actually can’t put a price onto it.” Later, we inquired what might take place if he or one of his true nearest and dearest ever left the Church. “you actually have a great imagination!” the guy stated, before swiftly altering the niche.
8. 
   Looks like he previouslyn’t held it’s place in very long.
   
   Like many Scientologists, my big date had accompanied because people in their family did, but it turned-out that they’d already been involved for over 5 years, and that’s very awful short when compared to many people for the faith. He was insistent that Scientology had altered all of their lives for the much better but for some explanation wouldn’t truly enter specifics about their moms and dads or siblings beyond concepts like what age these people were and in which these were living.
9. 
   He had been a very good, articulate guy. However he had been!
   
   For individuals who have no idea, Scientologists understand through their particular chapel classes just how to connect better with folks. Therefore, a lot of them are particularly positioned and well-spoken when around other individuals, and I also suppose dates are no different. Very much like I happened to be frustrated by my date’s vague solutions about their faith, i really couldn’t assist but appreciate how the guy spoke and transported themselves.
10. 
    No, he didn’t just be sure to recruit myself (or at minimum he was refined regarding it).
    
    We held waiting for him to say something similar to, “you need to appear see for yourself the reason why Scientology stones. Discover a pamphlet!” but I trusted the reality that the guy never did. He certainly portrayed it in a positive light, at one point he performed let me know that he thought I would benefit from it. Nonetheless, he never forced me to get check out the Scientology center and I appreciated that. Perhaps he hoped I would offer on my own commit.
11. 
    I thought it perfect for each of us if we don’t carry on things.
    
    Really don’t feel dissapointed about my personal Scientologist big date whatsoever, but I realized we had beenn’t planning work-out. I politely acknowledge this at the conclusion of the evening so we hugged and parted methods. I do believe the guy understood it was suitable step also. I never ever noticed him once more.
