I always attempted to be open-minded with regards to socializing with new people, and so I did not operate additional means when my date out of the blue shared he was actually a Scientologist. Just what ensued was among my
most remarkable dates ever
, though it certainly left my personal head rotating. Here’s what took place.

1. 
   Everything launched so usually.
   
   We would fulfilled in a restaurant where sort of “meet sweet” method many dream about. Our very own everyday discussion ended up being in fact truly interesting, and I also must state he had been quite pleasant whenever that conversation turned into flirtation. I additionally had not been on a date for a while at the time, therefore I don’t actually hesitate as he questioned me away. The date by itself had been fairly typical too. After all, we were just
   heading out for lunch
   .
2. 
   Yeah, I was amazed regarding the Scientology thing.
   
   We just got the meals during the bistro whenever the subject of religion came up. He very first questioned the thing I thought in and I also freely admitted that I have been elevated Catholic but presently regarded as my self much more agnostic than other things. Their feedback? “Oh. Really, I’m a Scientologist. Have you been knowledgeable about the Church?” Gotta admire just how informal he was, but no, I got no clue that has been coming.
3. 
   A non-Scientologist dating a Scientologist is clearly fairly uncommon.
   
   Per my personal day (and later verified by my post-date evening net searches), its quite unusual for a Scientologist as of yet some one not in the chapel. In addition to Scientology becoming one particular
   fundamentalist opinion methods
   where in fact the theology could be the reply to everything in life, others reason behind this is certainly very easy. Scientologists merely spend a lot of their personal time in the church/engaging in church programs. That “meet sexy” that individuals had during the restaurant? He previously simply originate from a session in church. And where was the guy before our very own day? In the chapel needless to say!
4. 
   The big date variety of turned into about Scientology.
   
   While I happened to be tempted to state “OK!” and proceed, my time appeared very into just what my emotions on their religion had been. The facts ended up being that i must say i don’t desire to make sure he understands my specific feelings on Scientology when I insulted him, but I additionally did not should lie… so I compromised with me and told him that, like the majority of folks, I’d heard many various things about Scientology, a few of which may be correct. That became a blunder since rest of all of our amount of time in that cafe dedicated to him trying to A) determine precisely what adverse situations I would heard and B) convince me personally that Scientology was actually just GREAT!
5. 
   He had beenn’t initial Scientologist I’d actually found.
   
   While this was actually my basic (and only) go out actually with a Scientologist, the facts was actually that I would identified one before. It absolutely was really a buddy of mine in university, though she’d always been very quiet concerning the subject matter. Then arrived one summer where she revealed she was leaving school to go work for the Church and not one people have you ever heard from her again. Also her Twitter profile was actually erased soon thereafter. Sometimes i believe about the lady and hope that she actually is okay.
6. 
   I became into reading every little thing he previously to state, but only because I learn religions as a hobby.
   
   I Am
   maybe not religious myself
   but I’m entirely fascinated by different notion programs. Consistently today, i have studied different religions in my extra time to the stage that i could inform you the theology of all the main types and then some. But rather of informing my personal time that I currently understood all about classes, OT levels, engrams, links, the Sea Org, Xenu, Tom sail, etc., we stayed hushed and listened. Give everybody the opportunity to discuss their unique area of the story, correct?
7. 
   He wouldn’t truly respond to my personal concerns.
   
   Very much like i needed to listen him speak about his own perspective on their values, he had been really evasive each time I asked certain questions about it. For example, at one-point I inquired how much cash it cost, normally, for someone to get started in Scientology. Their reaction? “It’s very amusing you ask that because you really cannot put a price about it.” Afterwards, we inquired what might happen if he or one of is own family members actually left the Church. “You do have a fantastic imagination!” the guy said, before fast altering the subject.
8. 
   Ends up he hadn’t been in lengthy.
   
   Like other Scientologists, my personal go out had joined because members of their family did, but it ended up that they’d been included for just over five years, and that is fairly darn short when compared with lots of people during the faith. He had been insistent that Scientology had changed all of their physical lives for the better but also for some reason would not really get into details about their parents or siblings beyond basics like how old they certainly were and in which they were residing.
9. 
   He was a really wonderful, articulate man. But of course he was!
   
   For many who don’t know, Scientologists understand through their church classes how to talk much better with individuals. Very, quite a few are particularly positioned and well-spoken whenever around other individuals, and I imagine dates are not any exemption. Very much like I was aggravated by my personal big date’s vague responses about their religion, I couldn’t assist but admire the way he talked and transported himself.
10. 
    No, the guy don’t make an effort to hire myself (or at the very least he had been understated about this).
    
    We kept awaiting him to say something like, “you ought to come see for yourself exactly why Scientology rocks. Discover a pamphlet!” but I recognized the fact the guy never performed. He seriously depicted it in an optimistic light, and also at one point he did let me know which he thought I would take advantage of it. Nevertheless, he never ever pressed us to get look at the Scientology heart and I also appreciated that. Perhaps he hoped I would provide on my own commit.
11. 
    I imagined it good for the two of us if we failed to carry on circumstances.
    
    Really don’t feel dissapointed about my personal Scientologist big date at all, but We knew we had beenn’t probably workout. I politely tell him this at the end of the night so we hugged and parted steps. In my opinion the guy understood that it was the right action as well. I never noticed him once again.
