Thats ok. While they check you out, you can check them out. If they're checking you out, put your best foot forward. let them know you're not only religious, you really care about all people cause thats what most religions teach. let them check on that some and maybe they're interested, or maybe not. Dont be afraid to keep trying. Its better when you live in a larger community cause then you can try again and again. This is way harder in small communities. There you only get a few chances. In either case, put your best forward, it helps a lot if these are people you can be totally yourself and honest with and who dont judge you yet still have principles somewhat similar to your own. You're doing ok. Dont give up and dont get mad, at them, or yourself, it just takes time and circumstance to come together.
