If you have not reached X number of weeks, then I would encourage you to go. Not because you "should" go to church, but because that was your commitment to yourself, to help with socializing.
I support you either way though. 
With regard to the guy, I think I might be saying the same thing as golden_eve, but just to be sure: if you meet him for coffee and you like him and are attracted to him, then I would advise against sex with him. Sex can tend to make you like him even more, and then there will be a good chance that you'll be wanting emotional closeness from someone who isn't prepared to give it. |
Thanks Bill. I agree with you about the guy and if I like him, then not to have sex.
I know that socializing is a goal of mine. And that my plan was to go to church 5x in a row, after you suggested. But I think I'm good for tomorrow. I've been doing a lot with my time, and I'm honestly just wiped (I had 2 stressful interviews this week, I pushed myself to go to zumba, I've been keeping up with friends, I went to a knitting group the week before and liked it, and I'm keeping up with language class). I also am realizing, that while I wish I did, and feel I should, I don't actually care for church much.
It's emotionally draining socially. Yes, there are some good things about it. I just think I need to do this my way. Thanks.
