I’ve always attempted to be open-minded in terms of interacting with new-people, thus I did not run one other method whenever my day instantly unveiled which he had been a Scientologist. What ensued had been certainly one of my
most notable dates actually ever
, though it certainly remaining my personal mind spinning. Some tips about what took place.

1. 
   Every thing started off thus generally.
   
   We’d came across in a restaurant in that type of „meet cute“ way many dream of. Our informal discussion had been in fact really fascinating, and I also have to say he had been fairly charming when that conversation turned into flirtation. I also had not already been on a night out together for some time during the time, therefore I didn’t actually hesitate when he requested myself aside. The time alone was quite normal also. In the end, we were only
   going out for supper
   .
2. 
   Yeah, I became amazed in regards to the Scientology thing.
   
   We just had gotten all of our meals in the cafe as soon as the subject of religion emerged. He initial asked the things I believed in and I also honestly admitted that I had been elevated Catholic but presently considered my self a lot more agnostic than other things. Their reaction? „Oh. Well, I’m a Scientologist. Are you familiar with the Church?“ Gotta appreciate exactly how relaxed he was, but no, I got no clue that has been coming.
3. 
   A non-Scientologist dating a Scientologist is truly quite unusual.
   
   Per my day (and soon after verified by my post-date night time internet online searches), it’s rather unheard of for a Scientologist as of yet someone beyond the church. Along with Scientology becoming some of those
   fundamentalist belief systems
   where in fact the theology will be the answer to everything in daily life, another basis for this is certainly very easy. Scientologists only spend a lot regarding private time in the church/engaging in chapel programs. That „meet attractive“ that individuals had from inside the restaurant? He’d just originate from a session in church. And in which was the guy before our go out? On church however!
4. 
   The big date style of became exactly about Scientology.
   
   While I happened to be lured to state „OK!“ and move ahead, my time seemed very into just what our thoughts on their religion had been. The truth ended up being that i must say i did not like to tell him my personal specific emotions on Scientology just in case I insulted him, but In addition failed to need lie… so I affected with my self and told him that, like the majority of folks, I would heard a lot of various things about Scientology, some of which may end up being genuine. That became a blunder because the remainder of the amount of time in that bistro based on him wanting to A) figure out just what actually negative circumstances I’d heard and B) convince myself that Scientology was actually only GREAT!
5. 
   He wasn’t the very first Scientologist I’d ever came across.
   
   Although this was actually my personal first (and only) go out actually with a Scientologist, the reality was that I’d identified one before. It had been in fact a buddy of mine in university, though she’d long been rather silent regarding the topic. Subsequently came one summer in which she announced she had been leaving college to go work for the Church and nothing of us have you ever heard from the woman once again. Also the woman Twitter account had been removed fleetingly thereafter. Every now and then i do believe about this lady and wish that she actually is OK.
6. 
   I was contemplating hearing every thing he’d to state, but because We study religions as a spare time activity.
   
   I Am
   not religious myself
   but I’m entirely fascinated with various belief programs. For decades today, i have learned various religions in my sparetime to the point that I can let you know the theology of all the main types then some. But rather of enlightening my personal time that we already realized about classes, OT amounts, engrams, links, the ocean Org, Xenu, Tom Cruise, etc., I remained hushed and listened. Give every person a chance to share their unique side of the story, right?
7. 
   Howevern’t actually answer my personal questions.
   
   Much as i needed to learn him discuss his or her own perspective on his viewpoints, he was really elusive anytime I inquired certain questions regarding it. Like, at one-point I asked just how much it are priced at, on average, for a person to begin with in Scientology. His response? „It is thus amusing you ask that as you actually can’t place an amount on it.“ Later, I inquired what can occur if he or one of his family members actually remaining the Church. „you actually have the creativeness!“ he mentioned, before swiftly modifying the niche.
8. 
   Looks like he previouslyn’t been in lengthy.
   
   Like many Scientologists, my go out had accompanied because members of their household did, nevertheless turned-out which they’d been involved for over 5 years, and that’s very awful short compared to a lot of people for the religion. He was determined that Scientology had changed all of their schedules the much better but also for some cause wouldn’t really enter into details about his moms and dads or siblings beyond basic principles like how old these were and in which these were living.
9. 
   He had been a really good, articulate guy. But of course he had been!
   
   For individuals who do not know, Scientologists learn through their particular chapel programs tips speak much better with folks. So, a lot of them are positioned and well-spoken when around other individuals, and that I imagine dates are not any exception. Much as I happened to be frustrated by my time’s unclear answers about their faith, I couldn’t help but admire ways he spoke and transported themselves.
10. 
    No, he don’t make an effort to generate me (or at least he was slight regarding it).
    
    We kept waiting for him to express something such as, „you really need to appear see for yourself why Scientology stones. Here’s a pamphlet!“ but I recognized the reality that he never ever performed. He positively portrayed it in a confident light, as well as one-point he performed let me know which he believed I’d benefit from it. Nonetheless, the guy never ever pushed us to go go to the Scientology center and I appreciated that. Possibly he hoped I’d offer on my own to visit.
11. 
    I was thinking it best for the two of us if we don’t continue things.
    
    I don’t regret my personal Scientologist go out at all, but We knew we weren’t planning work-out. I politely tell him this after the evening so we hugged and parted techniques. I think he realized it was best step too. I never watched him again.
