I'm bored and I don't really care about stupid questions. Notice I'm not answering all the questions though I'm surprised that I've answered quite a few not-so-great questions.

How do you get a girl who does not want to date (due to moral (tied in with religious) reasons, which I follow myself as well) to go on a date?

Well, it seems like you're more willing to date so have a talk with her. Tell her that you know its against her morals to date but that you think you guys should give it a shot. You only live once you know? If she's not willing then she's not interested or she's not open minded enough to look past some of those morals.

People who are not willing to do things that are against their morals are not open minded? Geez, how intolerant is that...

A bunch less intolerant than typical Christian teaching...

Yes, yes, morals are not politically correct. You want to be PC, don't you? If you're not PC, the terrorists have won!

Finally, questions I was expecting to answer. If a woman is playing with your emotions maybe she doesn't really want to be with you. It's hard to say.. more specifics on the situation might help

If a guy just wants to have fun he just tell her from the instant there is an attraction of any type. Maybe she'll be open to it.

I didn't mean that in a bad way. Some people just don't do things they're not comfortable with which is prefectly fine. Actually those people are probably most comfortable in their own skin since theyre not easily pressured.

It is not possible to truly hold a belief and to simultaneously be tolerant of doing things counter to that belief.

The guys are allowed to call shens and say whatever the heck they want to somebody who really strongly looks like a second account, but we females are catfighting when we do?

WTF? Made up first in Exeter, CA? That's like 10 minutes from where I live ROFL. Though...they DO have NOTHING else to do out there....I mean NOTHING....save for pushing those cows over.

Well...seeing that it's from Exeter I wouldn't buy into it.

I disagree. You can hold a belief for yourself and still be understanding that others hold other beliefs and should be allowed to practice as they believe.

Electrical.. I guess not a very bright one since I didnt know the ping pong ball question. I definitely wouldn't say engineering is my passion.


What would you rather be doing? It took me 3 years working as a Mechanical Engineer at a consulting firm to realize that it wasn't what I wanted to do for the rest of my life.

Good nite - btw

Again, I disagree. You can hold whatever morals you want and be "open-minded" enough to let others practice as they will. If you truly hold your morals strictly, you need not fear people who are around you who do things opposed to your morals.

[edit] You have no way of knowing whether people who have strict morals have evaluated other options. If they haven't and/or are not willing to, maybe you could legitimately call them close minded, but if they have looked at other ways of living and chosen something strictly moral, does that still make them close minded?

And the problem with that is? Some people don't believe in compromising their values simply to please other people.

In theory I agree with you. In practice, however, there are far too many counter examples. (Towns that prohibit dancing, etc.)

You never know. If she stops talking to you either she wanted something more or she thinks you're a jerk. If she says maybe.. the odds are in your favor

That's exactly why I phrased it as I did. Note that I said "of doing things counter to that belief" not, "of other people doing things counter to that belief". ;)

To truly believe in something is to be completely intolerant of actions counter to that belief that are performed by yourself. Other people's actions won't have a bearing on this belief, but one cannot truly believe something and simultaneously be tolerant of his own violations of that belief.

There is nothing wrong with closed-mindedness (other than immediate social impact, I suppose) unless it's imposed on others by law or some other method.
