Sounds like she wants to convert you not date you,she is gonna want everything on her terms and it can;t work that way unless you would really consider dating her all the way to marriage.
That's exactly what I was thinking. Some churches actually train their young female members to use their feminine wiles to snare potential new members (Mormons are notorious for this). I'd say she's more interested in getting him into church so her congregation can go to work on him than she is actually getting to know him. And, yes, she's clearly not someone who's ever going to be willing to concede any of her terms and, frankly, compromise is absolutely necessary in a relationship of any kind. Someone post the "It's A Trap!" picture, please.

Right, because it's silly for someone to want a bf/husband that shares their interests.
Worst case scenario - you fall for the peer-pressuring and conditioning, and actually start to believe that stuff.
I wouldn't be so harsh...but basically this is the gist of what you're trying to say."i fully respect your religious beliefs. but if your actually interested in letting me take you out, come back when your're willing to respect mine."
run like the wind dude, don't change your principles for anyoneokay, so i met this girl at work about a month or two ago, and she was gorgeous, nice, polite, smart, friendly, a virgin (at 25) etc, etc... totally the kind of girl you'd like to marry if you could... so, i talked to her almost every morning for the last month or so, and finally asked her out...
she said no, but nicely... she asked me if i was a religious guy, more specifically, if i was 'born again', and 'saved', i was honest, and said no, but ii told her i have all the same qualities of a religious person, just without believeing in the mythology... she said 'sorry, but those are the only kinds of guys i'd consider dating.'
after a few awkward mornings seeing her at work, she said that she thought i was one of the sweetest guys she'd ever met, and would really like to take me up on my offer to take her out, i was thrilled, until she handed me a flyer for her church. she said if i'd come to church with her, and 'get to know the lord', then she'd get to know me, and we could date...
now i'm on the fence, i think i'll just tell her the truth, that i'm not religious, and don't plan on being, but there's the little devil on the other shoulder telling me to go to church with her just to spend some time with her and see what happens. she really is a great girl, and i'd hate to pass up the oppurtunity to spend some time with her outside of my job... maybe take her out for drinks and see if she has a naughty side?
...thoughts? suggestions?
i spoke with her this morning... i told her that as much as i'd like to spend time with her other than at work, and get to know her better, church just wasn't the place to do that for me, and i explained that i'm not going to probably ever be a church going person... so basically, thanks, but no thanks. she was a little taken aback by my honesty, i think, but in a good way. she's so pretty i can imagine she's not used to getting turned down, so, at least that sets me apart from the crowd. she said that she can respect my choice on religion, and started to walk away, when i through out there, 'if you still wanted to get together, you know where to find me, but, no hard feelings either way.'
so, i don't know, i don't really care either way, but it'll be interesting to see what happens.

Oh, and Mr. Credible, ask this girl if, after you do get married, she'll be open to anal sex like your ex-girlfriend you're still sleeping with and her married sister whom you also nailed in the chocolate starfish. My guess is the answer will be "no" and she'll never want to talk to you again and you won't be interested in someone who's never going to indulge your sexual freakery. Not a good match.
