The woman who set us up together got a call back from the girl. She liked me, but I was "too religious" for her. C'est la vie.
Was she "religious enough" for you?

Are you willing to date a non-religious Jew?

This is a good accusation. Maybe it's Dio's fault.

Butterflies revisited. Turns out differently than I had hoped.

What does "too religious" mean?

Maybe it's not over, dude. Maybe she wants you to fight for her a bit. Do you like her? What does the competition look like?

I'm further to the right than her. Not a big deal.

I won't fight over her. Doesn't work that way here, Richard.

Dude, I thought you were a spambot for like a week. You posted like a spambot. You failed the Turing test.

This is sad to watch.
Why?

It's like someone piercing their dick and wondering why they have to sit to pee now.

Joe, I neither want, or need your pity. I am quite happy in living my life the way I do. You might not like to have a similar lifestyle, but we're different people with different values.

No. We would be way too different.

As much as it pains me to do so, I agree with R3. You know she doesn't like hypocrisy and strict rules, that is a handy tool.
If you can, try another meeting and show your liberty minded side and try to have fun. You might like the results, at the very least you go out and have fun.

If she is so liberal then show her this BBS.

You shouldn't be talking politics on a first date unless she brings it up.  That's something you shouldn't bring up until a few dates in and you know she likes you already.

It depends on how important politics are.  I wouldn't want to wait until three dates in to find out somebody thinks Bush was a great president.

Yeah, good God Admiral, politics are important enough to make sure things are compatible. You want to wait to find out she's a racist, or a government loving socialist, after it's to late and one is in love?
I mean sure to get laid, who cares, but we are talking mates here.

When I said further to the right, I meant religiously, not politically.

I try to avoid ideological pulpit-pounding when I meet people.  Its usually not a good social lubricant.  As long as I know the woman is not a cop-groupie, we can go from there.  

Last chick I liked, it took me a while to figure out she was more like me than I realized.  Probably a bad match.  The world is just not ready for someone like me to be riding shotgun next to someone like me.

Three of my friends at the Yeshiva just got engaged today. That brings the total of currently engaged guys to seven.

No pressure.  In my case, in my rather small circle of friends and acquaintences, I was the absolutely only person without a steady date, or even a date at all.  For years.  But I was the first to get married.  You think that you might as well give up, but God has a plan, and until He wants you to get married, there's really not much you can do about it, except screw things up trying to fix things yourself; remember how Abram and Sarai tried to fulfill God's promise of an heir in their own way, and how much trouble that caused themselves, their progeny, and everyone else in the world.
