A few days ago I made this post explaining how I slid into the DMs of a girl from church and made plans to meet up for coffee. I was unusually nervous going into it due to the fact she's the first Christian girl I've pursued and she seems to tick off every box. Never have I ever suffered from oneitis before this. I hate doing it, but if I had to put a number on her, she'd be an 8.5 and I'm probably closer to a 7.

Well, Saturday was the day, and everything went great; we shared our testimonies with each other and dove into some scripture. We spent nearly two hours together at one location - normally I would change locations and be sure not to spend so much time in one spot, but it felt right and the conversation was flowing. She's younger than I expected (20), but she is passionate about her walk and spreading the word. There were, what I think, some pretty solid IOIs: strong eye contact, mirroring, her chest and lower neck became flushed, and some hair play.

We walked out of the coffee shop, I gave her a hug, and she asked if she'd see me in church the next day - I said yes. Now, normally when I go out with a girl, I never even think twice about texting her after a date... if I want to, I do, if I don't, I don't. Simple. But once again, with this girl I find myself second-guessing every step I make.

I ended up deciding not to text her that night as I was most likely going to run into her at church the next morning. I did end up seeing her at church, but I had come in late and she was sitting on the opposite side. At the end of the service, some guy had grabbed my ear, and before I knew it she was gone and I didn't get a chance to talk to her. The afternoon rolls around and I decide to shoot her a quick text poking fun at her about something we had joked about the night before. She responds ten minutes later and we exchange some back and forth before I say "...last night was fun - I'm glad we got to meet up." She responds: "Me too, I enjoyed it!" I then tell her that if she's interested, my friend, his girlfriend, and I were planning to get together for some worship (my friend leads worship at his church) and bible study on Tuesday. She replies with "Oh I'd love to! What time were you thinking?" and I give her the time and place. "Sounds good!!" she says.

Are you still with me? How am I doing? She's interested right? Or is she just being a sweet, God-fearing sister in Christ? I feel like a dumb, high school boy again.

Additionally, my friend and his girlfriend can't meet up with us Tuesday (tomorrow), so I'm not sure if I suggest that her and I doing something else alone? If so, what? Or do I reschedule with my friends and her for another day this week?

TLDR: every day is my first day apparently.
