I had met this really nice laid back cute guy from the internet. We meet for lunch and ended up talking for over an hour after we ate. He tried to pay for my lunch, but I didn't let him. He seemed to like that and I went to shake his hand he grabbed me and gave me a hug. He said he would like to talk to me again. So I figure that is always a good thing. *Note I have not being in the dating world for like 4 yrs so I'm kind of clueless here!* So i got online and said hi and he immediately responded back, I told him I thought he was cute and he said he thought I was cute as well. How great right, He also said how he thought it was really cool that I paid for my own lunch and that he must have done something right when we met, because I'm still talking to him. Yet we have a problem he doesn't believe in god and why I'm not overly religious myself, I'm starting to find that it could be an issue. I asked him if he wanted to hang out again and he said sure I think, but I lost connection and was on my cell so I don't know if that was what he said. So from all of this should I just not worry about him, because he hasn't mentioned hanging out again or should I see if he is. But what would you be able to date someone who didn't believe in god. Let me know!
Thanks for your time and remarks.

There is a MAJOR issue between you and this guy, you are a believer in God and he isn't! Faith and religious beliefs are one of the KEY factors in a relationship that are very difficult to overcome, especially between a believer and non-believer. You are already bothered by it (and you should be since you are a believer) and it will only become more of an problem over time. Unless you have a mission to SAVE this guy (that probably won't work given that you met him in OLD with anticipation of a relationship) AND he wants to be SAVED, you need to move on and let this one go live his life as he wishes. Just my 2 cents.
