free-to-worship -> How do I initiate a friendship without seeming to forward or pushy? (6/29/2008 10:26:56 PM)

I've met this someone with whom I have a lot in common with, we enjoy a lot of the same things and we seem to think along the same lines. We have had casual and/or incidental meetings, but we only exchange casual and short conversation. I would like to be friends with this person, but he is a single Christian male, and I am a single Christian female, so I don't quite know how I should go about taking a chance on establishing a friendship with him, without seeming to forward or pushy. It is true, that I do find him physically attractive, but more than a physical attraction, I find him to be a really interesting person. If nothing else, I would like to have him as a friend.
So any ideas? I'd like to especially hear from the guys on this one.

The best way to make a friend is to be a friend. If you have commen interests then that's the place to start.

since you only have incidental contact now, i don't think you can really screw things up. i don't see what's wrong with asking him to coffee or see if he'd like to grab dinner (lunch) after church one day. you can try to find a mutual friend and go about things that way.

I can't remember ever thinking a girl was too forward or pushy. Lunch after church with another friend or two sounds like a great idea! Not too many guys I know who would pass up a meal. [;)]

Yeap... those who have a lot in common, should eat in common. [:D]
