Our second date: Chinatown

We have our second date today. In absolute terms, the date itself was just "fine". We went to our local Chinatown, but we found the area in a deplorable state. Prices were high, and quality was low. We made one round trip across the entire place (it is only four blocks) and she purchased a few items. Then we went to have lunch at a local Burger King. The entire trip was was kind of disappointing; For the most part, I only enjoyed her company.

The most important thing about this date was the conversation we had while eating at Burger King. One point we talked about was religion and sexuality. I asked her if she was willing to have sex before marriage, and she replied (to my surprise) that she doesn't want to have children before marriage. I repeated my question, and she answered that, even that it is sinful, she is willing to do it. I confessed to her that I have "plans for that", a step by step sequence of events that have to take place before the first penetration. Also, she confessed to be (as I expected) still virgin.

The other point was about our future as a couple. We both agreed that it is kind of controversial, and she told me that her leader (the head of her religious group) would be scandalised if she knew. She said that, eventually, she will tell her, before someone else spread the rumour. I explained that I had a solution to the problem of marriage: just avoid it. If, I continued, we only perform a civil marriage (but not the religious one), it would be no problem. I also told her that if she would want me to convert to her faith in order to get married. I said that it would be hypocritical, because even if I performed all the rites (like being baptised again) I wouldn't believe any of it, and I, rhetorically, asked if she would want that. She obviously said no, but no very firmly.

The journey back home was kind of dangerous, because of a very controversial football match that supposedly, it was about to take place. We had to take another, longer route to avoid the fanatics. However, that longer route gave us more time to be together, so it wasn't a complete waste of time.
