from catholic denominations)? Okay, First the background,
This starts back in 2000, I would have been 6
1. My dad was a deacon when we moved (not going to specify where),
2. And so as a Deacon we went to a new church with a priest (eventually my dad became a priest but the bishop wanted us to stay here for now)
3. And this priest has a daughter, would have been about 4
Okay so over the course of the last several years, I have NEVER thought about her in anyway other than a friend. Now that I am older (I am a senior in High School), I told myself that I won't date any girl that is a freshman because that's just sick (because typically they are 3 years younger than me) she also may be a sophomore but I am not sure, never talked about that stuff. Anyways I always looked at her as if she was a LOT younger than me, so I never thought of her that way. I know she likes me (or she did) for two reasons: 1. When they were out of town my older brother house sat for them and found her diary (ya I know invasion of privacy but he was 13 at the time) that was several years ago. 2. People still say she likes me. Still never thought of her in that way.
Anyways yesterday we were at a clergy retreat that all the priests have to go to, and we our parents decided to have dinner before service. And when I saw her she looked beautiful ( I don't say that a lot). But that was the first time I thought that, I mean when I met her she was a little girl but now she turned into this beautiful woman (granted, I haven't been to church in a month because of school). right after I thought about how good she looked I was feeling disgusted thinking "EW what am I doing she is way too young for me).
But then I realized that she is only about 2 years younger than me.
Sorry for the long background story (that's the short version to lol)
Now my questions:
1. Would it be inappropriate for us to even go out? with us both being children of priest's? why?
My parents wouldn't care, they actually were the ones pointing her out to me this last year (which is another reason why it took me so long to notice her is because I Do not want my parents thinking that they picked the girl I am going out with, that's just weird but whatever).
Doubt her parents would care (But I never know, because even though her dad is a priest, that's still his daughter)
2. Should I even ask her out?
I mean we have known each other for about 11 years, she may not like me anymore and think of me the same way I have been thinking of her the last few years.
3. We are a Mission church, would it make the church look bad to new comers if they find out the two preacher kids are going out?
.. I know my thoughts are everywhere I apologies, but it hasn't even been 30 hours since I have been thinking about this. 30 hours of liking her versus 11 years of thinking of her as a little kid, it just really boggles my mind how this all of a suddenly like her.
If you answer tell me what denomination your from. Thanks for all your answers
.......
Also anyone who is not catholic feel free to answer, I would just prefer those who have the same catholic views as me, but any christian answers will do.
and Atheists please no religion bashing, but I don't mind you answering if you can stay away from any touchy subject.
NO FUNDAMENTALIST CHRISTIANS.
I am also purposely putting this in the "religion section and not the "dating section" so I can get a more religious perspective
