Caught up with an old flame, thought i was on a roll, turned out he liked me too, even better.
We spend a couple of weekends hanging out together, all going well, couple of weeks before christmas he comes over for the weekend, we grab a few beers, have a nice meal, decide to have a fire and chill out.
My daughter brings up the topic of reincarnation, (she was worried about a slug frying in the fire
and then comes the bombshell, only i didn't see it as that initially. Born again Boy states that according to his beliefs reincarnation doesnt exist, you either go to heaven or hell. Turns out he's christian, nothing unusual about that.
The evening progresses, not only is he christian, but totally born again, he discovered god in February, claims to believe the bible word for word, dinosaurs didnt exist etc... Now i don't have a problem with any of that, but imagine my shock when he proceeds to inform me that he is unsure about continuing to see me as he's worried about going to hell over it, then he informs me that he was devastated when he heard through mutual friends that i was a practicing witch, he is utterly convinced that i am doing the work of the devil!!!!! Puhleeses!!!!!You can imagine the conversation
Cut to a short while later, we are either side of the fire (i live in the country) I am stood one side, he sat the other. Something is said about the beautiful scenery, i raise my arms up and say 'this is my church' and lo and behold, a big gust of wind comes flyin down the hill from behind me and sweeps past us and is gone, couldnt have timed it better if i'd tried. Born again boy freaks out and asks if i did that, i just laughed and asked him if he had any real idea about my beliefs.
I am still stunned by the whole scenario, he has since gone home, keeps txting me, wants to know if we can continue to see each other, yet is offering me absolutely nothing. WHy would he want to continue seeing soemone like me ? I thought i knew this person, we agreed to be open and honest with each other, and he wasn't. Am i overreacting?
Do i say a clear goodbye? try to be friends? or run away and hide
