I’m probably overcomplicating this…

Discussion - Sex & Relationships

To be completely honest, I’ve never thought of myself as a Christian, on the contrary however, I’ve recently started exploring faith due to a few challenging changes in my life.

These changes made me think again, and I’ve started attending church a few weeks ago, joined one of their discussion groups and I’m keeping an open mind while mostly having no idea what am I doing to be fair.

Now to the matter of my confusion… there’s this lovely girl in the congregation I attend, who was very quick to welcome me, been making sure I sit next to her when I’m there, having a chat about our lives and such… everyone is very welcoming of course, but she always kind of glows up when we see each other there if that makes sense.

The last time we’ve met we swapped numbers (her suggestion) so we can grab a coffee sometime (in a few days as it turns out).

As someone coming from a not exactly religious background (I haven’t been to a church since primary school), I’m in the awkward position of being unable to tell if this is sort of a coffee date or she’s just being super-friendly. I don’t really have anyone I could ask something like this, so I’m hoping you kind folks could let me know if this is totally normal in congregations?

I’m kind of worried I might be reading too much into this.
