Don Juan
Hey there, guys. A lot of you talk about being anxious to cold-approach women because you're nervous about what they might think or say if you do. I have to say that I encountered another thing that makes me extremely uncomfortable - approaching girls who try to spout religion when you approach them.
The other night I was in Target, and I spoke to this girl who was an HB7 (I'm being pretty damn liberal here). She said that she would be more comfortable doing e-mail than phone, which is fine, but when she did e-mail me the other day, she sent the following religious message to my work e-mail:
(The names in question have been changed, except the Biblical ones.)
Hi,
I hope you are doing well. I bet you didn't think you would "hear" from me. I enjoyed our conversation the other night. You seem like a nice person, who's sociable, ambitious, and insightful. To be honest with you I was not sure whether to contact you. I am interested in someone else and I did not want to lead you on. But, I kept thinking about some of the things we talked about and I couldn't shake the feeling that our meeting was not accidental. I believe God set it up because there's something you should know.
I graduated last May with a B. A. in Social Work. I knew that was exactly what I was supposed to do. I spent almost a whole year looking for a job. Unfortunately, I could not find one. I was frustrated and depressed. Have you ever felt that way? Why wasn't I where I thought I should be?
There's a very simple answer to this. I had made my own way, my own plan of what I was going to do, but it was not what God wanted for me. You see, <josekortez>, I am telling you all this because God has a purpose for my life and He has one for you too. Do you know that?
You told me that you're in a job that you don't particularly like. It is not what you went to school for. You sound so much like everyone else our age (including myself). We went to college, got degrees, did well for ourselves...and now what?
The Bible says in Jeremiah 29:11, "'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and NOT to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
Please hear me out. I am not trying to argue religion and I hope I don't seem pushy. I just care about people. I speak to total strangers because I care. I am writing now because I care. I don't know what your beliefs are and right now it does not matter much. God wants you to know that He has an excellent plan for your life, a plan to give you hope and make you prosperous.
If you want it, it's yours. The way to it is through Jesus Christ. Jesus says, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." (John 14:6)
So if you want this awesome plan God has for you all you have to do is ask Jesus to come into you life and forgive your sins, and begin trusting Him. Once you do that you're on your way, or , better yet, God's way. I can't promise you it will be easy, BUT, it will be better than you would have imagined.
Thank you for reading this and sticking it out with me. I tried to be brief. I know it's a little long but I appreciate you listening to me. I want to leave you with a few verses to look up (if you don't mind). I don't know if you have a Bible but you can look these up online at www.bible.com
Romans 3:23, Romans 6:23, Rom 5:8, Rom 10:9 and 10
2Corinthians 5:17 and Proverbs 3:5-6
I would be happy to answer any questions you may have, so feel free to reply. Thanks again for listening.
Cordially yours,

I have to say, guys, this kind of stuff makes me extremely uncomfortable and I might even take a "Don Juan hiatus" because of it...
