In reply to John.

Yes, but the words, “female pastor” are a contradiction in terms, by definition, under any faithful understanding of Scripture. So, dating one is just asking for trouble, really.

With psychologists, you can sort of learn to navigate around SOME of their problems, because the better ones can eventually figure out how to reconcile psychotherapy with Christian ethics. But women have absolutely no place in the pulpit.

You have it right – even one date is too much. And you did right to hit the HARD NEXT button.

Or a female pastor. She was an Episcopal pastor. I guess that’s America’s version of the Anglican church. I know, even one date was too much. Fortunately in my case, it was enough. We got back from our date. I took her to the door. She wanted to hug instead of kiss. So we did. And she proceeded to pat me on the back. It was awkward and creepy. She realized what she did and apologized. I still never called her again.

I had a colleague who decided to become a psychologist. I was asked to participate in some exercises while he was in school. I acceded because he was a friend.

I do recall, shortly before he completed his course of study, a conversation. I told him that, if I ever needed psychological help, nothing would be more frightening than walking into the office and finding him facing me on the other side of the desk. He died in an unfortunate skydiving accident soon thereafter; but that is a different story.

Interesting writing style. I spent 45 years as a professional software developer and have, literally, lost count of the number of computer languages I have used over the past.

"… carrying 100lbs worth of dead weight on your back …"

You found a psychologist who weighs only 100 lbs?

Colour me impressed!

I've known quite a few psych majors, every last one of them was in it for the free therapy.
Don't date lunatics, nuff said.
