Initial Contact... That's a very good way of looking at... Sort-of sounds like a term from a science fiction movie. It seems, for the most part, that no matter how much preparation goes into knowing someone, the first date, still seems like a blind date. A comment was made on your post here about sharing a phone call with her, yes, as soon as possible, like three days ago. Must move forward if interest is still there. My concern for you sir, is the close location, only five minutes away? That would scare me senseless. Even if I were looking for something long-term, no less than twenty miles (32km) away from me and if it is real and a relationship forms, then tackling the twenty to fifty mile difference will be much easier, than in comparison to having to deal with a bad romance... I have a saying."Run away and live to date another day".
Oh hell, I learned years ago, to make it a point, to not show any interest what-so-ever to the girl friends of my girl friend (I know that barely made sense) Anyway, it might not seem fair, but love is to sacrifice.
Looking for something out side of the spiritual realm, that could have created the universe? Not going to find it! The God of Israel is the only God that makes claim to be the only creator.
