Personally, I'd say no... I've been with a woman that smokes, and it was a major isuue. The smoke and smell actually irritates me, some days, so much that even breath mints aren't enough to remove the scent from her mouth (yes, I have a very keep sense of smell), and that's just a big turn-off.
If you're interested in him, go for it... take the chance, you won't look foolish. Even if he's not interested, he'll probably be flattered anyhow, and it will be just a coffee
Not wanting to be a stick in the mud here, but there are differences between Dutch and Flemish, just like there is a dfference between Walloon and French, and American English and British English.
It doesn't mean we can't make sense of the meaning, but the differnces are there....
I go the movies all the time with woman who aren't my partner (and who are in a relationship), doesn't mean a thing.
If you suspect foul play, ask her about it first, give her the chance to deal with it without any interference from you. Suppose she is cheating, her knowing that you know will make her think about comming clean. If she isn't cheating, you'll look the fool for mistaking a friendship for a fling, and you'll cause unneeded troubles by telling him without knowing for sure.
Tamed the students, got several months of vacation a year as a benefit, and the pointless meetings and senseless demands are made in any field, and I used to do a job with about 14 hours overtime a week, so I can manage in education pretty well
As for the dancer, it's probably the same as with the optical illusions (two pictures in one), whatever you happen to see first, your mind fixates on as 'the correct state'... or something like that...
there isn't really a choice in the matter.... Of course, a "local" relationship is much easier to maintain compared to a LDR, but if something happens like in my case.... going on vacation 2000 km from home, and meeting somebody there that swipes you off your feet.... not much other choice then going after the LDR then.....
Personally, I'd ask face to face... since it seems to be an important issue to you, face to face is the best way to go, that way, you can read his bodylanguage when he responds. and at that point, it would be up to you to decide what the next step ought to be.
luckily, as one of the 'ignorant' people that does use his brain, I find this attempt at ramming down your faith through other peoples' throath amusing.
But before you start asking me if I ever read any book: yes, I have read the Bible (both old and new testament), the Koran, examined Buddha's teachings and looked at Hinduism, the old Celtic and Viking beliefs as well as Roman and Greek mythology.... I didn't find any reason to believe in a god of any kind in any of those religions.
If you're happy believing there is a god, be my guest but don't try to 'save' us from our beliefs, it's really quite rediculous.
If it turns out bad again, you can't kick yourself later on wondering if it was a fluke or not. From what you describe, you seem to like her, otherwise your decision would have been made by now.
