There's a difference to me. If, again, we're talking about motives and manipulation....that's not what we're trying to get at. If it is about genuinely going to the next level in relationship...then cool. When you meet someone you like, that you click with...you want to get together again, right? <BR/>The first conversation usually doesn't get too far. Weather, family, career. It's usually short, too. The second conversation (whether you set it up or whether you run into them again) can dive into the second-conversation questions: "So, tell me your story." "Tell me more about your faith background." You get to go deeper.<BR/>Don't read "second-conversation" as an evangelism tool. Read it to mean that you are genuinely interested in getting to know more about this person, who they are, what makes them tick....etc.<BR/>If you're NOT genuinely interested, then that's where I would start questioning the "winning one for the Gipper" motive.<BR/>Thanks for bringing that out...Kevin Colónhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15872990410485842454noreply@blogger.com
