Saying that i'm not interested to some stranger is not a problem, but how do I respectfully decline from giving strangers my name/number etc. at a church. I was recently asked for my number/email to keep in touch with this young guy that i met for bout 5 minutes... I didnt know how to turn him down nicely and there is the chance that I will see him again in the future, so I gave email. What can I say in the future in similar situations to avoid this?
When someone says that they arent looking for a hook up just a friend/stay in touch, how can I still say no nicely and firmly?

Tell him he needs to ask your Father. Then say, "If God does give you my numbers I will be more then happy to talk with you, but if He doesn't, I'll just see you next week."

Thanks for asking. Great question. You can do a coupl of things. First, if this is true, you can tell him that you do not give out personal information to strangers. "At this time in my life, I am seeking the Lord for my husband.?" Okay, TMI (Too Much Information. Tell him, I'm in a very committed relatonship with a very jealous guy. (If you are saved, this is true, God is a very jealous God.) Both will work, however, my favorite is the one told to me by a sister in Church. "You know, brother, right now, I'm trying to focus on getting myself together spiritually, and you are too fine a brother for me not to get distracted. So I tell you what I'll do. I'll remain cordial, and we can greet while we are here at church, and after about a year, if my life is straightened out, then I will be glad to share this info with you. Now is just not good for me. What ever you do, don't agree to be alone with this guy. Not being paranoid, but wisdom dictates that you get a close girl or guy that you know well and explain to them the situation. Make sure it is not someone who wants to hook you up. Maybe a church mama.
Best to you.

The best way to handle that situation would be to say that you would rather see them at church for right now, that you are not comfortable giving out personal information, but nothing against the person. If the person/people are interested, they will see you at church again. If not, then you haven't given them anything personal.

How about obeying the "Thou shalt not lie" commandment and saying "I'm sorry, you seem like a nice guy, but I'm not that interested in you. Maybe after we get to know each other a little better here at church we could see where things go."

isn't it weird that we're more comfortable in a bar setting, than at church? ha. Anyhow, I always tell people to give me their information, as I have a policy of not handing out my personal information. But, e-mail should be just fine, too.

beginning as much as chat approximately Jesus has a tendency to be a actual pastime killer because of the fact the object of your interest will think of she's the two approximately to get preached at, is handling somebody who has each and all of the vast sexual draw close-united stateslinked with Christianity, or that she is in communication with some style of lunatic. the two that or she expects you to be relatively judgemental on ethical matters, a bigot concerning birth control, abortion and different matters concerning to a womans administration over her own physique, in the different case the style of finished virgin which you have have been given in no way even made it to first-base with absolutely everyone.

How about asking for their number/e-mail and just saying that you don't like to give out your personal info? If they really want to be in contact with you, they will respect that.

>>>Tell them you're not comfortable giving your information out to people you're not very familiar with. Say that you might give them that information later, if you get to know that person better<<<
That's pretty much what I was going to say, but this person beat me to it. A great answer!

Here's what I would do if faced with that situation...just tell the guy you will think about it and let him know at a later date. That is a 'non-commital answer.'

Just tell him you're a very private person and due to this, you do not give your number out to anyone except family.
