I was raised in a really strict religion that I don't agree with any more, and I'm just now ready to think about starting to date. There's this guy that I think has liked me for a long time, but I've pushed him away every time he's tried to get close to me. I really have liked the guy the whole time, though, and he knows about the whole religion thing.
What's a good way to bring up the subject?
Should I even bother if sometimes when I ask him to do things as friends, he says no if he doesn't like the activity or has other things to do? (Does a guy who likes you usually drop everything to hang out with you?)

He is probably used to you saying no to him. Let him know that you have always wanted to get to know him...and now you feel like you can! I am sure he still has feelings for you.. just probably distances himself because it sucks having to be rejected all the time. Send him an email and let him know you'd like to go out and do things with him. Just be sure to let him know that the whole time religion was the only thing in the way and now it's not in the picture!

you have everything all twisted around. the man always chooses the woman. the woman has a choice too, but it's the man's job toinitiate. you need to be honest with this guy - it's like you are playing games with him.
it sounds like you are wanting to control everything - if you like him and then he asks you out then go out. it's not that hard.
you may need to go to therapy to work out some of the religious abuse issues.

Maybe he got tired of being pushed away & moved on. Just talk to him & see what's going on with him. Sounds like the ball bounced from your court to his.

Don't let 'religious' teachings or hang-ups interfere with
your heart !! Those things can change, - let your heart be
your guide.
