You still sound like a 'missionary' to even your friend, NC, at least that's what I make of your story! Why can't you have peace with the thought that he isn't interested now, or maybe never? What makes you believe that if he will have interest that he didn't do it out of love (or pressure) for you, but not for himself? Waiting for someone to do what you want is not only putting a distant pressure on someone, but also not really respecting someone being different for the long term? This raises a general question about people accepting others to be what they are, without changing them. And what the relation is of the personal level in connection with social and religious. Your last question is wouldn't be asked if you would have paid attention to history and actuality. Though I believe that generalizing should be avoided and too much and too long concentration on negative points. But that it is still done, has to do with deaf ears so far of the ones meant for?
