I had asked her about our sexual exploration as kids. She thought just me mentioning it was sinful. Lookingbat her Timeline, not surprised she’s religious. Sad she felt need to “unfriend” me. ---

I seriously don’t think she “defriended” you because you’re not a born again Christian. I think she defriended you for asking creepy questions… Lol! Keep telling yourself that, though, if it makes you feel better… ---

She can still give a “Hello-honk” as she’s passing over your place, can’t she? Or do you guys not live near each other? ---

This had nothing to do with religion. You were unfriended for sending wildly inappropriate messages. ---

Sad she felt need to “unfriend” me. Trust me, you’re the winner here! 😃 I always love it when someone identifies as a “Born-Again Christian”…I’ve told more than a few “That you were born once too much for me!” ---

Although I instantly assume the creepy-sounding messaging is why you were unfriended, that assumption relies on a lot of further assumptions about your relationship with this person on and off facebook. That you apparently didn’t know her religious feelings do support those assumptions though. ---

Sad she felt need to “unfriend” me. You did what?! I’m not the least bit Christian and I would have unfriended you. That is AMAZINGLY creepy and does not respect even basic boundaries.
