Would you go to church with someone on a date? That’s the question on the table during this Girl Chat! Check out what “The Real ladies had to say, and share your answer below in the comments.
+Keith P. Black churches particularly. Lol I went to a friend's church once (she's white) and it started at 10am (it started on time!) and it ended two hours later. I didn't know what to do with the rest of the day.
I go to church every weekend, but church is not a date. It's not a time to talk or get to know each other, so no thanks. We can go to church and go out on a date afterwards.
I agree. Take me out somewhere first. Then after 4 dates, then if he says, babe, I really like where this is going and so I want to show you the other environment that I love (which is church). Then I would say of course because I know him enough to want to go to church with him and plus we both know by then we worship the same God. But for a first date, No!
+Bri Brown to each their own. I think it depends on what you plan to do, on that church date. Worshipping God together can be a date, you don't have to talk about each other for it to be one.
I'm not a religious person, so going on a date at church would be really weird for me. Also, you can't actually talk or get to know a person in that environment.
+StingingwithqueenC Also people are assuming that the faith of the other person is the same as theirs. I'm not religious either, but that was a big relationship conflict between my parents because they practiced two different faiths even though they were both under the umbrella of Christianity.
+Elle Plow Plow I'm just commenting the part you can't get to know someone in church. so I said afterwards you can. I think even if you're non religious and your date wants to go. I say why not, it doesn't hurt.
We went to breakfast, church, then to lunch. 9 am-8 pm--We stayed out at the lunch table talking until it was dark, so we had more food and kept talking. That was our first date. We're getting married this summer. Yes!
+Sydney D I love church and may God bless it, but there is a lot of hypocrisy there. I don't believe you will ever truly get to know a man or woman in the church setting. Check how they live their life from Monday to Saturday when no brethren are watching them. That's when you get to know the real them.
Oh btw i forgot to add to my comment: a man can also have a relationship with God outside of church. You dont have to go to church to prove yourself. If you as a man or woman go to church on a first date just for the sake of showing that you have a relationship with Him, I suggest that Jesus takes the wheel on that one, cuz that ain't right.
But no one ever said you would and that's not the point. You can go bowling on a first date and STILL have to get to know that person outside of that atmosphere. That could be said about any date. No one said that you could get to know them fully at church. It's common sense that you'd have to get to know hem outside of church in their everyday life. That's what dating is for. As for me, I don't mind going church on a first date. Especially if that's what we both enjoy doing.
Going to church would be a great date. Afterwards the couple can go out to lunch. There's nothing wrong with that at all. I was cracking up at Tamera's story. That's embarrassing lol
+Empressive That's exactly what happened on my first date. Instead of dinner and the movies, why not opt for church and dinner lol. The secret is to go to a church where you both are first time visitors. We've been married for 10 yrs. '
Empressive i think that's a great idea. I am not a christian but I would absolutely go to a religious function with my date. Lunh after is even morenperfect because then you can talk avout what you experienced and what you think about religion and so on and so forth. So the conversation is not so forced and you don't have to go throigh all the standard quetions right away. I think an activity for a first date is always a good idea. It takes away the pressure somewhat.
I guess Im randomly asking but does anybody know of a way to get back into an Instagram account..? I was dumb forgot my account password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me!
Museums are good first dates. They're great for conversation, and if there's a bit of awkwardness, you can hide it by looking at the art/exhibits and also comment and ask questions about them. You still get to know each other, but it's less intimidating and puts less pressure on both of you to have "topics" stocked up just to prevent lulls.
you gotta love Loni. All her advice leans on the funny side versus the seriously looking for a husband side. The best first date to me would be a picnic on a sunny day. Then if it goes well, a dinner date.
Right?! Why is this show always trying to indoctrinate? I feel like Loni wants to come out as non-religious, but the rest try to act like holy rollers.
+Renita C I don't think Jeannie is religious either but you notice this season she's been preaching a lot. 😒 trying to keep her job I guess. I wish they would stop with the religious stuff but I don't think they will with Tamera there.
+Elle Plow Plow You can't assume on everything(Loni and Jeanine being non-religious). They all decide to discuss on that! I do agree that they need to minimize the topic as they're ppl from different religion watching the show and some cannot relate on that topic (first day in a church). Like myself, I'm Muslim.
but she has a point. it is cheap but it is decent. I'm a pk and all but sometimes church is a pressure and like she said if he doesn't give there might be a problem
+K Marie Why should a guy spend a fortune on the first date? The first date should be more about a whether you are having a connection or not, besides that you can go for lunch after the church service.
As a non religious person the last place I want to go on a date is church. I'm all for hearing about another persons beliefs and learning about it but first date? no thanks.
I'd be glad if they invited me to church; An easy way to eliminate the possibility of a match. I spent 19 years trying to avoid going there! I DO have a friend who goes every Sunday just to keep his wife happy, but he also had a kid just to keep her happy so.. :/
Awe poor guy settled I hope he finds true happiness in someone one day!! That's just sad. And yes a very easy and good way to eliminate the person I don't think I've ever dated a religious person so I'm glad for that cause I'm sure that can cause issues.
I am a church girl and I go to church every Saturday and I definitely will love it if my man goes to church with me but IMO going to church on a first date is not really a great first date. You really cannot get to know people and interact with them when you go to church. Museums, Theme Parks, Dinner, and Bowling are great first dates IMO.
Loni is annoying sometimes, she seems to play this role of I don't care about romance,love etc. I like her but she bugs me with her comments sometimes.
Church isn't a first date tho. You can't really talk and get to know each other. Church is an amazing place to go together and worship and have fun but not a first date.
I'm sorry but who says going to church is a cheap date? For some people that's an important part of their life. For others it's not. But I'm just saying that was just a wrong thing to say smh 😁
it doesn't take that it is not important it's more so an observation but not a real real date in my opnion. I mean we can go but I would want to go somewhere afterwards, if he behaved well in church
i have seen some people say that they think loni is non religious and just didn't want to come out and say it and that i agree with. i think she just wanted to come up with other reasons why not to
I would because it would telling me that me and him could have a relationship with god. and also i would get to meet his church family. so it would definitely be nice. anyone else agree? 🙋
+dance4life1208 not all church people are "hypocrites" maybe you just need to go and find out that you need jesus in your life. and you do. shade but no shade 😊
And there's fans who add up everyday so she's not wrong for telling the story again .... Arrgh people like u and there stupid comments like dude ure not the only one watching dammn
Sorry she bored you with her repeat story, but I never heard her tell that story before. Not to mention I could relate I too live in NY and have never been to the circus.
Chill out I love Tamar, I watch all her shows but she's felling way better now, it's a talk show it's not dancing with the stars anymore so she should be there. Everybody else is there, Tamara has a baby and she still there everyday and tamera was gone because she as super pregnant. But I'm just saying I watch this to watch all the host .. It's not fair to us viewers
Yeeeeeeeeees people! The twists are back ! Bless this day my good people we have been heard! Thank you MLK thank you Lord for guiding her glam squad! Loni you are gorgeous
This convo was hilarious...the circus date and how he did it was really sweet. My gurl Jeannie always has the best stories. The tall guy snoozing at church that you couldn't miss had me rollinggggg😂
I love the panel in the order of Left Tam, Jeannie, Loni, A, Right. It works best in that format. They all are lovely together overall!!!! That’s just the format I like 😂❤️🥰
omg awww adrienne telling the story of her and lenny's first date! so sad that they didn't work out but she's talked about that date before and said it was lenny :(
A date in church is just weird! Is everyone Christian in the US? You're supposed to learn to know the other person, not judge their religious behaviors.. I don't understand...
As important as my faith is to me church would not be where I would want to go on a first date. It's easy to be disingenuous in church. Some of the most corrupt people lift their hands and "shout" in church every week. I want to get to know the real person first. We can go to church together later.
Yes! She said years ago that her first date with Freddie was a picnic in a rose garden…nothing about a flight to the country at all. I think she took like a 4th or 5th date experience with him and used it as her first date this time lol or it’s all made up who knows
I went to a musical as a first date once. It was pretty awesome. And I would go to church, but not as a full date. As part of a date, when we go eat later, yes, but as a full date...
Tamera talking bout a Pentecostal church had a high spirit. I'm Baptist and my church keep a high spirit. Shouting, clapping, dancing, praising, any and everything you can think of that will praise the Lord.
Church is a horrible first date. First, church does not a good person make. The devil goes there too. The majority of people are on their absolute best church behavior and it's not a good reflection of who they really are. Bowling is actually leaps and bounds better. It's a low stress thing to do. You get to dress casually and not much can go wrong.
Good job girls on the real enjoyed your show sending you a text message really enjoy your show I watch your show everyday on Channel 4 in the morning at 11 o'clock I'm very proud of you because you're doing a very good job and I bless you all with the best #LOL
Jeannie is always changing her story about her first date first she said that Freddy flew out to where she lived and they went to a rose garden and had a picnic and now she's saying he flew her out to his farm on a first date and he taught her how to milk a cow and make cheese. Which one is it
Jeannie goes off on a tangent too much. It's like girl, what the hell are you getting at? And honestly judging a man on how he behaves on an airplane is doing the most. Not everyone is gonna be cheery and happy on a flight.
+Leah Brown I love the girl but she was completely off-topic. Who says "Hey take your passport and prepare your butt, our first date is gonna be a plane trip (a hours long one at that)! Hope you like plane food." Judging a man on how he treats restaurant employees makes more sense for a first date.
keinnnaM But the date wasn't the plane trip. It was part of it, but the visit to his ranch was the actual date. And unless her husband's ranch was on the other side of the planet, it wasn't a hours long trip to the point where he would become a jerk either. Still off topic.
Stop asking in EVERY video where's tamar, these episodes were taped when she was sick. Plus it's good she stays away she's not good to the show she's jealous of Jeannie and trashy.
Jeanie I like to watch people just the way you do on the plane, but I don't just do it on the plane. I do it everywhere especially in social places where I might meet a nice guy. I can tell a lot about their character just by watching them like that
Lol Jeannie is totally shading black churches, lbr. And I don't disagree. Black churches never end! Also Loni was annoyed because that guy was hot, generous and humble? What?
Jeannie so channeled Tamar around 7:39-7:42 after Adrienne said Boom! and God jeannie freddy is a great guy, hope you two lasts and blessed with a child well God's willing. I'm rooting Jesus Christ in your foundation of marriage for a longtime after so many that are falling in divorce nowadays if you are reading this comment. And hope Tamar come back soon
Going to church on the first date, hell yeah! Actually, the best first date I had, we started our day by going to church. Followed by eating lunch, going to a movie theater and lastly arcading. Sounds simple but we actually had fun and know a lot of stuff about each other.
