[/quote] What's that supposed to mean? I will admit I am terrible about flirting. I don't even mean to, and I never know I am flirting. What most people refer to as flirting I call making jokes to have a nice conversation. And there's nothing wrong with humbly accepting generous donations. After all, us poor seminarian wannabes need money for tuition, textbooks and our personal religious items...

It meant that [i]"Ladies, ladies, I deserve no credit for being so pious and praying so much. Well, maybe a little."[/i] is something I can imagine you saying, but I would never. No more, no less. Maybe you guys should start a new thread: Flirting for future religious But seriously, I know the feeling. People understand friendly gestures and jokes way to fast as more. Oh, and for FP: -when you flirt with old ladies to get money for tuition, textbooks and personal religious items

PadrePioOfPietrelcino Posted July 11, 2012 Posted July 11, 2012 When you happen to be visiting a different dioces and go to confession...afterwards the priest looks at you and asks if you are a seminarian...true story last week.
PadrePioOfPietrelcino Posted July 11, 2012 Posted July 11, 2012 (edited) [quote name='FuturePriest387' timestamp='1340521478' post='2448266'] Sweet! I'm glad to know I'm not the only loser thinking about Priestly stuff all day. I can be quite deceiving. I'll be sitting there seemingly reading through a science book like I am smart and sophisticated, but what is going on in my head is really "Hm... I wonder how awkward it would be if a family member confessed his or her sins to me...?" This thread is amesome. I approve. [/quote] I hope somewhere in there you are actually DOING your math homework. Edited July 11, 2012 by PadrePioOfPietrelcino
PadrePioOfPietrelcino Posted July 11, 2012 Posted July 11, 2012 When a seminarian friend comes to visit...you get into the locked church so he can leave a note in the sacristy for his former classmate (now the current Pastor)
