This is the most frustrating thing I've run into lately...
People (usually guys) "hiding" the fact that they're Christian until they know for sure that you're a Christian. My faith is a point of pride in my life, so I generally share where I am in my walk with total strangers. It's definitely not something I ever appear ashamed of.
Lately, I've discovered a ton of friends that I've had for a long time are saved. I've talked about God in the past, but they generally change the subject so I assume they're not interested in God-related conversations. Then, months down the line we get into an in depth conversation and they'll reveal where they are in their walk. Every time I'm dumbfounded and ask, "Why didn't you tell me you were saved/go to church/love God/etc?" And they reply, "Well, I wasn't sure you liked Godly guys so I didn't say anything." "Uh, what." Obviously, I'm a Christian. I talk about God a lot. I listen to all Christian music. I wear a cross bracelet on my wrist that I never take off. I go to church every week. Even if you didn't know me, my actions prove my faith. Why wouldn't I like Godly guys?
There's no bigger turn on for me then a guy who's intensely in love with God. And yet, all these guy friends I have hide it. Like it's a big red flag that says "don't date me." Which maybe it is... to UNGODLY girls... Ugh.
I just feel like if you're a Christian, you should want a Godly girl, right? And in pursuit of a Godly girl, you should most definitely want to share your faith with her. And yet, so many Christian guys hide this so they can get a date with what? an unGodly girl? What the heck. I don't understand!
