writes:I have a slight quandary. There's a man who attends the same church as me. He's been coming for a few months, but leaves right after the service. I finally spoke to him last Sunday and we had a very pleasant chat. (When I introduced myself he said I had let him in to the church office when he had an appointment with the minister. I had forgotten that, it was a couple months ago when I was volunteering there).He mentioned his daughter would be visiting (she was there today) and while he and I greeted one another at the passing of the peace, I didn't try to talk to him afterwards - but did briefly welcome his daughter and said I hoped she enjoyed the service. I'm sure he was focussed on spending time with her - probably doesn't see her that often - but am wondering whether to approach him next week, or not - other than to simply say "hi, how are you". I don't want to be pushy or intrusive if he's not interested in talking......I suppose I'll have to play it by ear. Any thoughts? Reply to this Question

Just wanted to add that I normally do make it a point to welcome newcomers anyway, and the man I mentioned hasn't approached or spoken to anyone else there. However, he did glance at me a couple times during the service this morning (I did nothing) and did say after our conversation last week that it was a pleasure talking to me......he also mentioned he is attending a lecture series (begins in the early afternoon) after church......I really don't mean to make a big deal of this, its just that I'm in a little quandary right now......
