    Evan, you would probably be better served seeking advice from your Pastor. You may disagree with him over whatever it is you choose, but you have chosen to put yourself under a certain amount of authority regarding your Spiritual Walk. He also knows you better than anyone else here, on the Dog House site, and wherever else you have this thread running.

    Witnessing is not something we do it is who we are.

    If you are uncertain how to behave among mixed company you should remain quiet until you come to grips with this issue of biblical friendship/sexuality as it applies overall.

    Do you find this woman attractive in a sexual way?

    Would you ask the same questions if this woman was 72 years old and obese?

    If your concern is gospel motives only it should not matter if the person was a man or a woman, young or old, attractive or not so attractive.

    If you have such a struggle with it suggests you have not come to grips with some healthy and consistent biblical principles in general and are not the person to conduct any such evangelistic effort.

    It is a command given to all of us whether we enjoy it or not.
    GO into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. That is something that needs to "be done."
    It is a command repeated in all four gospels. It is repeated again in the book of Acts. It is something to be done, and every believer should feel compelled in his spirit to go and be a witness to the unsaved.

    I am concerned with the "direction" of this thread and closing it. Enough was said (on page 1) and feel wise to shut it off.
