    1-you may need someone to love you first before you are free to love them in return
    2-to teach you both to have better boundaries with the opposite sex
    3-God let people believe what they want .therefore, we need to be careful who we trust
    4-you are developing into a very desirable person

    This is my problem, i have been in a relationship with this girl that loves me more than i do for over a decade but I don't love her the way she does. It hurts me because I have been lying to myself all these years and i can't let go because she is always coming back to me even when I have given her the signs but she is still adamant about it. I'm not a violent person, even as that, i have also helped her in the best possible ways I can during this journey but i don't see myself getting married to her. I don't know what to do so that we can both go our separate ways without resentment towards each other.

  • @MCharlerySmith
    @MCharlerySmith 2 ปีที่แล้ว +16

    Yep, this is a great follow up and get's our eyes off our own disappointments for a while.
    What I've noticed is that pure love brings out the best in us and also leaves a witness for others who may be watching. Maybe you're not right for each other, but if it was godly it may help shape their view of true love later on and even strengthen both of your faiths. How well you handle the disappointment will bolster your testimony too because if you can love and accept that you didn't really get anything substantial back then you've really come to an understanding of what the life and ministry of Jesus Christ was all about.
    Thanks, Mark.

    I momentarily dated a girl who claimed she wanted to marry me 2 months into dating. But the more time I spent with her, the more I realized that I didn't love her. Then, during one conversation, I discovered that we had differing views on a major political topic. Eventually, we had to separate.

    No one should "fall" in love. Though it often happens(infatuation idolization lust) this is carnal and immature. Perhaps this is why it only tends to happen once or twice when we are young and foolish. The "falling" implies it was not a choice neither could it be controlled. The gift of the holy spirit is self control and a sound mind. Authentic love is always chosen.

    • @user-nj5cl6xs4n
      @user-nj5cl6xs4n 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thats unbiblical and untrue. God never said we would have no problems in life. In fact he says that his followers better be prepared to face persecution. There are tons of examples to pick from but just look at Paul. He is arguably the greatest apostle who was devout beyond words and prayed constantly. Now just look at the life he endured while he wrote his letters, which he had to write mostly from prison. There will always be storms and problems in this life, because the world is broken and we are a fallen race. The storms will only gone once we go home to the Father.

    Yeah, I can relate to this hard. It was painful and a time of great growth for me. Thank God I've come out of that, but sadly, I did harbor a bit of resentment for a while, because I was frustrated with myself. Not with her.

    I have dealt with those that are hurt and won’t open up. They can be poisonous and they can drive you away due to their insecurity.
    But I hope that you are right. It might be possible that God wants me to love him, because I usually walk away very easily from a bond if I think that it’s a waste of my time.

      You may not need to do anything if you haven't expressed interest. If you expressed romantic interest it's best to let her know you think it's best to move on as you don't feel that way for her

    I'm a senior in high school and there is this freshman who really likes me. Like, she loves me. She's quite literally obsessed with me. But I don't have the same feelings for her. I've let her know this, by telling her she's not my type and that she is a bit too young. However, she continues to persue me. But instead of me pushing her away, I've actually let her talk to me and hug me and sit with me. Most guys would've pushed her away, and based on what she's told me, a few have already done that to her. This is girl is very low income, she's poor, child protective services got involved, and she really doesn't have much. But instead of ignoring her, I have been trying to make her a born again Christian. I tell her about Jesus, that she must repent if she wants to be saved. She must confess her sins and flee from sin. I'm trying to make her at least the one soul that I can bring to Jesus for Him to save. When we both die, I want to be able to see her in Heaven and say to her "you made it." Because even though I don't love her enough to be my girlfriend, I care about her enough that I still want to see her in Heaven with Jesus. She struggles. She cries a lot. She has some issues, and she tells me that she thinks God won't forgive her of the bad things she's done. She told me what she's done, and they're pretty bad. But I've told her why God can forgive her. And that's because Jesus Christ died on the cross and paid the price for us. The Bible says for the wages of sin is death, and Christ paid the wages of sin. God can excuse us and have mercy on us because the debt has been paid in blood. The blood of Jesus Christ. I'm not sure if she actually understands this concept. She might still be too young to grasp what that means, but she tells me that she prays all the time and asks for forgiveness all the time. I can only hope that she truly does. She's very sweet, but she really isn't my type and I feel bad for her, for her environment. I just want her to come to Jesus and He will save her.

      Of course you can have a wife who will love you for who you are. In fact, as a Christian man you have a better chance of finding a good wife. As a disciple of Christ, you should seek to transform yourself into who God wants you to be as a man & as a husband (read the Bible & pray for the Holy Spirit to guide you). All of us have to be discerning regarding who to allow into our heart and as a spouse to bring glory to God in that marriage. I believe that if God put the desire to be a husband on your heart God has a wife who is perfect for you.

Pay attention to who makes u search urself, who makes u want to be better, just by being who they r. (even if they occasionally drive u crazy 🤣) That involves really getting to know and understand someone, as a friend, to see what's really in their heart. U'll also see how they make ur heart feel, and if she'd be a wife God would want for ya. "When" u do find a wife ( I just won't believe u won't, God does want us to be happy and u seem to follow him ) stick together with true COHESION. Please look up the definition. It's a good word! Best wishes to u n ur future bride. Btw, u shouldn't assume sensitive is negative. Matters how God wants u to be. Sensitive doesn't contradict being a man, it can actually make u a better leader.

I did like someone very much who was guarded but I am not chasing anything, but my ex who drained my spirit is still obssesed with me. He hints everytime and it drains me. I dont want him as I was so unhappy and far away from God, but he keeps trying petty things,blaming, playing victim, using kids. I dont know why God lets him be this way but I got tired to get angry, I dont want to feel even resentment against him, wish he just move on and calm down with his methods. He was reported to police too, I just want to have peaceful and simple life without him.

    Am I the only one who disagrees with the notion that men and women can't remain just friends without eventually someone developing romantic feelings? I can admit I've had the experience occur before, but nonetheless I've had a few close female friends that I've spent years hanging out with and shared intimate details of my life and neither one of us have developed feelings. Perhaps I just grew up around alot of women and I'm just now realizing that alot of other men never grew up interacting much with women nor saw any reason to outside of the purpose of pursuing something romantic/sexual. I agree that God created gender friendships to have a depth that can't necessarily be reached platonically with the opposite sex, but I still just don't think developing healthy platonic relationships with the opposite sex is as complicated as people make it out to be.

      I think male to female friendships are possible without it leading to romantic feelings, I just think it's not healthy to be best friends/really close friends. Without boundaries something goes wrong. if nothing else you both keep other potential dating partners away because it looks like something more. Here's a test: Will this friendship change once either of you get married to someone else? If yes, that means the relationship was not at a healthy level for two friend of the opposite sex
