    Breaking Up - but still best friends. We need prayer!!

    1) Intimate...? while we were still dating, I would have long phone calls with other girls who were just good friends. I'd say my top three friends are all girls. Obviously we'd talk a little less and stuff if she were to date someone else, but i guess i see where you're coming from. 2)Dating...

    Breaking Up - but still best friends. We need prayer!!

    So, to let you know how things have been recently. This past august, my girlfriend moved off to college. I'm still in high school. We kept dating (as we had already been dating for over two years) and kept in good contact. Our relationship actually continued to grow stronger! But naturally, the...

    Dating to marry

    Let me see if i can clarify a little bit. Whenever most married people started dating, they didn't already know they wanted to marry each other - they knew there was potential, but they still had to learn a lot about each other. After being together for a few months/years, they realize that this...

    Dating to marry

    I wouldn't say don't date anyone unless you could see yourself marrying them - very few people would be dating if that were the case! You really can't make a prediction like that until you've been in a committed relationship with them for at least a few months, long enough for the "honeymoon...

    Going from a normal relationship to a long distance one

    Just an update *counts* nearly five months later, everything's going great. we talk about 5-6 times a week and make visits about once every three or four weeks, which seems to be just about right. yeah, the distance can be painful, but it's worth it. thanks again for all the great advice...

    Question for those who were friends first

    lets see. well, we were just friends for about 9 months, although for the last couple months it became more and more obvious that we liked each other. she waited for me to ask her out for a while but i was way too shy, and she asked me out. I'm very glad she did, by the way. it seemed very...

    Tell Your Story

    that's awesome! that sounds a lot like us, we were friends first and then fell in love, she was sixteen and i was nearly fifteen when we started dating, right now she's 3 hours away, and then when I go to college, we'll be six hours apart. that's going to be a tough three years, but it's...

    Tell Your Story

    I could write a huge wall of text, but i need to go to bed soon lol! Anyway, a little over three years ago, my girlfriend became a member at my church. a month or so later, we became friends in the youth group and hit it off, we both had common interests and very compatible personalities. after...

    How will I know When My Husband Comes?

    the bible also says that there are some people who need to get married - those who are able to go through life without getting married are blessed because they can be more devoted to God. I don't think the bible ever makes marriage a sin - in fact another place also says to watch out for groups...

    Healthy LDR ?

    I have an idea; tell him what you've told us, ask him the same questions your asking us. I've gone through something VERY similar. I'm in an LDR - we've been together for 2 yrs 3 months, and about 3 months of it has been LDR. The past month, though, she moved off to college. She's had lots of...

    Getting married – having seconds thoughts, confused and discouraged

    God should be a part of your relationship. This doesn't mean you two can't get over it, but definitely work on that BEFORE you get married, if y'all decide to. part of the connection that a husband and wife should have is spiritual. you'd be missing out on one of the best parts of a...

    taller girls and shorter guys

    I'm 5'11 and my GF is 5'4. I'm just so used to being taller than her, it would be so weird for her to be taller than me! I guess i prefer it this way cause it seems so normal, but idk. :P

    how can you tell if hes really the one for you?

    i'd clarify by saying "aren't yet". a year ago, i would have been asking this question about my gf - "she seems right but how do i know for sure?". now, a year later and so much closer, i can easily say yes, she's the one for me without a single doubt in my mind. as others have said, give it...

    Would it bother you

    depends on what you mean by "best friend". If you mean as close as me and my GF are (time doesn't really count here because of long distance - i'm talking about confiding in each other and the depth of our interaction), yeah, that would make me uncomfortable. but if you mean it more loosely as...

    keeping Romance alive..

    i sort of know what you mean. i'm in a similar situation - separated by distance because of college. This is what i've noticed at least for me, it may be different for you. 1. it helps if both of you are in a private area. dorm rooms aren't good for the "romantic" talk because they have their...
