    Letting go and giving it all to God

    Ive been struggling with stopping myself from liking a sister in Christ for 10 months now. And it's been hard. I expressed my interest to her and got rejected being told we don't really understand each other. The next night she ends up telling me hadn't gotten over her previous relationship yet...

    Anger issue?

    I've found that I can snap at people when I get annoyed by what they say or do. Tonight at our leader's meeting, the guys and girls were going to split off and I was telling one of our guy leaders to go with the guys. One of the girls just jokingly said "Bob is a girl, he can stay with us". I...

    Not sure what to do in my situation

    In the middle of last year I started to like a friend at church whom I found to be very Godly and loving. I thought we got along alright and so I approached her and asked for her thoughts on dating/relationships. In that conversation, she tried to be as loving as she could and told me she didn't...

    Remaining friends

    I'm stuck in a rut liking my friend from church and learning how to control my feelings. I already approached her about it and she only sees us as friends. We've been serving in the young adults ministry together over this year and I've been trying my hardest not to make things hard/awkward...

    Lack of enjoyment in anything

    I'm not sure what my issue is, but I've realised that I don't really have a strong appreciation for anything in particular. I stopped video games a few years ago because I find them to be a waste of time. I don't hang out with my close bunch of school friends as often (non-Christians) because...

    In need of prayer

    4 months ago, I began to realise I really liked a friend. Loving, godly, always working hard for the gospel. I approached her about whether dating/relationships would be a possibility, but she declined me saying we didn't get along. So basically, friend zoned. No interest. In terms of head...

    What do the women look for in a man?

    Character? Personality? Interests? Values? Appearance? What does matter for the females? Because I'm quite confused

    Does persistence work?

    Seems unrealistic, but I'm curious if there are any couples out there where the lady was initially not interested or only saw the guy as a friend. But through persistence by the guy or time, things changed? And what happened?

    Stuck in a rut

    Hi everyone, The last time I posted in the singles forum was relating to being friend zoned by a sister in Christ from my church whom I had an interest in (first time I've felt strongly attracted to someone for their godliness - quite self sacrificial, critical of herself in terms of needing to...

    Where to go from here?

    So basically, I really like my co-leader from church because she's a really godly woman. But I didn't want to do anything about it because I didn't want to affect the ministry we are serving together in and I didn't want it to affect our relationship either. I prayed constantly to God to trust...

    Intent

    Being an introvert, I analyse things a lot, particularly my intentions into why I do things and why I think the way I do. It may be a lack of confidence...or it may be because I'm an overly analytical person...I'm not sure... Some things I'm thinking about now relates to liking a co-leader...

    Relationships meanings: to like someone?

    I believe Christians. when dating/courting, should be looking someone as a potential life time partner with whom they can serve God together. In time, and God willing, I do want to have a wife and family whom I can help live in godliness and for the glory of God. There are females whom I...

    Christians and emotions

    So emotions are part of being human, but we need to control these emotions in ways that are loving to God and to others. Biblically, it is fundamental that everything we do is out of love and for the glory of God. But what about when it comes to having crushes or having feelings for someone...

    Question for the girls

    This is just in response to JesusSaved's thread for the guys asking what they look for in girls. Whether you're a guy or girl, I would say that we should care first and foremost about how God sees us. But I'm assuming there will be some particular things you would prefer, otherwise any Jesus...

    Struggling to cope with this thing called feelings

    I really need to vent some things out. So please bear with me. I've been a Christian for about 7 years, and being rather unemotional and level headed most of the time, this actually seems like I'm having feelings and interest for someone seemingly for the 'right' reasons. There's a...

    Friendzone

    1 Do Christians think we can be friendzoned? 2 What's everyone's definition of being friendzoned? (is there a time frame or a threshold in the friendship that needs to take place before being categorised?) 3 Is it something that can be reversed? Or are you locked into friendzone once you've been...

He's 19 turning 20 this year, but the youth are all in high school. His good friend J and a couple other friends that go to his uni...

    Question about age difference

    Hi there, I'm not one who jumps into relationships, but sometimes I feel that I think too much and don't act. I've been praying about it and reading the bible to find some peace. Still don't know what to do. So I'd appreciate some thoughts from Christians on my issue. I have developed feelings...

    Being shy, is it unloving?

    As Christians, we are called to love God and to love our neighbour. I don't think its necessarily and totally unloving, but on occasion I have viewed my shyness as something that prevents me from being more loving to others, particularly strangers and people I don't know well. I can come across...

    Thinking about relationships

    I haven't had a girlfriend since high school not because I set high standards nor because I'm a pushover nice guy who finishes last. But it has been more of a personal choice in not wanting or needing a girlfriend. I feel that I shouldn't be looking for the 'perfect partner', but rather I should...
