I know I need to be patient. But, I am starting to get lonely and wanting someone to talk to, plus I'm getting bored :(

I know that feeling, I just had to let go of my boyfriend of 10 months, and at first it was really hard. But if you let God fill that void, and put all of your focus on growing in him, you won't feel that way. You won't be bored because you'll be excited to read your bible. You won't be lonely because you can get involved in the body at church and getting to know people who build your character.

Guys? Complicated? You're kidding me right?

I can tell you from experience that most of our fear of asking girls out isn't so much abuot rejection, but the friendship after rejection. In my experience usually the girl gives some form of a 'spiritual' no (that's not what God has for me now, etc, etc.) and then promptly disappears from my life.

Gee whiz people, just tell me flat out you're not interested in me in that way and lets keeping being friends. Is it really so hard?

Yeah. Don't bring God into it unless He is ACTUALLY telling you know.

Sappheire just because you are with someone doesn't automatically mean that you still won't be lonely and bored.
Let me tell you a little story. I know someone who is in a marrige and has children who still feels the same way you do. She got married to this guy before she graduated from high school. After the kids started coming she and her hubby drifted apart and now he has a job that requires him to be on the road alot. She has devoted her whole life to her family and now that the kids are gone and hubby also gone alot of the time, she is a basket case. She never developed any outside friends or interests other than her family and home.What I am trying to say is that you need to find yourself before you get back into a relationship. Try something new, talk to someone new, find a new hobby, get a pet, whatever you think you would like to try. I know that this sounds like the kind of advice you don't want to hear at this point but you need to find other things to fill the void. Besides when you are comfortable with yourself and who you are others find you a whole lot more attractive. :hug:

Try being busy, people usually tell me that helps them avoid loneliness

Actually I don't think that would happen. I might be wrong but I don't.

I think that you should just go on your way though, until he has the courage to step up. Make him be the man. That way you don't have to worry about it.

God can and will fill the void that is if you let Him.
And that you focus growing on Him.
Read the Bible and pray.

Regarding this guy: Ask him. Neither of you may be used to being open and honest with your feelings, but it is important to learn. If he totally avoids you, you haven't lost a good pal, you've lost a guy who can't deal with real life situations, and that's something you don't need in the first place.

In general: Concentrate more on being Miss Right than on finding Mr. Right. Be involved in ministry and serving God, pray for your future husband, wait on God, God will send you the right man when the timing is perfect.

Peace,
John

Just ask him. Nowhere says the bible that a woman can't ask a man how he feels about her.

Some dudes are shy. Some of us have been hurt and fear going through it again. It happens to both genders.

100% true. I've been close to women that I was totally interested in and I never told them. I'm sure every man has been in the same situation at some point or another. Asking a woman out is not as easy as many women think. Sometimes it is very easy, sometimes it is not.

Same here with men.
I have been close to men and were totally interested in them.
But never had the heart to tell them.
Nor got my point out loud and clear.
