falling in love...

[fakemind]

ok,
i have just recently started going out with this incredible Christian girl - i mean shes awesome. shes 18 and im 20, and we both goto the same college. we both liked each other but didnt rush into anything - we both were praying about it beforehand. we've only been together a week and im falling in love. i can talk with her for hours, literally hours and never have an awkward or a boring moment. shes cute and makes me laugh and im in awe of her. she has a great love for God and makes me want to get closer to God too. i want to give her everything, all that i am. we both are putting Christ first in our relationship and we have even decided not to kiss until (God-willing of course) we get married. i mean, i havent even held her hand yet and i cant describe how i feel about her. shes just awesome.

now heres where i need some advice. im afraid im falling too fast for her, and im also so afraid im going to loose her. my head is telling me im crazy - we've known each other about 2 months, and have been together only a week; but i cant deny how much i feel for her and care about her and i never want to loose her. i want to shower her with praise and make her happy. - - - this relationship seems perfect, it has God first, we're not gonna go too far physically, and we both like each other a lot.

i just wanted to ask some advice from all you wise Christians out there - gimme some pointers so i dont screw this up! lol

Hi Jeremiah,
I think it is a beautiful thing! I am praying for and with you, and like you said just take it slow. Does she express her feelings towards you? are they the same as yours? I will be praying as love is the greatest gift we could ever give another human being. blessings and peace to you always and best of luck to you always!

My friend take it slowly. It may be the godliness you are falling in love with. As you get to know her, you will find there are things you did not expect. They might hit you square in the forehead if you know what I mean.
Love is never easy. There will always be challenges, my friend. I know first hand. That is ok if you are ready. Be ready.

Whenever you feel yourself falling in love so fast, you can know for sure it isn't love, it's infatuation. True love isn't a feeling, it is a decision. True love can be defined this way:

I know you, I accept you, and I am dedicating myself to your welfare, temporal and spiritual.

After such a short period of time, you don't really know her, you just see parts of her that please you. You accept what you know of her, but you know so little! And you certainly aren't ready to dedicate your life to her welfare.

So, enjoy the emotion of being "in-love," but don't confuse it with love yet. It's probably just physical attraction at this point!

she does express the same feelings towards me, which makes it that much more awesome!

i am taking it slow, prayerfully and patiently taking it slow. i definately dont wanna screw this up, trust me! im ready for any and all challenges. i think the only two things that would break us apart is if it wasnt in God's will or she cheated on me. i trust her completely, so i dont think she'd ever cheat on me. and i cant see this *not* being in God's will - its perfect.

thanx a billion for the advice, it means a lot to me!

much Christian love,
- jeremiah

You definately must take this very slowly and prayerfully.
I will keep you in my prayers Jeremiah!

Just so you know. I hope it all works out for you. I read my earlier post and it is a little negative. I did not mean to come off that way. Love is wonderful. I was not saying you should not take your chances, because there is a good chance your relationship will become an magnificent journey
with a lovely lady. Someone you enjoy always and love to share your adventures through life with. If you continue to draw nearer to God through all of this, it will be even more
extraordinary than you ever dreamed.
That is my prayer for you.
God Bless you.

Slow down, keep God first in your heart, and pray. If she's in His plan for you, it'll happen. If not, He has something better. I'll pray for you two.

Hi Jeremiah,
love is a beautiful gift to be shared, and I am happy for you to be feeling it towards another, that is a blessing to the both of you. I myself am completely in love with someone myself and I know if he asked me to swim across the Baltic Sea, I can tell you this, I would try to find a way, map out my coordinance and jump in! When my heart cares so deeply for someone, when I am talking to him for 7 hours on the phone all night and we are together when the sun comes up, I could not be happier! Best of Luck to you!
Amie
