• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Well I have a problem. I have been with my gf for a whole year now. but just tonight she said she considered her self single since i never officially asked her out. But i am not sure if she is just joking with me cause she is snarky and everything. She has also been more affectionet towards me and said she wants to be with me saturday but woudlent give me a direct answer on what to do.

Now my older bro 's say i shoudlent be with her since she isent christian but im just not sure what to do.

I'm basicly giving her a valentines dya card than is thanking her for the relaitonship and being with me in case it is a joke. My friend said not to waste hte time and be more well improper about it. But i tried to explain to him im taking a more christian approach to this so as you can see im kind of torn by what she says/ may be thinking, family, and friends.

The other thing now is im just so angry and it feels like i want to cry but i wont let myself. I was really starting to fall and care for her deeply. But I dont let anyone play me. I still need to find the truth but i dont know if i should do it over the phone to prevent saturday from happening or just do it face to face. I want to be a man about it and that seems to be face to face.

Well, perhaps she just wants you to show her you care. So, go ahead, ask her out "Officially". After all, why risk destroying a beautiful relationship? Go ahead - show her that you care for her. Can't go wrong that way. :)

I guess i can see where your coming from but it just feels like she was playing me. I guess the easiest way to some up how I have dealt with people before is to quote papa roach's song blood "I will forgive but i wont forget and you have lost my respect" but its different for this it seems i want to work but my friends say im just in denial. Im trying to look at this from every aspect.

Misunderstandings can cause terrible problems with relationships - that I know for sure, my friend. I reckon the safest option is to show her your romantic side. The way she repsonds will give you certainty indeed. That way, you won't have to regret anything.
