In a waiting room. Need inputs...

[Lia]

Howdy y'all...

I've been talking to this Godly guy I met on a Christian website back in January. So we've been interacting through phone and online for 6 months now but never met in person (he lives in the Mid-Southern State and I'm in North East state). I feel like I know him but I don't. We've been talking to have him visit me here since last month but his work and schedule prevented him to come here so we had to keep rescheduling his trips. It frustrates me (and I know him too) because we really look forward to meeting each other and possibly start a courtship if all goes well. I'm so confused right now.. does God really want us to meet? Last time we talked on the phone, we actually prayed about this together and will try to reschedule his trip again this week (me visiting him would be out of question). I'm getting impatient and anxious now.

What do you guys think? Is this normal to feel this way or even have this situation? Do you think we should just wait longer or is this a sign that we shouldn't meet at all?

Any inputs/comments are welcomed. Thanks.

I am actually in the same boat as you...I met a really great Christian guy through Fusion 101, and we talk a ton online and we have talked once on the phone. He has talked about meeting me, but nothing has happened yet so far. I have been praying about us, and I am not sure that it is God's will that we date, though. I still want to meet him just as friends first, though. I think it is important to meet after all the talking.

I guess just keep praying about it, and follow what you feel is God's will. Only you can know that! My personal opinion is that you shouldn't stress about it so much, and meet him as friends. If you both see fit to continue after meeting, great. Don't let it go too long only online, though, because you both may start imagining the perfect person, and the actual meeting may be a disappointment.

Well, first of all, God already let you "meet," just not face-to-face yet. God telling you to wait is not the same as God telling you no.

Secondly, I don't believe in signs. If you look anywhere for a "sign," you'll find one and make it be able to fit your agenda.

If you and this guy like each other and mutually want to meet in person, don't give up.

Blessings,

I've been trying to see someone too but he is in the military and American, I'm Canadian... it can be hard.

Anyways, I hope it all works out.

Well, I just talked to him earlier tonight... this past week had been rough on us.

I was very anxious and I found out that he was really close on getting that ticket to my place, then suddenly he felt 'uneasy' about it. He wasn't even sure why he felt that way.

He asked me if we should continue praying about this for the next few days and talk about it later. But I really feel drained of the long waiting and if he feels uneasy/unpeaceful about it - then I should really not getting myself dragged along longer. So I finally said, let's just go ahead and move on.

I still don't understand why he felt uneasy all of the sudden and believe in the "sign". But I really took his words for it and didn't ask him specifically. I won't deny that there's a big dissapointment on my part, yet I feel peace at the same time (maybe the fact that I've been waiting too long and I'm just glad that I have an answer).

Oh well... I thought all these months that he could've been the one. Everything was great and I still respect and think highly of him. I can't completely understand but I believe that God is in control.
