It's not easy

It's so not easy to acually wait for the right guy. I had/still have a crush on this guy, who is a christian, but he has been walking away from god for years. And whenever someone says something he doesn't like, he get's upset with that person. My old youth paster said something to him, I don't know what, but he is now upset with the youth paster. And I don't understand it, because my old youth paster was an awsome guy, him and his wife. They are very nice people. But This guy I like get's so offended when someone says something against what he is doing.

It was last year, I have known this guy for about three, four years, and slowly my cursh on him has grown. So last year I finally told him how I felt, when he was 'free' because before. I sat back, and I wasn't really looking, I was 16 and even though having a boyfriend would be nice, I wasn't ready for one. So I waited, and I don't just fix on one guy. I try and keep myself open, but after a while it began to be...when ever my crush would come over to the house, or I would see him. It felt like my heart would skip a beat, or i'd get butterflies in my stomach. But around him I always feel safe, and relaxed. Which is a big deal for me because I tence up when i'm around any guy. I get so tence that I go and hide in my room, or go for a walk, anything to get away from it. But not this one guy. So because of this, I started liking him more.

After I told him how I felt, he talked to me. And told me he didn't think he was "boyfriend matirial" He wanted time to find out who he was. And what God wanted to do with him before he tied himself down to another girlfriend. He had just broken up a few days ago with his girlfiriend that he's had for a few years. And I had over heard conversations between my brother and him. And he would say that there wern't many girls out there any more. Or that his ex was his only choise. Because no one was free, or intrested. So I figuared, maybe if he knows i'm free and intrested...it will help. But, he turned me down, as nicely as pocible and I accepted it.

But then, a week later he's dating his ex again. And they're sleeping togeather. Few months later, they brake up again. And she's in a car crash. He was doing better, he was getting close to god again...and now, they're dating again, and he brought her over to the apartment where me and my family live...and he knows no one can stand her, but we're nice to her because it's the christian thing to do. But, it hurts so much, to be turned down and be told that "he's not ready for a girlfriend" and then see him with his ex.

You will get over this! It will not be very easy. It is very common for us to get emotionally wrapped up in others who may have no interest in us. But that is not a reflection on who you are just b/c someone rejects you.

I can see his point of view. He was honest w/you as he could be, he wasn't ready for a new girlfriend. And couples breaking up/getting back together is common, esp. if they are emotionally/physically attached.

There are other guys out there (I hate I have to say this but it's true), so be encouraged. You will fall in love again! :holy:

Pray for him... but I believe that you will find, and that you deserve, someone better. He does not sound like the sort of person that it would be wise to be attached to... you are too likely to be drawn away from your relationship with God.

I understand that rejection isn't easy, though.

Best advice: Patience, and prayer is the best bet for that kind of situation. Don't count on him being the guy you're looking for, but keep your eyes open. Something might change in the future, though I'd recommend not to keep your hopes up.

I've been in situations like that before and it's no fun. :(

Thank you all for your advice. It's really not easy. And I am slowly getting over it. I went through a hard time when that happened. And I still have a hard time with it, because it's not just the 'getting a boyfriend' that I have troubles with. I have trouble with keeping friends. I know a lot of them really arn't my friends, concidering two out of four of them do nothing but yell at me any more becuase of the way I express my relationship with God. And the third one is stuck inbetween the first two, and won't listen to a word I say. And the fourth one, acually introduced me to this site ^-^ so that made me happy.

But, my whole life. I have never been able to hang onto a single friend. I'm going to be 21 years old, and have never had a boyfriend. I know if I pray about it, and just wait God will show me the right one. And I don't want to go through all the wrong ones just to get to the right one. But...I hope you can understand where this would be hard for anyone. Seeing everyone they know getting a boyfriend, or girlfriend, and last month my brother got married, and is now expecting a baby. So...yeah, that's why it's hard for me.

Again, thank you for your advice. And sorry for my rambles.

Just turn your eyes on Jesus
Let Him lead you to the way
That guy is really there but
God will reveal to you in His time and way!
