  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

There’s this guy, Ben that I really like! We always got to go out together but always in a group! In this group, there’s this girl, HURT who will always put up a grumpy face as if I've offended her. Her attitude really puts me off and made me feel very bad about myself and gives me a feeling that i shouldn;t get close to Ben. I even asked Ben is there something I did that upset her! He just brushed it off and said nothing at all. And I didn’t really go and think about it.

My feeling for Ben was so great that I feel the need to declare my feelings to him. :pink:

Before my declaration, I asked him if he has got a girlfriend. He answered “NO”.

Then I even ask him if there’s anything between him and HURT, He said “NO”

:pray: Before that I prayed to God for the courage and strength. With that, I told him my feelings to him. It jus feel so great to tell him my feeling. He didn't reject me straight away and he was man enough to said “Thank for my frankness and he appreciated it. I accepted the answer. Just hoping we still can be friend.

After that, nothing much happened; we still went out as usual.

Until one day, I heard from a friend that both of Ben and HURT are indeed a couple. My world came crashing down. I feel so deeply hurt and betrayed! :mad: It’s like from the beginning my instinct are correct! Why does he have to lie to me in the first place, coz of all the girls I told myself if he has got a girlfriend, I hope it won’t be HURT!!!!! :cry:

I confronted Ben about the whole matter and he jus told me there’s something that he can’t tell me right now! And that he said that for some reason he can't annouce his relation with HURT to everyone!!! I just felt so lost and sad thereafter.

I seem to get over it now but deep down it still hurt whenever I heard or see them together! And I think I still can’t let go (I’m still trying to learn to let go!!!!). The problem is HURT don't know I like Ben! And I have to pretend and can't tell anyone they are a couple!!!!

I'm glad to have friends who stood by me when I fell and need a shoulder to cry on. I'm believing God will give me a better one. Someone who will cherish and love me but MUST love God first. :pink:

From what you said in your post Highly Favoured, it seems pretty sure that God has somebody in mind for you. I can't imagine many men who would wouldn't want a Christian woman who has the courage to speak her mind so openly and be so bold. Well, I can't imagine and CHRISTIAN men who wouldn't want that.:)

:hug: to you Highly Favoured. I know this situation has hurt you and more than confused you. But, I don't think you did anything wrong in it. You were very honest with your feelings to Ben and you should be proud that you had the courage to do so. It isn't easy to share your heart with someone when you don't know how they will receive it. And looking at his actions, I don't think he is someone I would want to trust my heart to at this point in time.

I truly believe that all things happen for a reason. Sometimes it may be a long time before we know what that reason is and sometimes we may never know. I don't know why Ben felt he needed to lie to you, or why he needs to keep his relationship with HURT a secret from everyone. Maybe he has good reasons, maybe he doesn't. Things sound very complicated for this young man and maybe it is a good thing not to be involved with him in a romantic relationship at the moment. Perhaps God has someone that won't have to hide his feelings for you all picked out. I think that if I were with someone, I wouldn't want it to be a secret from the world.

Continue to seek the Lord and He will be faithful to heal your pain and show you what He has planned for you. :hug:

Highly Favored,

Have someone decieve you and cause you so much confusion and hurt is not fun! Been there done that! I know how you feel. They way I have learned to look at something like this is that if they don't have enough consideration for me to tell me the truth, and be honest with me. Then that is not someone that I need in my life.

Seek God and trust in Him, and he will heal your pain. In His due time, he will give you soemone worthy of your love.

Highly Favoured I feel really deeply for you. But, you can feel really good about the fact that you were completely open and honest and true to yourself. And now you have an idea about what this guy is really like, you know he's not worth it and hopefully you can start to get over him. If he had any honour at all he would have told you when you poured your heart out that he wasn't interested and at least saved you the pain of hoping in vain. I think that he has played terrible games with your beautiful heart and certainly doesn't deserve your love. Try to avoid him and HURT if you can, you don't need any more hurt. And, as everyone else has said, you obviously have a great deal to offer someone who is worthy of you and that guy will be around in time. :hug:

Thanx for all the encouragement. Feel much better now.

That's what I've been thinking. He is not the man God has in mind for me. I deserve someone who will love me more. I put my faith and trust in God that :

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. (Jeremiah 29:11)

God has a time for everything He do, I see it as a test for me to strengthen me and to build my faith. God is always with me, he won't abandon me.

Praise God
