• 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.

there are girls at my work who flirt with me and say things that can make any man....burn downstairs I guess is the best way to put it. They pretty much say lets do it right here. That is something I am trying to avoid and in doing so I pretty much ignore or avoid a lot of girls at my work. Is this Godly though. I want to be comfortable around them, be able to talk to them, and maybe even talk to them about God. I'm not saying I some kinda player or anything, believe me, I don't think that at all and I'm not bragging or anything if you think I am. Just check out my pic in my profile :) Any advice or council would help. Thanks.

Also, if some girl(s) at work started telling me stuff like that it would immediately trigger my "No Class Alert!" If they didn't have anything more intelligent to say then I'd tell them to shut up and go away.

I don't want to do that though, I want to be able to love them. Not in a sexual way but the way that Jesus loves me. Today I was thinking about it at work and I realized that part of the problem is me, I want them to feel that way about me, I guess it's about pride. Man this sucks, I don't want to be like that anymore.

If it makes you uncomfortable, talk to your supervisor.

If it makes you interested in knowing them more, ask one out on a date.

If you just enjoy the attention and you are not uncomfortable and you don't want to date one of them, I guess I don't see the problem

We all live amongst sinners. Don't be put off my something in the sexual arena. Let them quietly know you adhere to Christian standards. That may get them to back off. BUT, some would see this a real challenge to get you away from your standards.

As with any perosn we must build into a relationship. Ask about their interests, what they did over the weekend etc.

Sometime we meet people who don't seem to have an honest thougfht to rub together. They are just into life in a very superficial way. Theres not that much anyonecan do while a person is at that stage.

Thank you all for your advice, I know that I must be confusing some of you but I didn't mean to. This is a problem I have really never dealt with till now and I am almost just thinking out loud with this thread. Again thanks for the replies and I will consider all of them.
