Scared to make a move

[diiiana]

For awhile, I've been moving on from my ex-boyfriend. It's been only a few months but during the summer, it seems like a long time. I recently went out with a fellow Christian brother whom I've had a crush on a year ago. We have been good friends over a year and this outing has been the most fun I've had in a long time. Talking, I have realized we look for very similar things in relationships and in the future. I feel he has been what I've always looked for, but I'm too scared to make a move and am a bit intimidated because I see him as so perfect. Afraid of rejection as well, I have no idea as to what to do. Any ideas or words of advice? Thanks

People are afraid of rejection as well as being put down upon. But take a chance at it. Because it doesn't hurt to ask. As well as lean onto the Lord and His will for you. And He only wants the best for you in your interests. Just pray to Him about your thoughts and fears. Give them all to Him!

Yes -- I certainly agree.

You should keep praying about and for the relationship -- and if he does reject you, think positively about it -- there's reasons that he rejected you and there's lessons that you can gain from that event.

go for it. just let him know what's on your mind. there's no harm in that...right? if you don't, you might regret it in the future. you can't always wait for the guy to say something.

I'd pray for the LORD's direction and then express how you feel. So hard, maybe they're waiting for you to say something, you're waiting for them, bless your heart, pray and proceed would be my advice. Just go slow, guard your heart, the LORD will help you either way. God bless, and keep us posted.

Can I just say....Wow!

It's nice to see confident women in here who are not afraid to take initiative in making the first move. It's a nice change of pace and a refreshing one at that, I may say.

Go for it!

Praying for you and that you will be led in the Lord's direction and way. In thy name, amen.

 

[winglovesall]

Amen to you my friend!

 

[JPPT1974]

Thanks very much my friend!

 

[winglovesall]

Not a single problem with that, my friend!

 

[JPPT1974]

Keep us posted in what you do because if you let God lead and direct you, He will!

 

[winglovesall]

I most certainly agree and thanks!

I agree with covenantwmn you do need to pray about it and get the green light from God. No one likes to be rejected.

You said you just recently started going out with them get to know this person really well. Sometimes we can admire someone from a distance and when we get to know them our views can change. Sometimes we're all guility of making decisions on relationships before we even know the person. Keep praying and asking God for wisdom.
