Serious prayer

[NaturallyGone]

Hey guys. Need prayer regarding a girl. (For those of you who follow me and my threads, 2 things: 1) I know, you're probably like "wow. he's into another girl". I get that a lot. It's just how God made me. 2) Why do you follow my threads? lol. I don't post that many lately.) Anyways, last Wednesday, we had some people come who hadn't come to church in a while, and then we had 2 guests come. One of the guests came in with the two returning people, and the second one came in towards the end cause she got lost. The lost one is the girl. When prayer requests were brought up, she mentioned she had a job interview the next day, and we prayed for it as well as some other ones. Fast forward to Saturday night. I shot her a message asking her how the job interview went. She told me how it went, and then we got to talking. Now, it started out as me just genuinely wondering how it went. Then, as her and I started talking, I realized I really do care about her. Now, unlike previous times, when I've tried rushing into things, I don't want to rush this, or even try to. I want to take the time to get to be friends first, and then, if we both are feeling it, take the next step.

That's proving to be a lot harder than I thought it would be. It's just so easy to talk to her, and I've found myself flirting with her and, to the best of my knowledge, she's flirted back. I really want to just start out as friends. So, if you guys could just pray for me to be able to find the patience I need to try to control/conceal how I feel about her, and prayer as to guidance as to if a relationship with her is in God's plan for my life, that would be great. I kind of want to just be completely honest with her about how I'm feeling, but at the same time, I'm nervous/scared about doing it (which is really kind of ironic cause I'm doing a series based on In A Pit With A Lion On A Snowy Day by Mark Batterson, and one of the things i'm gonna be talking about in 2 days is facing your fears). So..... yeah.....
