Hey everyone!

I’m reaching out tonight to ask several questions on some much needed advice on a girl I’m talking to.

So to keep almost 98% of her info private for obvious reasons,me and her have almost everything in common and she states she’s a Believer who loves Jesus,I met her on upward and we’ve been out to dinner twice now,but not dating.Shes amazing.but I’ve been talking to her to get to know her better.And her story is she grew up in church strayed away 3 years ago and is now having faith in Christ again,like the prodigal son.

Something that worries me however is when we were talking about her past.
She is a virgin like me thankfully,but she says she used to party,drink,use nicotine and even smoked marijuana.

But I asked her if she repented and she says she wavers back and forth on convictions,about her old life but considers herself not repented or at least thinks she isn’t,but I see her a different human than what she described.

Obviously I’m totally able to forgive that past her and look ahead but I am seeking Godly counsel on this matter,if I should continue to get closer to her or keep distance for awhile until she matures.
I like her a lot but I want to be absolutely safe at the same time,it’s a lot of internal conflict


I wasn’t perfect at all when I first came to know Jesus at 15,I still had lots of sin in my life that has long since vanished,so it’s a possibility she’s experiencing the same thing but faith is extremely important and a number one priority when it comes to relationships

Sometimes what someone most needs in their journey to holiness is someone else who can be Christ for them. Faith doesn't guarantee perfection in our human frailty. As a priest friend of mine likes to say, the struggle is the victory. What does she mean when she says she doesn't consider herself fully repented?
