two parts....has this happened to you / I need advice!
Posted : 10 Jul, 2010 09:23 PM

Part 1:

I have been on this site for awhile now and I love the chat forums and look forward to the great advie and knowledge from other believers, however, when it comes to the purpose I'm here for, which is to find a Christiand woman...I always seem to find someone who is far away and never someone that is close. This would be okay except that the relationship always seems to fade away. I'll meet someone and we'll both think that the other is very interesting and attractive. We'll email back and forth for awhile, maybe send a few winks but eventually, I think because of the distance, we slowly stop emailing as often or the responses get shorter and shorter. I feel it is because we both come to realize that because of the distance...we could never be more than friends. Just wondering how often this happens with others on here and how can we change that?? What can we do to attract local christians??



Part 2:

This kind of goes with the before mentioned segment. I have met a beautiful young lady on here and when I say beautiful I mean she seems to be as gorgeous on the inside as on the outside but she lives way over seas. We email each other on a pretty regular basis and I'm always looking forward to recieving her emails...yet because of the distance both of us have come to realize that we may never meet. We both have made comments of wishing we lived closer together and how we'd like to have a deeper relationship but we just simply can't because of the distance. A part of me thinks I need to continue looking for that special someone God may be calling me towards and another part of me thinks that may be she is it and for some reason this is just a bad practical joke from God...I have never had luck with the ladies so to speak and it just seems more discouraging than ever when you think you might have found someone but you'll never be able to meet....I asked for advice and I'll still take some but maybe what I really need is some encouragment from my brothers and sister. I know that all of us on here are lonely and looking for that special someone but I have lived 26 years of my life single and never knowing that feeling of love...whether or not it was false and I thought it was love or whether it was the real thing. I feel like time is running out for me.

Dear Storm,



I understand your frustration and heartache. I'm in a similar situation. I've been talking to a guy that I really like for about a couple of months, but we live too far a part to meet. We've decided to keep talking and hopefully evenutally we will be able to meet. However, we've both expressed that we're okay with each other dating someone closer to us if someone came along that we'd like to date. Neither of us want to keep the other from meeting the person God has intended for us. Maybe you could do something like that with the girl you're talking to. Maybe you could agree to be okay with each other dating other people since you're not able to date each other right now. If someone comes along that you end up liking better and feel that God is leading you to be with, then you and your girl overseas could just remain friends. However, if it's meant to be with you and your girl overseas, God will make it happen. I recently read a story about a couple on this site. You may want to check out their profile- it's really inspiring and heartwarming- they're listed under username: justinNrebecca

They lived far apart but after talking with each other for a while they decided they could meet at an airport. Although meeting for a first date at an airport may not be most desirable, it works great if you can't afford to do anything else or don't have the time to do anything else due to work or for whatever reason. Justin and Rebecca realized that they really cared for each other and were willing to move to be closer. Maybe you could meet your girl overseas at an airport sometime just to see if you do really click and want to invest in getting to know each other more in person.



I really hope and pray for you that God gives you serenity and peace in knowing that He's in control. He has designed each of our love stories and like other responders have said, no boudaries or boarders will stop Him. Keep faith and as much patience as you can. God knows what's best for both or you and will work things out as they are meant to be in time according to His plan. Best wishes and God Bless!
