Admin	In Other News... Posted : 31 Aug, 2010 08:49 PM I've also been talking to this really wonderful girl I met on here for a week or two now on yahoo (I wonder if she reads these. lol) and I guess I'm just so used to thinking that love and interest is really conditional when it comes to chicks and now that that doesn't seem to be the case I guess I'm just not used to it or afraid I'll do something wrong. I pretty much have the pursuing strangers thing figured out, but now it's a different kind of pursuing. I think it's just that I need to figure out how to be comfortable without being complacent. Or wonder if she'll up and leave for no reason, or I'll let my guard down too much or too soon. And by now considering my other posts I am all over the map and you're all probably thoroughly confused. Sorry. I guess there could be worse problems to have. lol. I guess it's that I'm not used to being in a relationship that is actually GOOD and I wonder if something random will come up, where she'll leave and I won't understand what happened. Unlikely as that seems and as different as this is, but that's all I'm used to girls doing to the point where I've gotten used to talking to girls totally detatched and now that it's starting to look like it's something long haul I'm afraid to attach I guess. I guess I'm just so used to there always being something that comes up and I wish I wasn't so uneasy about it since there's more reason to be than not to be and I'm just trying to figure out what it means. I know better than to trust infatuation, but this isn't infatuation, which is what is odd to me. New territory. Just had to share. Thanks for reading. Post Reply
Tulip89 View Profile History	In Other News... Posted : 31 Aug, 2010 09:14 PM Congratulations man. You're a step ahead of me. My date for tonight never showed and didn't ever text or call me back. God has his subtle ways of telling someone a girl isn't for them and then there's the way he has to tell me. Last time something like this happened, a girl cancelled our date to fly to Chile on a whim. Apparently I'm bull-headed or something. He also knows when we're getting frustrated, jaded, etc., and has all kinds of ways of not only restoring our faith in Him, but also restoring our love for others. Post Reply

Be yourself and keep God at the centre of the relationship. Remember that it's all about glorifying Him @Tulip- I am so sorry =( *hugs* I think you have an amazing attitude, though, which is encouragement to me. Post Reply
Tulip89 View Profile History	In Other News... Posted : 1 Sep, 2010 08:18 AM Thanks Pixy. A long time ago I realized that I wasn't concerned with a long string of girlfriends anymore, and that what I really wanted was a wife. A girl who isn't interested in me just means I'm one closer to finding my wife. It isn't a reflection on me for being less valuable a person, and it isn't a reflection on her for not liking me. What is a reflection on her, though, is the way she handled it. If she's the kind of person who bails on a date by just not calling and never showing up, I doubt we would have gotten far as a couple.
