I see a difference in how you describe your relationship with this woman and how you described the evening with this boy. I can't read your mind, but when I post boymoments there is a fondness I reminice on while writing the words to that expereice. I sense that from you as I read about your evening and how you were so moved to invite a boy you'd only met for the first time on another "date". My question is how long did it take you to ask this lady out? Have you had experiences with her that are as meaningful as this evening with this young boy? You said she loves you to death, what of your feelings toward her? Are they just as passionate or is it more a respectful sisterly love or do you think your feelings for her would be enough to commit to a lifelong relationship? Speaking for myself, I came to discover Boylove at the end of a 3 year relationship with a young woman at the college I was attending. I have not dated since, although I still involve myself with the singles' social activities at my church. I respect that you care about your relationship with this woman to consider change or at least prayer for a change in you. I also agree with Dakota that this may be God's call to a certain child. If you were boycrazy, I would think that you would have focused your attention on more than just one boy. Instead, you were drawn to this one. That can be significant, and it is like God to intice us with things He knows will lead us down the path He has chosen for us. Look at how Jesus inticed the disciples to follow him. "I will make you fishers of men." Jesus used a trait that appealed to them. I think that God may have led you to this woman through her son, and I believe you may have a possibility relating to this other child becuase you were drawn to him. My advice is to let things develop on thier own. Don't force a relationship either way. God will open doors and it will be obvious where the right path will lead. Be comfortable with who you are, and don't think you have to change yourself to make this work. Part of God's grace is providing moments like that evening when we need them the most. I think you may have answered this, but is that sig pic one of you? Blessings, Oliver |
