missionseeker Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 [quote name='Archaeology cat' post='1813172' date='Mar 21 2009, 04:33 AM']Been there (on the girl's end of things). Not always fun, to be sure, but I've gained some incredible guy friends who always have my back. And when I finally let go and gave it to God, everything started falling into place. One of those guys I hung out with all the time is now my husband. But it happened after I finally stopped being obsessed/worried about finding a boyfriend and just focused on enjoying the time with my friends and letting things develop as they would (with lots of prayer in there, too). Yep.[/quote] yup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Wednesday Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 [quote name='saintwannabe 777' post='1812688' date='Mar 20 2009, 10:10 PM']Thanks for the advice Ash. (feel like im in one of my pokemon dreams from when I was ten years old lol) But like I said, I don't want a relationship but I just want to know what it feels like to have a girl like you. Its getting kinda lonely. I know I'm a little young but ever since my Older Bro Jesus promised me that he had my future wife for me, I just want to know her, I want to see her, I love her already. I pray for her, pray to her guardian angel, and I pray for patient, but I just want to see the girl that my Bro prepared for me since the foundation of the world.[/quote] I don't think you'll fully know what it's like until you get there. Maybe the longing you're experiencing will just make it all the more sweeter when you reach wherever it is God is leading you to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like that. [quote name='saintwannabe 777' post='1812679' date='Mar 20 2009, 11:05 PM']Girls have denied me because they say they like me better as a friend. Over time, I realized that the Lord is preparing me for the moment when I will be ready for my future wife. I just want to know what it feels like to have a girl like you, even if you don't want to pursue a relationship and want to remain friends.[/quote] honestly... when I'm truly attracted to a guy, it's because of their faith. I love guys who love God. there are other, more superficial reasons I'm attracted to a guy, but the truest and deepest attraction comes when I can tell a guy is in love with our Heavenly Father. keep strengthening your relationship with Him, and you'll come out fine. as far as knowing what it's like when a girl likes you... I'm guessing there are a few out there who do who just haven't told you. I can't count the number of guys I think are cute that have no idea that i think that (and I'm not talking about the kind of guy that girls usually think are "hot", I'm talking about normal guys. and maybe some nerds, because nerds are cute. ) and while i totally understand wanting to know that someone of the opposite sex likes you, wouldn't it be worse if they let you know and you didn't like them back? because then they would get hurt. or what if you did like them back and didn't think it was the right time to date? they would get hurt then, too. don't worry about it and keep praying about it; your time will come.

tinytherese Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 (edited) Sometimes over time friends become couples. I have a friend who whines that there are hardly any decent guys (and I've known plenty of other girls who say that no man is decent.) So you've gotta wow the ladies by your character to show that not all men are dumb perverted jerks. The friend of mine that whines told me that most of the good guys that she knows are in the seminary which she totally thinks is unfair. The seminarians at her school are polite, even giving up their seats when there is no room for someone. She wonders why the other guys don't do that. So basically the laymen are getting shown up for those discerning a call to the priesthood. Every girl wants to be treasured, respected, and loved. So do that for the ladies in your life. Maybe someday one of the girls that you give advice to will realize what a catch that she has been friends with. I also know that some girls that have been in abusive relationships or even have had an abusive relationship with their own dad's that they expect to be continually treated that way and when an honorable man starts treating her right she just doesn't know what to do? "Wait, this is freaky. This isn't how relationships with guys have been like in my past. I thought that those were how relationships had to be." So you've got to be patient and understanding of girls like these. Edited March 23, 2009 by tinytherese Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, many of my friends that are girls look up to me and come to me for advice because the Lord has blessed me with spiritual wisdom. But in the past, whenever I tried to pursue a crush, I always stay in the friend-zone. I now have discerned that my Older-Bro Jesus doesn't want me to have a girlfriend at this point. But still, i just want to experience having a girl like me and liking her back even if i'm not in a relationship. I know that Jesus and His Holy Mother and many saints own my heart right now and I pray for my future wife always. But I just want to know, what do Catholic girls look for in a dude and is it normal that many girls would rather come to me for advice and stay close friends with me than to like me at this age? I also want to know if there's any of my Sistas in Christ who feel the same way.[/quote] Awwwww darling you sound like the 'nice guy' type. You know, the dependable kind of guy, the emotional crutch, he respects girls so much but is confused how a "great" guy like himself can't get a girl and they only ever want to be friends. But nevermind one day you'll find a girl who accepts you for the way you are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
