Hello Everyone,

I have been dating a Woman in my Church now for about 4 months and have been getting along really great. I told her all the good and bad stuff that has happen to me throughout life and vice versa. We seem to be progressing well in our relationship but recently it seems that she is distant from me. I first noticed this when I called her on the phone. I had called her up to make sure she and her best friend made it to a destination where she was flying out of town to attend a wedding. When I spoke to her she seemed as if she wasn't too much wanting to talk to me and was very quick in finding ways to get me off the phone with her. I thought I was just making too much of a big deal about it but once she got back from her trip and called her we did talk for a few minutes but still didn't seem much like she wanted to talk to me. She did just get back from a long flight and was tired I can understand but the next day when I called her again to speak with her I had asked if I can come see her and she didn't seem too enthusiastic about it. She said that she was finishing some work from her job which I did understand and told her to focus on that and text me later when I can come by. I waited several hours to hear back from her and nothing until late in the evening to text me stating that she had gone to bed. It use to be when I would make plans to see her she couldn't wait but now I am getting this impression that she doesn't want to see or talk to me. I really want to talk about this with her but I don't want to seem like I am being Paranoid or making a bigger deal than what it is about this. Is this being Paranoid?

I think you answered your own question, right there. The most detrimental thing to a relationship is the interference of a "Best Friend."

Do you have a reason to be insecure in relationships,something in your past relationships? Or is it just this relationship that has made you feel this way.

I am focused on "this relationship". The past is just that, the past. I have let that go a long time ago. In "this" relationship it is just that something is off. I have been around her long enough to know that something is not right.

Well you are right on that. Normally I would factor the Best Friend as the reason but the Best Friend is the one who actually set us up. She is a friend of mine too so it is not her I can safely say..

Maybe she found another guy and doesn't want you to know? That would explain her hesitation to talk to you anymore..

​I asked about the past because sometimes it affects current relationships.

Yes your right it can. At one point I had an issue trusting women because my ex I was with for 3 years broke up with me and got engage to someone else almost immediately right after that so that affected me for a long time in trusting women but I have gotten past that now..

I hate to think that is the case but I have consider that. Still I want to get the facts first before I decide to do anything..

Hi if you really wanted to know what is going on with her just ask. When I was in a relationship I didn't like the fact that my ex never opened up to me about how he was feeling . Don't be scared to just confront her about it..

I am not scared to confront her about anything. I want to make sure I am not making this into something more then what it is but I think it is time for us to talk about somethings.

Hi azo...You heard that saying Silence is golden...Maybe if you drop all contact from her and sit back, get on with your every day life and see if your silence draws her to contact you, nothing worse then trying to get someones attention and they make you feel awkward :rolleyes:...Then if she does contact you, you will know if she wants the relationship, or whether she is lacking the chase, either way you will get your answer, don`t brood, praise the Lord when doubt comes over you, the enemy will want you to stay paranoid, hope all goes well...xox...

I apologize for using the word scared I mean don't be so hesitate and focused on making a big deal out of it. It's not a big deal at all. The only way to find out for sure is to ask the person that can give you the answer to your question. Good luck and I hope everything works out. :)

Thank you. No apologies needed. I might be a bit on edge with my emotions with this as I finally allowed myself to let someone in my life again and to go through this now is making me rethink stuff..

Yes the enemy does has his tricks. I did send her a message today letting her know that I hope her day is going good so far. Will see if she responds back but in any case I won't do anything until she initiates it as it seems as though I have been doing most if not all the initiating lately..

I agree with the post above,lay back and let her come to you. This is the first time you've felt this way in the relationship Im guessing. So dont jump the gun,take a step back and if she's interested she'll make time for you. You dont want to be doing all the pursuing,you cannot measure how she really feels that way. Take a step back and let her make some effort in the relationship. Its hard to open your heart again,I get that,but if she's not interested you'd rather know sooner than later. But I think you may be jumping the gun a little. Wait and see how she responds.

Yes I think that is what I am going to do. I sent her a message earlier about how her day is going but no response yet. If she doesn't reach out to me at least by the end of the week then definitely something is up and will need to have a serious conversation.

Hey no matter what happens. God loves you the most. If the relationship ends up not working out then God has a better plan for you. Put God first before everything you do and He will give your heart's desires. I wish you the best. God bless.
