I am in a dating situation with a girl and although we aren't *together*, we are very close friends. She is currently in the process of figuring out how she feels about me and has very conflicting feelings. We've faced many obstacles in our friendship/relationship, including a 4 year age difference and the fact that it is extremely hard for us to see each other (despite living in the same metro area) but always made it through them. We are very open with each other, have a way of working through difficult times, and have helped each other through personal insecurities and situations. Recently, she stopped talking to me for no apparent reason and doesn't answer calls or emails (which I have not been sending excessively). My friends and family pretty much unanimously agree that this whole thing is a lost cause and that I should give up, but in my heart, I know that what we have is worth fighting for and is too awesome and precious to give up on. This apparent silent treatment on top of other things has caused alot of anxiety, heartache, and worry, even though I know she would say something to me if she were angry. Right now, I need to trust God rather than myself to resolve this situation and make it turn out for the best. I need my anxiety and worry to be replaced with peace and knowledge that this will work out and that I needn't worry. I guess what I need from you guys is your prayers, encouraging words, and reassurance that this will all be okay in the end.

Her trying to figure out her feelings for you, then she all the sudden gives you the silent treatment. Sounds like she figured them out already. Im sorry i know this must be a tough situation for you to be in. Just prayed for you

Hi jimbo99, consider this, if there was a perfect person , that wanted everything that is truelly good and perfect for you. With everything that you need as their comitment in their love for you. Would'nt you want this person to be the one you trust?
That one is God Our Father, we all spend most of our life looking for this, when we have this one already in God Our Father!
You are in my prayers.
In Jesus, God bless. pickles
