I've been in this situation many times. It's difficult because I truly cared for these girls and would have been willing to do anything for them. SOME of them even claimed to want to follow God, or even knew him but they weren't quite on the path of Christianity, either deceived or didn't care about God at all. I tried to do everything I could to show them the truth but they simply put didn't want it and that would shatter my heart and what eventually happened was I finally came to terms that no human can truly save another person, only God can, we can plant the seeds but its God who grows them.. and when he's growing them let me say they will be far from a relationship candidate as the process is typically quite painful .. in short.. its not a good idea to attempt to try to become a romantic partner with someone who is not on the same level spiritually as yourself, even if you're witnessing to them, compatibility wise they MUST be on the same spiritual level or close or the relationship will eventually fail.
Best wishes and prayers to you.
Amen..I totally agree..and it can can also be a trap by the enemie where he can uses your attraction for them to put you into an emotional trap....and you end up getting hurt.
South_FLA sometimes girls who are not christian can also seem more attractive than christian girls sometimes when your all young ect as hormones send things like sexual awareness and the vigour of youth can occassionally appeal more than being amongst young christian girls as there is a totally different dynamic as they are christian and their moral compass is opposite to girls who are not saved.
Question...say the girl you like says she likes you and wants to date you....how would you cope with her lifestyle??how would you cope with her if she wanted to have sex/sexually intimate with you??.. Might be a real struggle for you and sometimes a young attractive female can be very seductive to a vulnerable young man.
I was once really attracted to a really lovely girl at the local super market many years ago and we both stared at each other whenever I shopped in the store.she was extremley attractive and all I had to do was chat to her and without a doubts we would be dating.Yet I just couldn't do it..It was hard..yet I knew I just had to walk away..And once she was serving on the till and we locked eyes and it was so tempting to let her serve me..but I kind of looked away and made a different member of staff serve me..I could see that this action did offend her and after that she just kinda ignored me..
When your're gods child..there are many things to walk away from and it can be painful..but it is our eternity at stake here and in this area satan would love to mess us up with a person who is no way right for us.I have ignored gods warnings occassionally
And believe me I have suffered in every way...and bitterly regretted it all..
