Hey all. I realised I never updated you guys who gave advice on what ended up happening.
We chatted, both up front. She said she just didn't have those kinds of feelings for me, I just let her know how I ended up deciding to run it past her again, my guesses and analysis about why she said no the first time were off. Thankful to you guys for your advice, prayers, etc, and to her for being super gracious about it all. I think the chat was a little stressful for both of us, but I think we walked away feeling good about how it went, and that nothing between us or what we do in ministry is broken as a result, which I guess is a good result
