So this lady and her mom (I think) came into my shop tonight right when I had to close, so I had to stay open until they were finished. So while they shopped I (as a part of my job) interacted with them and talked to them. The younger one continuously interrogates me and I respond humbly each time I answer, she gets intrigued. She begins complimenting me on my character and then she asks if I'm a Christian, to which I gladly say I am and show her my ring with a cross punched through it. She becomes excited and says "and THAT'S why I love you." and continues to interrogate me never once did she take her eyes off of me. She says she goes to one of the Church of Christ congregations here in town. I had a few interruptions so I wasn't able to tell her which church I go to. Because I don't to to church often, and when I do it's sometimes two different churches. Anyway, we continue to talk and eventually by the time they were leaving I was too stricken by this woman that I forgot to ask her name,.. As she was leaving I wished her and the woman she was with a goodnight, to which she replied "bye sheep, see ya". Nobody has ever called me that, neither have they just tell me they love me right then and there like that. The impression left on me by her is remarkably fascinating, it leaves me questioning,.. Was that the Holy Spirit bringing to my attention someone worth while? I feel right now as if I need to see her again, just to find out. The only way I would be able to do that is by the grace of God that He brings her back, or that I go to each Church of Christ congregation in town and find her,.. It may seem a bit "stalkerish", but I honestly feel like God is giving me these feelings for a reason, so how do I figure it out?

I wasn't there but my opinion based on your post........she was just flirting with you. Nothing more or less. Wouldn't surprise me if she happened to just "pop up" in the store again in the near future.

I think if she's genuinely interested, she'll find an excuse to visit your place of employment again. Specifically to give the two of you the opportunity to learn each other's names.

I could be wrong, but that's what I think.

I'm sure you're a great guy and all, but why would she say she loves you after a conversation? To me that's a little much. However, I do agree with the previous two posters. If she's interested she'll come back.

I say stuff like that sometimes when I'm flirting too. I'm pretty sure the girl didn't literally mean it like "I'm in love with you".

See, when I flirt, I don't say I love you, because that's just crazy. I may say that I love things about them, but I don't say that I love them. Something like that should be sacred.

Don't get caught up in emotions. A cute girl comes in, gushes over you and now you're smitten. That doesn't make it God, that makes it she knew which buttons to press to get your attention. Honestly, if a stranger told me she loved me after one conversation, i'd be leery of her. That is not normal behavior. And i would not go hunt her down at her church. IF it is of God, God will continue to act. And if that's the case, then you can begin taking action. But i suggest keeping your smitten desires in check and not rushing into anything. You really have no clue what kind of person this girl really is. Be wise.

It's all about context. The context your thinking about it in, yea....it's definitely crazy.......in the context of playful joking around, it's just flirting.

I'll give you an example

Guy: I really like Italian food, it's my favorite
Girl: Really? Me too, I know how to cook the best pasta you ever tasted
Guy: I love you :p, let's get married

That's just flirting, it's not an actual statement of romantic love.....and it's not an actual proposal either. Even if the girl says "Ok, lets go to Vegas right now"......both parties know it's not an actual engagement and they're not gonna hop in the car and go to vegas....it's just flirting.

I appreciate the feedback, but only I understand the context in which it was said, and I want to know why God had her say it that way. Nothing happens for no reason, and to be honest,.. I've never had someone express unconditional love to me like that before (besides The Lord that is). I know the reason why she said it, but I need to know why she felt it. I've been flirted with before when someone said "I love you", this was something completely different. This woman saw exactly who I am in a short amount of time.

Do not consider me unwise if I pursue this, for if it is God's will, it shall be done. If it isn't, it won't. So if He so chooses to have my desire remain as is, I will do as I am told.

P.S. When she called me sheep, I believe she was referring to me as a member of the body of Christ.

So what was the purpose of coming on here and asking advice if you're going to ignore everyone?

Because I wanted to hear what others think about it lol. See if what they say jives with what God is telling me and so far, they all kinda have in one way or another.

You don't need to worry about it.

She knows where to find you...
she can stalk you at will.

Sheep, as in I am a sheep and the Lord is my Shepard... yes, a follower of Christ.

I say the one thing that you should get out of all of this is that you should go to church...call it a Hebrews 10:25 moment ;)

It wouldn't hurt to go to the church. If it works out then great, if not, you get a good sermon (I hope) good luck.
