The story in a nutshell: We were friends who clicked immediately when we first met, we ended up becoming more than friends since we were quite attracted to each other and felt a connection…and he all of a sudden backed out of it mainly because of our age difference (I am about 5 and half years older), and the fact that he’s still in college and I’ve been out of college for a few years makes the maturity levels not line up. When he backed out of it, I was really hurt but I understood it was the wrong time. I became angry at him, we didn’t speak for some time…and he has recently come back into my life. I’ve been praying for this to happen, and now that it has, I’m feeling confused again.

When we spend time together though, it’s great and wonderful and it could be for hours. We get along well, and have similar interests and feel very comfortable around each other. I thought I had let him go, but now I’m experiencing those feelings again, and can’t stop thinking about it, to the point it’s hurting and not healthy. I had been interested in someone else for a while and realized it was more of a ‘rebound’ interest, and he confided in me when we last spent time together that he liked another girl. Oddly, I wasn’t really jealous at all. I’m just happy we’re friends again. Now it’s getting to – wanting to be with him again that way. I no longer know who to turn to except my God/my faith.

Please pray for me, everyone for the grace to get through this…also for peace and contentment in my relationship with God. I really just want more than anything to be open to whoever God wants me to be with, and not just have this immense focus on this one person.

Thank you so much!
 
As you grow older, five years will mean little, but at this stage there can be a difference in maturity.
Whatever You know is best for these two persons, our God, let unfold and be welcomes.
Whether their future is together or apart, grant them to love You above all, and others as respectfully and carefully as they would like to be cared for themselves.
Let Your loving will be fulfilled in all aspects of their lives.
Thank You, our good God

Praying…
 
May you and your friend have a holy relationship together, whether you date again or just remain friends. May the Lord give you His peace and His blessings. Amen.
 
Deliver us, Lord, from every evil, and grant us peace in our day. In your mercy keep us free from sin and protect us from all anxiety as we wait in joyful hope for the coming of our Savior, Jesus Christ.

Amen.
 
Thank you so much, everyone, for the prayers. I feel peaceful just reading these messages.

My friend and I actually met singing at the same choir at our church, and we both are devout Catholics. I’m having a hard time letting it go, in part, because I see so much of what I want in a future husband in him, especially being a faithful Catholic. It’s in God’s hands though, not mine.

Thanks again, friends.

Thank you again, everyone, for your prayers! I’m still up and down about this, so please do keep praying 🙂
 
I know it’s been a few months since I’ve posted, but basically things have gotten better. We’re pretty good friends now. It’s still a struggle for me on most days. I have so much fear of the future of our friendship. I know I shouldn’t worry so much, but I do. I worry sometimes about every interaction we have…it’s not healthy. I mean, we have a great friendship - he has helped me move and does me huge favors like drive me to and pick me up from the airport, and is there when I need a friend if I’m having a hard time. I don’t think he realizes that I still have feelings for him and I just don’t know what to do with these feelings. It’s very hard. I know God know I want to be with him one day, but waiting it out/letting things unfold is a challenge. He even told me that I pretty much was everything he wanted in a girl, but the life stage difference is the only thing stopping us from getting together right now 😦

Please keep praying! Thanks!
