Hey everyone,

Just wanted to see what everyone’s thoughts on my situation is. I pray the rosary like crazy, everyday. I enjoy it very much, but I hardly ask God for anything specific. I pray the rosary more than I “have a conversation” with God. Should I be asking God for things in my life, I mean when I do pray I always give thanks for being alive because if it were not for God I would not even exist. But I am wondering if I should ask for very specific things. I will give you an example. I am a very tender hearted guy, especially when it comes to girls. Whenever I start to like a girl I freak out over little things, and mostly wonder if she likes me or not, that is why I tend to not become too attached, but with some girls I get attached really fast. If I had my full trust in God I shouldn’t have to worry about what the girl thinks or if she likes me right?? I am just so confused, the more I think about it, the more I seem to over analyze and worry about things too much. Please help! 🙂

Thank you!
 
You’re human. It’s natural to feel anxious about something that means a great deal.
These are feelings, and feelings are part of being human,
Just make an act of trust in God as soon as you realize you are anxious.

You are a valuable person and you have a right to happiness lived according to God’s desire.
Be confident that you are a loved child of God.
A girl picks up on ‘self-doubt’.
However a good girl will value you just for who you are.
It’s not ‘perfection’ that attracts a good heart, but honesty, kindness, decency, respect, and good-humor can be helpful but it you’re shy, let that come in its own time. Many people also feel insecure about how they will be seen and how things will go in new friendships, including girls. She may be nearly as nervous as you! 🙂

Remember that Jesus was anxious in the Garden before His arrest, and asked His three most trusted disciples to keep him company and to pray with Him,
so if you feel anxious sometimes, you’re in good company. It didn’t mean that Jesus didn’t trust. It meant that God Incarnate fully embraced His humanity.
 
I believe that God wants us to make the act of trust by placing even the smallest matters into His hands through prayer. Always remember… “If you’re worrying you’re not praying; and if you’re praying you’re not worrying.”

Also, something someone asked me today has really got me thinking about the trust I have in God and has inspired me to work on that trust. They said, “Which do you trust more: the brakes in your car or God?”. I know I have to keep working until I can undoubtedly answer with God.

No, that is not one of the things that you should not care about for it is up to you to date the girl I do not think you are expecting God to do that for you !!
Second, you want to understand a woman? Forget about it! If you live 100 years she will always surprise you.
Does she like you or not? Better ask what she thinks about marriage, whether if is for life or to spend some good years.
Love is to love somebody without expecting that she loves you.
But…of course, to marry, she must say yes.
To know if she likes you, better be dumb: ask her? She likes? How much? for how long? what for? If she has nothing to hide, she will answer. Nervetheless, remember that she is a woman…

That said, do your best for you will marry the girl God has reserved to you…no matter what…
 
Absolutely, ask for specific graces when you pray the Rosary. Or offer it up for some good cause, such as world morality, relief for poor souls in Purgatory, someone’s health, etc.

You pray the Rosary like crazy? That’s the sanest thing I’ve heard in a long time! God bless you!

Who you marry IMO is the MOST important decision you will ever make in your life, after
your faith. Their influence and direction is enormous both in this life and for the life to come. When you make your morning prayer and evening prayer, include a very short
prayer to Mary to help you find the right person, so that you can reflect Mary’s family in
your life. Leave the rest up to her and tell her so.

Just a thought.
 
Thank you everyone for your replies, you are really helping. The reason why I am so worried about finding a girlfriend or any of that stuff is because everyone around me is getting married or in a relationship. Don’t get me wrong, I have girls that like me, but its not the girls I want to be with. 😦 I shouldn’t worry about what other people are doing I know I should just focus on my faith. Any suggestions?
 
God may have other blessings He wishes to develop and grow in your life at this time.
I ask our dear Lord to help you meet the right girl at the right time and that you will recognize her and be able to establish your relationship in the good and lovely way that you desire in God’s grace.
