It seems that, as I try to get closer to God (not that I’m doing so well in that either…), I’ve lost interest in human eros relationships, and I don’t know how to deal with this when the subject comes up in every day life. I mean, I used to have crushes when I was younger and then I just kinda hoped for someone significant to enter my life as God willed it, but now… It’s like, I don’t have that yearning anymore. Say, my friends or sisters are talking about their newest crush or about guys or whatever, and I just feel so awkward, like it’s not “on my plate” anymore, as it were… And if they were to ask me or directly involve me in the conversation, I wouldn’t really know what to say. Of course, when it’s about them, it’s all right. But if it should turn about me… If I told them the truth, that I’m not really interested in that kind of relationship at the moment (maybe permanently??), I would be totally alienating myself and probably turn them away from the Faith… but I also don’t want to lie, or lie by omission or deception, which is somewhat what I’ve had to sorta do. I don’t know what I should say… what do you suggest? Should I just keep acting as if there’s nothing strange going on? Should I just not worry about this? Leave it alone and hope nobody will inquire? :whacky:
