Should I end this relationship?

Hi.

Well, I got a reply to my email. She said in the email that she only sees us as friends and she does not feel that anything more could develop.

So, thats the end of that.

It seems very difficult to find someone these days, anyway, I want to say that I’m really thankful for all your replies.

I’m sure that was a VERY difficult email for you to get.

I am sorry to hear that, as she did accept gifts from you which in most circumstances would mean a token of more than friendship. I don’t think that was wise or kind of her to accept them. And it would seem now, as nice as she may have been, that she was not worthy of a giving man such as yourself.

Hold out hope friend. Be open to God and he will put you in the path of your true vocation, whether married life or priesthood, etc.

I feel your pain. Trust me, I’ve known it. It looks like girls and women have a universal problem with turning down the small thing if they don’t want the big thing. Maybe she was undecided at some point, though. At any rate, ignoring and dodging is not a healthy way of communication. I wish you a woman who will appreciate your care and your concern and one who will react accordingly. I will not tell you not to weep for this girl because that would be unhuman, but I too am of the opinion that it wouldn’t be the best for you to be in that relationship, should it exist. In short, not the right woman for you.

FanofB16, I’m sorry that it did not work out for you, but I do hope that you will keep trying. One of the really important things that you can get out of going out with different women, is that you can become comfortable doing just that. This will make it possible for the women that you go out with to actually get a chance to see the real you. I think that will make a big difference for you. So, don’t give up. I’m praying for you.

Give her credit for being honest and move on.

Are you active in a parish? Can you find ways to meet people and do fun, productive things together? Go on a summer mission for example. Or an Easter time mission.

If God intends you to marry, you’ll fine the woman. In the mean time, become the best person you can be - for Christ!
