The Relationship Topic

This shouldn’t be too bad, if the differences really are as minor as you say. I think the largest issue you could face is one of you believing in free will, and the other predestination, as both beliefs carry over into major theological differences. I would say that if you can both be supportive of each other’s differences and realise that because we’re all human and prone to mistakes or logical hiccups, none of us will ever be 100% right in what we believe. Neither will any institution. Understanding this and exploring how your theology and her theology developed historically could be the key to ensuring the relationship between the two of you could become something beautiful.

To sum it up: tolerance, understanding, and love are the keys to every relationship.

Dang that was great to hear thank you brother. If the staff doesn’t mind, the disagreement is over whether you can lose salvation once you’ve recurved (I’m southern baptist and she’s church of God I believe. It’s not in the church title so idk)

I can see that one being a bit of a troublesome issue later on in a relationship, I’ll pm you and we can continue this there.

Ok thanks

Man, now I want some eggs.

(It’s “equally yoked”, btw.)

Reminds me of the girl I mentioned from last summer.

Oh. I’m seeing her again in a week. This is going to be fun.

Without delving too much into religious discussion - in my last two crush scenarios (you’ll find them further in the topic), I held back from making a move because I didn’t know what either of them really believed on that front. If they didn’t, I wouldn’t have wanted to pursue a relationship. I can imagine that, if she does harbor feelings for you, she might have the same dilemma.

If possible, I’d suggest that - if you reach the point where you feel like explaining your feelings toward her - you’re prepared to iron out those religious differences, and be prepared if she decides those differences mean you can’t be together.

Might as well elaborate for ya’lls entertainment.
(I’m from Texas so I’m legally allowed to say ya’ll)

So she went to that camp I was at last summer. Didn’t think much about it because the ol’ Head was in the clouds (I’m sure you know how that worked out :gregf: ) but yeah, so she left camp last year with a boyfriend (that looked like a rat I might add) and they broke up a while ago, from what her best friend told me, due to not being able to see each other often enough (from his point of view). Anyways, the Insta works its magic, a comment here, a comment there, a funny story, and a DM slide, and bang we are in business.
Side note she called me silly goose (?) yesterday so that’s gotta be good amiright.

So you like her or it’s a mutual thing

I think it’s mutual but neither of us have said it yet

Oh ok

OK, I’m not sure if I have brought this up, but I am currently seeing someone long distance. 3000km might I add, while I’m away for the summer, sometimes just texting it feels like she’s losing interest, thoughts?

Also, I’ve been away for about as long a time as I was home while we were together, and I’m not sure where we’re at with it. I’m just a little lost mah dudes

Is it only long distance while you’re away?

I just got out of a long distance thing a month or so ago. There were several points where I thought she was losing interest. It’s really hard to tell

Yeah, but I’m going to be gone for months

From my experience, girls lose interest very easily. If she’s not super into it, leave it be. You’re better off not worrying about someone who no longer likes you.
Hopefully she does still like you though.

Do you videochat? That might help.

Aren’t mixed messages fun. She seemingly told her friend that I like her and I can’t tell what that means

Now it depends of her friends.

Well idk much but ik a lot more ppl will probably find out based on the friend

This year, 10th grade, I’ll probably start working on getting into a real relationship.

That way I have everything screwed on tight before i get into something.

As I said, depends of the friends. If they are food persons, they will not spread the news.
Like… I’ve been in a very similar situation in my second fiasco. However, to my infinite joy, nobody said anything.
Well, at least as much as I am aware.
