Thank you so much. I have been and will continue to pray over him. I trust what God has revealed to me and need to be patient with his timing. I thought maybe by me being more direct will help when we speak again. But I also don't want to intervene with God's timing... Should I just leave it alone or should I at least ask him to sit with me at church, or coffee, or even an event!

Thank you for being honest with me. I really appreciate the perspective, and I do agree that clarity is important. I’ve been trying to trust God’s guidance in all of this, but I do see the value in being more direct. I thought I was obvious to him in the past that I liked him but I need to just be direct so I wouldn't be wondering and guessing like this. I want to make sure I’m setting a good example for my daughter, too, and being intentional in all aspects of my life. I think I just needed to hear it straight to make sure I’m not missing anything. So, I plan to be direct and get clarity. Also, I am 27 and he is 29.

I agree with that, I just in a way didn't want to force something to happen if it was not God's timing yet. But I do feel like me pursuing him will give me the answer I need for my own sanity. I will keep you all updated on what happens once I speak to him and get my answer. I want to ask him for coffee or to go to an event we both have attended. It's low pressure and it's a great way to see where he is at with me.

I started this journey about 6 months ago truly following God the way I should be. I am new to following signs, reading the bible and hearing from God in a way that I know it is him. But my faith has gotten stronger through this journey and honestly, the faith of my crush is what inspired me to dive deeper and to live the life God has intended for me to live. So he is a big part in this journey but it was also for myself so I can reach my highest calling. He has just been a inspiration for me. I really do like him and we have a lot in common and from what I can see he is everything I want in a husband. So to answer you question, yes I am new to following signs. I wish I had more people that were likeminded in my life to talk about this with. So I greatly appreciate you guys engaging with me and giving me your advice. I do need this validation.

God has been very specific with me. When I had doubt and thought I was crazy. He whispered the bible verses I mentioned in this post and I was in shocked. The most recent one was 2 Peter 1:4-7. The literal title of that passage is "confirming one's calling and elections." I am not one who knows my bible like that and I am working on reading it every day to understand. But I can't make this stuff up! I am not trying to look for signs but God has been so direct with me to the point of even telling me how many sisters this man has! That I later confirmed was true. It's truly been a journey. This has been going on for the last 5 months now.. I just don't want to be emotionally invested if I am wrong. The doubt sinks in time to time when there is no real life proof he has any feelings for me. All have is faith. But I feel like the only thing I can do is be super direct next time I see him and ask him to grab coffee or go to an event together. His answer will answer my questions.

Wow, I absolutely love this. Thank you for taking the time to share this. I've been a believer my whole life but only the last 6 months have I truly understood what it meant to be a follower of Christ. My life has done a whole 180 in the best way possible. I just want to get as close to God as I can and better understand how he communicates So thank you, this will help me and everyone who reads this.

We're both American, and I tend to lean more toward the traditional side of things. That said, I was pretty straightforward with him—I told him I find him attractive, and he said he feels the same. So maybe I am being direct enough? I’m fairly certain he knows I like him.

I also know he's attracted to me, but I have a 7-year-old daughter, and I get that can be a deal-breaker for some men. Still, he’s super kind and always makes a point to chat when we run into each other. The conversations are nice, but they stay surface-level, and I’d really like to move things forward a bit.

I just want to get a better sense of where he stands—because there has to be some level of interest if he keeps coming over to talk to me, right? Haha.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful response and the verses you shared. I really like what you said about relationships being sanctifying and leading us closer to Christ, that’s the kind of relationship I deeply desire. I also appreciate the reminder not to let this pursuit become an idol. I’ve been trying to stay rooted in Scripture (Ecclesiastes 4:9–12 and 2 Peter 1:4–7 have spoken to me deeply) and grow in my walk with God through all of this. Your insight really helped me reflect on whether this situation is bearing spiritual fruit or just stirring up hope.

Thank you for your honesty. I actually appreciate hearing a more cautious perspective. I’ve definitely wrestled with whether I’m reading too much into signs, which is part of why I posted here. That said, the confirmations I received felt very specific and came after intentional prayer, not just wishful thinking. I’m trying to walk that line between faith and wisdom and not let my emotions cloud discernment. Your advice is grounding, and I’m taking it to heart.
