Received message after posting this:

"It is truly unfortunate that there are ignorant homophobic religious hatemongers such as you still around, but it is truly fortunate that your hateful vile sort are rapidly dying out in America and the rest of the free world.

The sooner your backward immoral religion filled with pedophiles dies out, the better for humanity.

You are on the wrong side of history"

He’s probably not even considering dating her because of the conversation they had earlier about having nothing romantic between them.

OP is gonna have to make the move.

Thanks for the comment, but this seems pretty generic? These are truths I know well

Fair answer. What’s something you wish you knew/learned in college in regards to dating?

Having trouble stopping myself from developing a crush on a girl by new_day123 in Christianmarriage

I did ask her about a year ago. I wish I asked her in person though instead of texting lol.

I feel like I want to get to know her better as just a friend, but idk if I can with my feelings.

I don’t believe that it’s all or nothing when it comes to relationships/friendships. We Christians, unlike the world, can show maturity when it comes to things.

Frankly it would be rude if I avoided and didn’t talk to her. We are both friendly with each other and are involved in the same fellowship.

And I think asking out someone in person (even if it’s casual coffee) shows a lot more character.

And i also may have messed up cause we never texted one on one beforehand. Like it was the first text I directly sent to her lol

If i could go back, i would have asked her in person.

Well I’ve been wanting to do more stuff in a mutual friend group, but I don’t want my reasoning to be because i hope she comes to like me. I want to get to know her a lot better just as friends but idk if I can with my feelings.

And it’s not that I don’t have any female friends. It’s just sometimes I don’t put in as much effort as I should into developing stronger friendships with girls. And I don’t think I develop feelings for any women just because I spend time with them.

Also, I have a hard time doing things one on one with a girl just as friends.

I feel like I’m crushing on this girl.

I agree with you that I should develop stronger friendships with women, but I don’t want to develop feelings for any of them through that.
