About a month after meeting her, I have decided to keep our friendship growing and have decided to pursue her. It seemed like from the very beginning we connected really well and there seemed to be an attraction on both ends.<\/p>\n<p>A few days ago I have decided to spill the beans and tell the girl how I feel about her and offer to court her if the feelings are mutual and just in case they weren\u2019t, then I decided that it would be best to split our ways. I was very confident that our feelings were mutual. All the signs were there. To my surprise she was very shocked to hear that from me and told me she couldn\u2019t give me an answer.<\/p>\n<p>After further talking she asked me if it\u2019s possible to like somebody without knowing it after I told her why I thought our feelings were mutual. I was kinda stumped and confused. My understanding is that you either like someone or you don\u2019t. I told her that I will give her time and space for as long as she needs to decide.<\/p>\n<p>I of course have been praying for this for months and have never felt so confident about pursuing a young lady. But this question has me quite puzzled honestly. Maybe somebody can break it down for me. Thank you and God bless you for taking the time <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-smiley\" src=\"https:\/\/nogreaterjoy.org\/blogs\/preparingtobeahelpmeet\/wp-includes\/images\/smilies\/icon_smile.gif\" alt=\":)\"><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Now this is a guy asking for advice and most of what he was told was to pray. Then he went on to describe himself and it looks almost more like a \u2018Compliment me\u2019 situation in a \u2018see what a great catch I am?\u2019 sort of way.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Here\u2019s a little about myself. I\u2019m about 6\u20331\u2032, muscular build and workout at the gym 2-3 days outta the week on average. There is a good number of young ladies chasing me around at church and out of church. I am also a youth minister.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Is this even worth responding to with a real answer or is he just trolling for admiration?<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><em>Stay in touch!
