Whats a Girl to do?

Postby Nervy1978 on Wed Apr 14, 2004 11:01 pm

I am faced with a very difficult situation and need some advice. I've recently met 2 men, they are both well educated, charming and have shown their interest in me.

The first one, I really like him, we get along so well, he has gsoh and we have so much in common but the problem is that he's an atheist and I do believe in God, I really like him and I think I'm falling for him, he's such an interesting person and wonderful too, I'm always excited when he visits me, always looking forward to his telephone calls, but I wonder if i get into a realationship with him how can it workout in the long run when we don't share the same belief? How will he understand me and encourage me to reach my spiritual goals?

The second guy is so sweet and extremely smart, he's a cambridge graduate and we met through a christian singles club. We share the same faith, he's asked me out but I'm not attracted to him at all. There's no chemistry between us, yes we're both passionate about God, religious activities and everything that has to do with the Church, but that's all...

My friends like him more than the first guy and say he's more suited to me, even if I accept to go out with him, i don't picture myself with him 6 months from now, I'm afraid I'll get bored, he's so predictable.
Oh what a calamity! What am I suppose to do?

My family will never accept guy number 1.

Any suggestions?

I'm sorry to say this but it's not your family & friends happiness at stake here, it's yours. Do what your heart tells you to. Surely they'll come round when they see how happy you are?

I agree with Curley, follow your heart

People have beliefs. Beliefs don't have people.

People are real. Beliefs are thoughts, imaginings.

Some beliefs are 'true; eg the moon is made of rocks. Some are not true. Eg The moon is made of cheese.

God made people (so you believe).

God was around long before people and managed to get by even when there was no one around to believe in Him. He doesn't need you to believe. Your belief is unimportant, even to Him.

People are therefore more important than beliefs, even to God Himself.

So go for the guy you really love. For who he is, not for what he believes.

Everyone has different thoughts, beliefs and opinions and we learn to accept someone for what they are regardless of whether it is the same as you. So follow your heart.

Remember you still have to live with your heart, sod everyone else
