    I once had a crush on a choir director so did all the other women in the church he was a widowed handsome man he played the piano like nobody else could he sang Christian songs and even preached at times in place of our pastor. he was always friendly at the door is people were leaving and he would shake my hand reel tight look in my eyes and say it was so good to see you today and I thought he liked me the way he shook my hand with meaningful gesture being a very shy and humble person I am and I considered myself at least attractive I had confidence in myself in that way so I was bold enough to ask him if he would like to take the opportunity to go to a concert with me I had two free tickets. he suddenly said he was sorry that I should just ask somebody else in place of him. oh my goodness that was such a let-down I was never so embarrassed. I guess my crush just went right down the tubes. so I decided never to try to date someone at church. I believe men and women want to meet a good Christian values person of worth and it's very difficult to cross that line at church. so how is someone to meet someone if they are Christians and can't find the right person at church. I later knew that God was protecting me. I found out he was having an affair with a married woman. never put any man or woman on a pedestal until you really know who they are the only one that should be on a pedestal is Jesus Christ he is perfect

    Simply follow the Holy Spirit rather than your feelings. He'll convict you of what you should or should not do. Because if the desire you have for someone comes from the Lord, the Lord will do the work. What I mean here is you don't have to appear desperate because Abba will provide a way. It won't bother you if that person likes someone else. Because your security comes from the Lord. He is enough, our bridegroom, and our everything.

    I think Isaac and Rebecca give us a great tip about how a woman should approach a man. In the Bible you don't see Rebecca going after any man. She wasn't anxious about that, she was just working and the blessing came to her. I think trusting God is the key to get the right guy for a Cristian woman! Great video!

    I agree that men should do the pursuing. But ladies, telling men they need to "man up" and "step up" will absolutely not help. Instead of assuming the worst - that we are cowards and weaklings - please try to understand that we are just as fallen, broken and in need of understanding as you. We need grace as much as you. And grace is really attractive.

    1. Talks to them a lot more than you talk to other people.
    2. Encourage them.
    3. Use the power of invitation. Invite him to spend more time with you but not in an obvious way. 😂
    1. Don't tell him directly but giving him signs how you feel about him.

      YES, YES, YES and once again: YES! I’m a christian guy (27, freshly and happy dating) and I approve every part point of that advice 👍 1. I do get suspicious, that a girl likes me, when she takes her time to talk to me. 2. Any honest (important) positive comments on my skills were more worth that ANY thing, she could else do for me. (Don’t get discouraged by guys possibly awkward response to your compliment, neither push it to strong, just let him know, that you like the way he does stuff). I want for my girl & future wife to be the best, to serve her and be appreciated in my ability to navigate the world, grow and reach my goals in a way God helped me to develop over time. That feeling of being respected is iiiiiiiiiiiiiiinvaluable. A very strong fuel. Use with care and honesty:) 3. Inviting a guy to do something for you is an awesome strategy! Win-Win-Win-Win. One thing though: he might just be friendly and not romantically interested, buuuut you might still have great time and a problem solved (or at least partially solved, or at least get a new perspective on the issues, guys lllove to give there perspectives of issues 🙈) and you two might know each over a little bit better, no pressure:) or he might be interested, but just be busy at that time... dunno) just some thoughts of mine. Best of luck, sisters!!!!! Pray for your relationships, be patient, trust your Creator and let Him shape and prepare you for the life he has planed and prepared for you 😌✨ God bless you!! 🌿 !

      I don't know your heart, but incase you are, or you will... Please don't think playing mind games to excessively keep him chasing is a Godly way either, that's playing mind games, and it will almost always lead to game over, and if not the buttons will be stiff so you won't get very far in the relationship.
      If a woman is excessively trying to make me chase her beyond what's natural, I'm backing out, unless God told me otherwise. I understand it's natural and I find it cute but when it comes to excessively trying to bend the strings to make him chase you, it will exaust him and you will become selfish, and end up sincerely accusing him of being selfish because you feel neglected, but he isn't actually neglecting you, it's because you probably have wounds of past hurt which God needs to heal, and if you keep that mindset, you'll be insecure throughout your relationship, because when he's unable to you'll be insecure about it. It's covetousness for attention it will hurt your heart, and it means you need to ask God to fill your heart to be the main one you need attention from.
      I've got some past wounds that need healing to, it's painful.

      This is true. I also don't think there's fault in a woman observing a guy she is interested in and genuinely engaging him in conversation as a clue to your interest. Feel him out as to personality etc. This will also illuminate how you can best proceed. Some guys are more reserved and guarded, especially with modern cultural hypersensitivities

    I truly laughed at the first point because guys love to assume you like them even when you're just being friendly. I actually have to not smile as much when interacting with the opposite sex because I'm generally a friendly person. I even have to temper myself when it comes to encouraging males because it comes naturally to encourage others. Too many men are not pursuing women for fear of rejection.

      That fear, any fear I believe are works of the devil.
      We shouldn’t be fearful and think negatively and dwell on our past rejections and bringing that mindset into our present circumstances .
      So, we should always remain positive of the possibilities that the person may reconsider accepting you back even if they rejected you the first time. Relationships are a big commitment to handle too.

      Speaking as a man, I assume that if you give a guy an "obvious" hint, and he acts like he doesn't get it, odds are, he knew exactly what you wanted, but he wasn't attracted to you, and he wanted to spare your feelings and avoid a potentially awkward situation by rejecting you outright.

    • @BluDrop5
      @BluDrop5 4 года назад +9

      Typically, a man is clear (e.g. verbal, non-verbal, the way he treats other) about what he wants. Thus, he wouldn't show friend vibes to someone who he wants to be romantic with. So, if you perceive this, move on because he's not ready (for whatever reason) to be in an exclusive relationship with you.

    Many people choose someone, they prefer or 'think' might be a good choice and then ask the lord to make it work. Whoever, we end up with, we should be confidant that it was his choice for us, not our own, which is why it is important to receive confirmation from the lord. When we give God the option to choose our spouses, he is mindful of our needs and our expectations as long as they align with his will. The more we understand and accept how much we're loved by God, the easier it gets to patiently wait and trust his timing.

    Thanks Mark, I really needed to hear this. I caught up with a girl, had an amazing time with her. She extended an invite to me the next day which I accepted, and then when I saw her another time I got really nervous and overwhelmed around her and got attacked horribly by the enemy by past hurt in opening my heart up. I just felt in my own head that it was moving so quickly out of nowhere. She even asked me a week beforehand that she wanted to catch up with me, but I was busy at the time, but this planted a seed in my heart and started to think of her more than just a church friend.
    Now I desire to pursue her by getting to know her more, but not being too direct too quickly, might take a couple of days to pray over this and ask God to give me the capacity to love her as Christ loves me.

    Just to add a little bit of a woman's perspective, I sort of was blunt with a guy and told him I liked him (after a few months of back and forth where things were unclear). I do regret being blunt, and as you said, instead of starting a relationship it ended a friendship. But at the same time, I'm kinda glad it ended b/c there was no going back to what it once was, and it helped me to move on. So I think sometimes it's OK for the woman to be blunt and get it out of the way. But that's just my 2 cents. :)

    In all seriousness. Perfect love cast on fear. I don't think a perfect formula exist for how to start a relationship but if you go to overboard to fast it will scare anyone you like. We are all human get to know the person first and see if it's a good experience or a bad one. Not everything that glitters is gold.

  • @RenewalCreations
    @RenewalCreations 5 лет назад +35

    Yes, but I also recommend either letting things grow like you would with any other friendship in the body, and also spend some times praying about the guy you are interested in and asking God if it his will to open his eyes, in the meantime spending time adoring the Lord and loving others. Because he will be more attracted to the fruit of a godly woman.

    Just from personal experience here. I am very relationally clueless. I had this girl who I was head over heels for and I always made it a point to talk to her whenever I saw her, but I never really initiated anything because I wasn’t sure how she felt. One day she came in the store with a guy and she was dropping slot of hints and chatting me up, and honestly it felt like she might’ve been flirting. However, seeing this guy she came in with standing next to her I thought she was already seeing this guy and therefore just being friendly with me so I didn’t take any of the bait. I later found out from a sister that this girl did really like me and I went up to her and asked her out, unfortunately by this time she had found someone else and moved on, and I kick myself for that a little more every day. So just a guys advice for the ladies, just because he doesn’t respond doesn’t always mean he’s not interested, he may just be stupid like I am, so take that as you will 😅

Ironically, the one person I do have a crush on, I act exactly the same around him as I do other people..the only difference is I try to talk to him more than other people and how nervous, happy and warm I feel 😫😅

    I had an interest in a woman who showed all these signs so I sat back and waited to see how things would develop. The more I got to know her the more I saw that she was most likely just being friendly. But it gave me time to get to know here objectively and from that I saw that we were not on the same page as far as Bible knowledge went. As a result, I was able to assess her qualities and move on from pursuing her without any one getting hurt. And her none the wiser. As a result, the Lord has used it to establish me in my purpose to encourage others to grow in the knowledge of God and to be free to go wherever He directs me to go. God will always work good to those who love Him and are called in accordance with His purpose. The ultimate purpose for humans is to have a relationship with God and this far outlasts anything the temporal reality we reside in can offer.

    How to spot men who are truly authentic, non-judgemental.

This led to a lot of passive-aggressive flirting, instead of the straight-forward signals given in this video. Good work.

And when He does put in his heart, that the guy will be brave enough to trust God too.
