New Relationship Advice!!

JJ • JJ 💋

I have really only had one real relationship (2 years) that turned ugly, and was a horrible break up to say the least. That was 4 months ago, and I have realized that what I did was for the best, and accept the fact that it happened, and even started loving myself and God more than I did while in the relationship.

While I have had a few crushes here and there since the break up, I have recently “caught feelings” for a guy I’ve known a long time. I would have never thought he was such a genuine person, or that we would like each other the way we do. We both agreed we could see something in the future together, even though 3 months ago I wouldn’t dare think of getting into another relationship. This guy is different. I could go on about that, but I’ll try to save some time. Tonight we had a heart to heart conversation and God happened to come up as one of the topics. He said to me “Honestly I’m not very religious, and I know that’s a big thing for you, but I didn’t grow up in church so I’m not really sure what God is.. but I feel like with you I could learn. I want to be a believer.” He said some other stuff too, but I think you can get the point. But GIRL LET ME TELL YOU HOW HAPPY THAT MADE MY HEART TO HEAR. I’ve never met a guy that’s been that open or said anything like that to me before. So of course I would love to help him, but during my last relationship, as much as I hate to say it, I have strayed away a bit. I’m afraid I don’t know HOW to show/teach him. And I know it’s not all my responsibility to do so, but I feel like it would set a good foundation for the relationship if we decide to persue it, and if not, it would be something to make our friendship stronger too, if you get what I’m saying.. I just don’t know how to do it... especially when churches are closed right now..
