As I write this post I am kicking my computer, my stomach feels weird and I am just not a happy chappy. All this, I expect because of a woman I have rarely even spoken to but think about a lot. God helps me with everything in life and I never start something new without running it past him first, but does God offer any help when it comes to romance? Does God even want us to act on these feelings or does he just tolerate it because the human population has to reproduce somehow?

I am just wondering if I am wasting precious time waiting for help from God here. However I do not have much self-confidence and without help I don't know what I will do. This has been going on about a year. Help.

God carea about all the little and big things about us, problems or not. Take all your problems to Him and He'll help you out.

I would recommend first approaching her as a friend. Treat her with respect and caring and she will notice you. If it blossoms into something that feels more strong with the both of you, then follow God's plan for relationships. If not, then you still have a friend

Oh, and as for self-confidence. I have that problem often too. I always have to remind myself that as a Christian I am following God's plan, not mine. Since I'm on God's plan and doing things God's way, my confidence is not in me, but in Him. Don't feel the need to be "self-confident"...be confident in God

Best of luck!

That makes sense and I will remember that. Thanks.

I think I am only getting so worked up because I am going to California in about 4 months and won't see most of my friends for a over a year.

Yeah, it can be tough going out on your own. But remember that you'll make new friends in CA too. This time next year you're going to probably feel the same way about missing them

Well...that wasn't much in the way of uplifting.

I am feeling much better today - it is St. Patricks Day. It's 11am and my flatmates are insisting we go to the pub. Now I really need help.

Thanks for all the advice
