Hot topic of the week


So I'm in a relationship with a guy who was my close friend for awhile. I never thought that we would end up going out, but over time our feelings grew and when he asked me out I said yes. Our relationship is great and I'm happy, but my parents don't know about us and I'm sure I should listen to them and wait until college to date. I don't want to break up with him and potentially mess up a relationship, but I'm compelled to obey my parents wishes (which I didn't do in the first place)... What should I do??

So,I my best friend(a guy) and I(a girl) are really close. We probably kinda like eachother but don't want stuff to change. People at church are always saying we should go out and stuff.(both in highschool..Senior and Junior) We do at lot of "flirting"(nickname for eachother.. calling eachother sweetie,baby and stuff) almost like we go out. people say we're just "messing around" Is it wierd that we don't go out? Are we just "messing around" or is it something more?

i say stay friends for a while and see what happens. i was close like that if a friend of mine. we decided to go out. and now that we broke up, its like we don't even know each other i try to be nice but nothing works. but make your decision on what God leads you to do rather than me.

I totally know what you mean. I'm in the same situation (except that the guy & I are both high school sophomores). I was always having a difficult time explaining to anyone why we weren't dating when they would say it was weird, so I asked him what I should say. He said that he would date me, except that he doesn't think we should yet (not to mention that neither of us drive yet!!). So, to answer your first question, liking each other & not "officially dating" isn't weird at all (maybe not typical, but it's all good). And to answer your question, I can't tell you for sure. Sorting out your feelings is the only way you'll know, but it sounds like yes, you both have feelings for each other, and that's very exciting :)

Girl its definitely something else. Cause if people encourage you, theirs a big chance of you going out. But just because people encourage you means do it. God doesn't want Christians having outside relationships before their old enough to get married. So if you've got a feeling it something else, don't let that something else happen. If you are friends stay friends. But remember, don't take my word for it, ask God to be your Guide

regardless of whether or not you two have made a formal decision to go out there is as emotional connection between the two of you. just keep the communication lines between the two of you and make sure that you both are on the same page. Pray and let God guide you.

there is some attraction going on between u 2, my best friend is a guy and we dont do the stuff u and ur frend does. maybe out of fear of something (idk what), u 2 are afraid to date. just take your time, continue doing God's will and things watch things play out
