This boy I like knows I like him, and we talk a lot. But I don’t know if he’s a Christian. How do I ask him without ruining what I have with him?
I say you just ask him—straight up, no hesitation. You've got nothing to lose, because "what you have with him" isn't worth a hill of beans anyway if he doesn't love God, right? But I see some other red flags. One, make sure you let him pursue your heart, not the other way around. Since you know that he's aware of your feelings, I say leave the ball in his court. Let him take the lead in calling you or asking to hang out. Then you can be sure of his feelings, while keeping your dignity intact. Secondly, if he does love God, he should be making sure that you're a Christian before he even thinks about showing interest in you! (And since that doesn't seem to be a priority to him, I doubt he would be the spiritual leader you deserve.) Remember: Don't settle for less than you deserve just to get what you want.
