I have a best guy friend, and we tell each other everything. But lately he hasn’t called or answered my calls, and I found out that he has a girlfriend. She’s not a Christian, and I’m worried. I want to talk to him, but it doesn’t seem like he wants to talk to me now. I feel sad that he has a girlfriend; does that mean I have feelings for him? There’s also another guy that I did like for a while. He used to text me a lot and doesn’t anymore, and I feel sad that he doesn’t. Does that mean I still have feelings for him? I thought I was over him, but I have this part of me that still wants to like him. AGH!

Let me see if I can simplify, without over-simplifying the situation.

Yes, and yes.

I think there’s probably a small part of you that has “crush” feelings for both of these guys. BUT (and I mean a big “but”) (no pun intended) that doesn’t mean much, and it especially doesn’t mean that you should act on those feelings. See, you’re a really normal high school girl, sis, and as a very normal high school girl, it seems you fall in “like” with guys easily, and have a tendency to crave attention from guys. The trick is to get those feelings under control (through Christ), and to not dwell on them. In fact, my advice would be to steer clear of both of those guys for a while, until you get your feelings under wraps, since neither one is God’s best for you right now. (How do I know? Well, one has a girlfriend, and the other is showing signs of backing off rather than pursuing your heart.)

Don’t compromise what you deserve to get what you want, sis. In other words, don’t let impatience drive you to pursue any guy, let alone one who isn’t worthy of your heart. A quality guy will make his intentions known and do whatever it takes to capture your heart. Wait patiently and you won’t be disappointed!

Love,

Jessie
