Monday, April 20

Let each one keep seeking, not his own advantage, but that of the other person.—1 Cor. 10:24.

 

How long should you observe the person before you express your romantic interest? If you approach someone too soon, you could come across as impulsive. (Prov. 29:20) On the other hand, if you take too long, you could come across as indecisive, especially if the other person has perceived your interest. (Eccl. 11:4) Remember, before approaching someone, you do not need to be convinced that you will marry that person. But you should be convinced that you are ready for marriage and that the other person could be a suitable mate for you. What, though, if you sense that someone is interested in you? If the feeling is not mutual, try to make that clear by your actions. It would be unkind to make the person think that there is a possibility of a relationship when that is not the case.—Eph. 4:25. w24.05 22-23 ¶9-10

We’re all… watching each other a little more than we admit.
 

Not in a creepy way — just… trying to read somthing that isn’t being said out loud yet.
 

There’s a difference between being careful and being hesitant… and I don’t always know which one I’m doing until I stop and look at the motive. Am I waiting because I’m respecting their space — or because I’m avoiding the risk of being clear?

 

And then the other side of it hits too. If I can tell someone’s leaning in… even a little… I’ve got a responsibility there. Not to let that drift. Not to let them sit in uncertainty because it’s easier for me.
