Love....is it?, can it?, should i?, how?, HELP PLEASE!! :)

ok, so this blog is aimed towards those who are 16 or older, but i would love to here from younger as well!! and if you are married, i would love to know that!

so here is my thing, i am 16 years old. i have attended the same church since i was two. i was saved at the age of 7, and i have loved jesus for ever. But i have also fallen short on some things, made some mistakes, gone through some really rough things, anyhow, so my main question right now...is it possible to be in love at the age of 16? ive known this guy since i was 6, we have been best friends ever since then, he knows me better than most people and likewise. we tell each other things, we have a past....but we are tryin to live and grow past that...well he actually has a girlfriend right now, but i know that in the past he had feelings for me, people have said ever since i was 6 that we would end up gettin married, and so i feel that he still likes me..well i am totally in love with him..i have been since i was 12...it used to be more of obsession, but i prayed ans studied God's word on all of that, and now im startin to see him differently. i am still in love with him, but not casue of how he looks, but because he is a strong christian, he loves his family, he loves his mom, he loves jesus, and he loves helpin with the children at my church which is what i do...i plan on becomin a children's evangelist and so i love his relationship with God, and i want him to know how i feel about hi..i havent actually told him that im in love with him, thats way hard to do!! so what should i do?? any comments or questions feel free to ask,i trully dont mind answering any of them!! thanks everybody!! have a wonderful day!! love you all!

This will take time, make sure you talk to God and ask him what he thinks about you position. Other then that I don't think there is much else I would do, he is eventually notice that he misses you, as more then a friend. It makes it sound like at one point you were more then that although if you could clarify that would be great! Make sure God is part of this because we can't do anything unless it is through God. If it works out WHOO, if not God's hand was in it and that means there are only bigger and better things to come!

I will be praying for you! <3

Be nice and kind. if it's love it'll show itself, but dont push it on him either. and about being love at 16, it is certainly possibly! just be careful, because its hard to tell sometimes. there's a couple at the high school im about to go to that are engaged. They're juniors and it seems to me that they really are in love--they've also been dating for many years. be careful, and don't fall into the "in love" trap and wait to actually be IN LOVE! God will reveal to you in time :)

Comment by Lindsey Nicole on May 27, 2011 at 8:10pm: ok, thank you very much!! and i pray the same thing! i hope you have a fantastic day!!

Comment by Lauren Gillingham on May 27, 2011 at 5:13pm: Well those sound like pretty good reasons to love someone! I'm glad you're not all about the looks, that's important :) I think it just really depends on the person and the situation. Keep praying and have an open heart towards God, I pray he makes it very clear what he wants you to do <3
