RE: this girl
As usual, I agree with Rev.
Converse, converse and converse. Find common interests. Find uncommon interests. Read scripture together. Pray together. Pray for her. Ask her to pray for you. Then you will really find out what she is really like and if this is the woman you want to spend the rest of your life with.
Stay away from anything that would risk ruining your relationship. Treat her like a queen. Don't look at her like an object. Deal with her truthfully. Be honest. Share your dreams and aspirations. Share your troubles and concerns. Don't hide anything from her. Ask for her support in what you want to do with your life. Support her with what she wants to do with hers. Ask for support in overcoming your trials and tribulations.
Put the brakes and stop sign on anything physical except maybe hand holding ora quick kiss (And I do mean quick!) Nothing prolonged or that will entice sexual emotion or feeling. You have to find out and work with the spiritual and emotional side before you move to anything sexual (in my opinion the sex does not come until you have a union with God, but that is up to you).
You said she is "now" single. Does this imply she is divorced or just leaving a relationship? Find out what the issues behind the departure were if there was one. If there was one, is she working to correct some of the issues in her life for the break up/divorce? Find out!
God Bless,
Porter.
