Just a head's up...this is a long one, so thank you in advance!
So it's been a while since I asked a girl out. Probably about 2 years. I've recently met this amazing young woman at my church. I really, really like her... a lot!! I just turned 27 and I'm realizing that I'm not getting any younger and I really want to start courting a girl that I can marry. I've only known her for a couple of months and we've started talking more and more, always in a group setting. I honestly can't stop thinking about her. For the first time in my life, I finally found someone that I want to be with day and night, and when I'm not with her, it hurts. She's just wonderful. Anyway, I am afraid to make a move for a couple of reasons.
One, I haven't known her that long and I don't even know if she's interested in me the same way. Secondly, there's another guy at our church that she used to date. I don't know how he or she still feels about one another and I gotta be honest, I'm very intimidated by that. I've misread girls' signals before, and I don't want to make myself look foolish AGAIN! I was thinking about talking to her best friend to sort of get a feel if this girl is even interested in dating right now. Is that a bad idea? Should I just continue to get to know her in the group settings or try to ask her out casually just the two of us?
I am torn because I really want to just go for it but I can't help but feel like it's too soon. But I also don't want to wait so long that someone else snatches her up. This girl is so worth it, I really want to take my time with it and do it right. I need help getting my mind around some things. I know you don't know me, but I would appreciate prayer. Thank you for taking the time to read this.
