I kinda know what you're talking about and what situation you're in right now. Actually, I'm almost in that same situation besides the fact that I don't go to school with the guy and my dad isn't a teacher. But in terms of liking/hating a guy...I know EXACTLY what you mean. This guy I met at YC Fusion back in May...I really like him, but at the same time I really don't like him. Long story, but I can tell ya some day maybe. If you have MSN, feel free to add me. My email is stargirl91387@hotmail.com. I gotta go though. Later dayz.

Thanks for that tidbit of encouragement and advice, polkadot (sorry, don't know your actual name lol). That's exactly the kind of advice I need right now. I'm goin through the same thing...so it's a help. Thanks a lot. God Bless.

about the whole boys and God thing.. im sure alot of us have been through the same thing, I wish it was talked about more in churches/youth groups. I had a good sermon finally on it... with the question of will/would God tell you 'he/she is the one'. the answer is no. because of God said ok Jack Smith is the one, then right there He would be taking away your free will, your freedom of choice. That is the one thing He gave to Adam and Eve, which is the reason why Eve took the apple etc etc, because she had the freedom of choice, aka freewill. Even when God created Eve, God didn't say ok this is the one! He presented her to Adam, which is what God can do, He can present who He thinks would be good for you, but you will ultimately make the right choice. Exactly like salvation... because if you think God is chosing your mate for you, don't you think He would have chose Salvation and a whole slew of other awesome things for each and every person over who you are going to marry? But no, God wants every to be saved, but each of us have the right to accept him or not. Throughout my many years of pining for guys :)... I do have a list, and there are many characterists/qualities on it that God knows about and obviously God honours and will give me the desires of my heart as long as it lines up with His word. God isn't sadistic, nor will make you marry some ugly guy or guy you hate... or even partially like. God wants us to have the most awesome passionate marriages the world has seen. He wants us to have the best, so obviously He doesn't want us to settle! And make sure you don't either! Just wait, God can bring you the best, because you are the best! If you ever have wierd guy thoughts or whatever.. just start praying for the guy! And polkadot is right.. Jesus left us with His peace! How awesome is that.. just give to God.. and keep giving it to Him over and over (if it takes that), until you are filled with peace. Praying in the Holy Spirit is awesome too because it helps to build yourself up in the most holy faith (jude 1.20).. keep renewing your mind to what God wants... remember "The physical world cannot operate independently from the spiritual world. What happens in one is simply a reflection of what happens in the other. "
