"i am going through an awkward friendship with a close guy friend of mine. last august, we found out that we liked one another, but i said no when it came to the dating part. in all honesty, i'm just scared of dating! i have bad anxiety, so that triggers the fear of it automatically. plus, i'm really afraid of getting hurt, so i don't know what to do exactly. i hate hurting the guy's feelings, but i'm just torn between saying yes or no. what's your input on this? thanks! :)
dear anonymous, i think the best thing for you to do, would be to pray a lot for guidance on what to do in this situation. it would all depend on what your anxiety is caused by, so i also think it would be good for you to dig deeper and figure out why that fear is your first reaction to dating.
sometimes, you have to do what is best for you. so even if you are concerned about hurting this guy's feelings, i would like to encourage you to remember that you sometimes have to do what is best for you.
i would also like to say, that a parent or guardian or role model would be someone good to talk to about this as well.
just be completely honest with everyone about what you are going through :)
hope this helps!
sincerely,
allie d.
