It's not just yet the right time.

As some of you here know that I am single; because it is my choice and I still find myself very young for such things. There's this guy that I like and he courted me. I entertained him but then, as days passed by and he is still courting me, I felt not happy. I just don't know why! I realized its not really yet the right time for me to be in a relationship and fall in love. There's no spark. There's no magic of love. It's not love that I'm feeling towards him and it's just a simple admiration. I tried to make him understand how I feel. He didn't understand me and I still tried to make him get what I mean and until he finally realizes my point. I don't want to hurt anybody. I just don't want to pretend, especially when it comes to love and relationships issue. I'm weak at that! I'm just staying single as time lets me. There's no need to hurry, right? I still have a very long way to go! :)

When you really don't like, just don't force yourself to move more. I think it is not a right time yet for you starting in a new relationship. You just enjoy your single time now and i know you have many chances in front. Keep being happy always

Yes. I don't feel comfortable of the thought that having a relationship with him. It wasn't love I'm feeling towards him. It was just a simple admiration and he misunderstood it. I'm happy that I am single. No complications, lesser problems!

I have a boyfriend, and we love each other very much, but I feel like I have failed him because I won't be able to give him what he wants. When we met and fell in love things were great, but then things began to fall apart, and mostly on my end. Yes, I now have my English Degree, and I am in Grad School, and I am getting a great job, but with my new medical condition... we can't have children of our own now. When we first fell in love, I wanted us to graduate school, get settled, get married, and eventually, have children, but now, some of that might not happen. The children part won't because I will have to go see so many doctors and be on so many medications. He and I have been through so much, and I really don't know how he stays by my side?

Honestly, don't rush love. Be patient. Be ready to take all of the good with all of the bad because there will be plenty of it. When you find that special person, then you will know.

Awww. Don't give up rogue! Things will get better. I don't know when, but eventually, it will be. Just have faith! Miracles do happen. I know a couple. They've been married for like 20 years they never had children with all those years of marriage. Trials came on and gone and still, they stay together, pray together and had faith.. Until one day, the woman is finally carrying a baby in her womb. They were both very very happy! I hope you will have soon. I'll be praying for you! And of course, when it comes to love... I'll just let things happen on its own. There's no need to rush it!

"You can't hurry love, you just have to wait, love don't come easy, it's a case of give and take..." lyrics from a song that i really enjoyed listening to way back then. To really fall in love is not a choice, but a chance that happens at an unexpected place and time, and when it does happen, then you will know that you are ready to experience it.

True that! :) I really know that this one isn't yet the one for me. We both still have a long way to go in life and I'm really sure if we are for each other, then we will be in the right time. We just need to discover something in ourselves first before we discover each other! :) Life is amazing. Why hurry love, right?

Don't force yourself to be in a situation, that you don't like, ed. Have a heart to heart talk with the guy. Perhaps the guy can feel your admiration so he is insistent. Maybe you can hide that admiration first and treat him like before. That way, he will not insist anymore.

The admiration I had with him seems to be gone now, my friend. I don't know why but, it just gone away for a reason that I cannot seem to understand! I will try to talk to him about this.

You're right.. There's no need to be in rush.. We can't force our self to be in a relationship if we're not yet ready for it.. It's not like a game that we can just get out into quickly.. It should be taken with a responsibility.. You just made a god choice to take it slowly... :)

Of course. Not only responsibility but also trust, commitment, faith and of course love.

I think we are of the same situation and I firmly believe that we should not rush into things especially if we are not yet ready. There is nothing wrong with being single. As long as we are not hurting other people or just as long as we are causing no harm to other, we can take our time and enjoy our days of being single being going into relationship.

Very true! :) Being single is fun. There are always a right time for everything, especially love. When the right one comes, we'll know.

i don't see the point in ever hurrying. just let it happen and you'll know when the love is genuine.

Of course. It's not called "falling in love" if we keep chasing it and hurrying. Letting it happen in its own way is fine. That's when we realize how nice it is to fall in love. Doing nothing but just letting it come and happen. We never know when it is! :)

Hi there! nice meeting you on my lot. In regards to your post, I had a similar situation because there's this guy friend who liked me but I don't like him like that. I was not comfortable with him because he does act like that I'm his girl and stuff. I had to find away to tell him I'm not into that stuff because he made me ackward when we saw each other at church. I'm single too and I'm not looking for anyone because I'm not ready. I also feel i don't know how to handle a relationship so what is the point of me having b/f or wanting one. I just feel i need to look for a job first and maybe those things can come by. So what happened when the guy realized about what you said? Staying single is safe. Having relationships for me at this time, well I can say there's drama...I have a friend who was in a relationship for about 8 or 9months but he broke up with her and she still still loves him after they broken up. I don't think I'll handle if i was in her shoes. I'd be crying and moping and all that. I'm not in hurry for relationships. If you aren't in hurry for relationships, then no need to.

He just back off. He stopped texting me, calling me and even just looking at me. I told him we could be friends after all but he didn't answer.. so, he leave me no choice but to think that he doesn't exist because I see he's doing the same. In relationships, there is always what we called drama. We can't avoid that! No need to hurry for such things! :)

We are human beings and it is quite common to have love relations in this age but such relations should not effect us and our future. Before starting a deep relations you need to ask your parents permission so that you have the full permission to enjoy the relation and no one will stop it. I think there is enough time for you to have a good relation.

One of the many reasons why I was very hesitant to be in a relationship right now is that my parents wouldn't really allow me. I think I made a good choice. I need to do my duties to/for my family first before being in a relationship. I believe that when the right love comes, you'll just know. You'll just feel it. And so far, I know I haven't, so, it's not the right time for me to be in love yet! :)
