I Kissed Dating Goodbye

Dear *

I don't know how to say this without being awkward. First of all, I'd like to say that I really enjoy being with you. The exclusivity. The special treatment. It's not something I can overlook.

And that's the problem.

I notice that we are being closer to each other. We are starting to become more than friends. And just saying this out loud brings a lot of issue. What if you don't notice? What if I'm just a friend, really, and it's just me exaggerating things?

But there. I feel like we're getting closer with every conversation. We show our scars, reveal our pasts, uncover our hearts. It's so much intimacy for me. And I'm starting to trust you so much and set you apart from other friends. But I know I shouldn't, and maybe you shouldn't too, without the nets of commitment.

I really wish I could spend more time with you. But I can't ignore the fact that one of us might end up falling in love without defining what kind of relationship we have. I don't want any of us to get hurt. God values our hearts so much, and we can't afford to break each other's in the name of good feelings. As much as I want to really spend more time with you, I'm afraid we should stop before we end up within blurred lines.

Thank you. It's really hard for me to say this. I've never really asked anyone to set boundaries before. It's either I start avoiding the person or compromise our friendship. But I want to set things right. We are Christians and God ought to be the center of any kind of relationship. So I am surrendering ours to Him and pray that you would, too.
