excuse me? strong teen infatuation. #1 I am not a teen. #2 I am not infatuated with my boyfriend. I love him, but that doesn't mean I am infatuated. We've been dating for 2 years, and we were good friends before we even started dating. You don't even know me. My missionary is concentrating very hard on his mission and I am concentrating very hard in college. The reason I posted on here was to see if anyone else supported my decision to wait to kiss him. We kind of rushed the relationship before he left, but when he gets back we want to take it slower. Heck, we might even start all over again. I guess the only people who actually understand would be the people in my same situation right now. You're probably some 40 year old man whose girlfriend didn't wait for you while you were on a mission, and I can see why. Please everyone just leave me alone. I just wanted to see if I was the only one out there who felt like me, obviously I am!

would you guys leave that alone. please. it never happened. i didnt even want it to happen after awhile. I grew up. in this post, this is my boyfriend who i am talking about. and yes he has been out for just about 11 months.

He's been out for nearly a year. 1 Month til a year. We were extremely close before he left, but not to the point of being overly attached. Right now, I feel detached with him-- but I still love him. I think I'm feeling really detached because he is really concetrating hard on his work. I don't think I would feel detached if he wasn't. When he gets back I want to take things slow. I just don't think it would feel/be right if I was to kiss him until we had gotten to know the new versions of each other...more sophisticated and mature what do you think?

I have posted on here many time pertaining to a guy who is now almost home from his mission. And then I also talked about that whispering from the holy spirit. And how if I do what is right so and so will come into my life. In seminary we learned that God loves If/Then statements. Well, with this I see it true. There are tons of scriptures marked in my scriptures about this. My favorite that I marked is D&C 9:8-9 then after reading that..read D&C 8:9-10. There are amazing and when I came upon that I knew that I shouldnt keep asking forum people. So now, here I am like 3 months later after this amazing feeling, saying how amazing this still all is. I mean really why would I doubt something the holy ghost whispered to me? I was, but now I am not. When you know something is true, dont let others(even other members) tell you if this is possible or not. When you know and you get yet another amazing feeling about it then for me, yeah I know its true. Patience is a virtue and when I see him and that amazing feeling and a "there he is" from my pal the holy ghost then I know that I all that I am saying is true. Now: meet me...shy around new people...but hilarious and sweet around her friends. now add in that amazing feeling when I see him and that whispering....GREAT! with a dash of nervousness. A big dash(like accidentally putting salt in instead of sugar while making cookies). What the heck do i do then? throw up? I have no idea where I will see him....at walmart....in carls jr...in a store all i know is that i will see him. all i can hope and ask for is that there is something that makes us talk to each other. I hear when you do something with confidence in the lord it turns out great.

This is how I get my answers. By thought that comes to heart and mind. Accompanied with that great feeling of happiness

2 months ago there I am sitting in seminary. On my own little scavenger hunt for answers on my long questioning of love. Anything to do with it. I was off in my own little hunt while the rest of the class was paying attention. Ocassionally, when I am sent on these "scavenger hunts" I find something I had been looking for. I couldn't find anything so I decided to listen to what the teacher was saying. Right as I tuned in he said "If we do what is right, the Lord sets us up for success." You know what immediately follwed that? An amazingly overwhelming feeling came upon me and I could feel the whisperings of the spirit. I was told that if I do what is right Jarom would come into my life." Please, trust me on this one when I say that it felt way more than just to be friends. I could just tell it wasn't just for a friendship. The strongest feeling of the spirit I have ever felt in my life. It made me shake. My heart raced. I kind of felt like crying but couldn't quite get tears out because I was just smiling a ton! Here's the thing: I haven't seen Jarom since sophomore year(I'm a senior now). The most I ever said to him was hello. But, back then I had no interest or intrique or feeling about him because I had it big time for his younger brother. Well, I finally figured his brother just wasn't for me since he never talked to me. Jarom is still on his mission as he will be until Mid-June. Is it possible that Jarom has felt the same thing about me if this is the Holy Spirit? Is something like that even possible. Because I know I felt something and it was very strong. I always feel the same when I think about this. Even now as I am trying my hardest to write this in a way it won't be confusing. I just feel so good. The great feeling I got that day was amazing to say the very least. I knew that of course we would have to be friends first. But I just feel really great about this. And as I think about it I can see us being best friends and then it leading to so much more. Please be honest with me but please also consider that I really felt this and that I am not a lovestruck teenager. I am not that. When a feeling like this happens, it's altering in a good way!

well i remember he left in may 2 years ago..because i still liked his bro back then and he told me that. so i am guessing may..

so what should i do? maybe its just best to wait til he arrives home back to the town

that line you said about a confirmation by the Holy Ghost..amazing and true. That is truly how I know when I've done what is asked of me. I receive a warm feeling and a good job alix and I feel it and then immediately think of the Holy Ghost. Thats how I know. Which is exactly as you described. I would guess that the best thing upon meeting would be to develop a strong friendship.Such as being best friends. I think it would be grand to marry your best friend! Its a good foundation. my next question(for anyone to answer): i was on another site trying to receive help to. Another LDS site. I wasnt getting very much help(like on here) but there was a reply that kind of stuck out to me. This girl had suggested I write him a letter just as an ordinary person thanking him for serving a mission for this church and all..like how they have you do it sometimes at church activities. But heres the thing: My name would be on the paper. And I used to like his younger brother a lot! I mean..A LOT! so he probably remembers my name, and would tell his bro that he got a letter from me. and then his bro would tell him not to write me back and that i am just a freak(it wasnt reciprocated) and that i make things awkward. what should i do? because i dont want this guy thinking im a freak before we even meet...

in an earlier post it shared the scripture D&C 9:8. I looked it up in the scriptures and continued reading into verse 9. I havent felt the way it said it was not from the spirit. plus to all others: i never said that i was planning on marrying him while I barely know him. I know its going to take awhile. I want to be best friends first. Its a good foundation.

the spirit can send you in a different direction during class though...like you are going off on your own little adventure and that the spirit is telling you something you needed to know personally. I know so because 1)we discussed that being a very likely possibility and it really has been this year for lots of kids in my class. Its the most spiritual and amazing seminary class I have ever been in and I'm positive that it was from the spirit because I had been trying to find answers about right decisions,the future,the present,actions from the past. And when I felt what I felt it had totally answered all those things I just lisited and it was very warm feeling that brought a very true smile to my face and I have felt just as strong as I did then still. Trust me on this one: Im a huge thinker.I would have thought all this was just dumb and useless to me by now if I knew it didnt come from the spirit. The feeling received by the spirit felt like warm fuzzies that brought goosebumps(in a good way) and brought a real true smile to my face. Now honestly if it was just my mind coming up with this I wouldnt feel as great about it still as I do now, and when my mind just thinks of something similar to these kinds of things in no way is there ever a burning in a bosom, a feeling of peace, warm fuzzies, and happiness. To me those 4 things feel like the spirit.

haha wow...i put prompting....i really truly meant burning of bosom because that is what I felt.

Taldarin---thats not how I meant it. The scripture FunkyTown shared was how I felt(and thank you FT by the way for sharing that..I have been trying to find a scripture about this stuff forever!)...that burning in your bosom feeling...that really weird enjoyable feeling you get..no chills but literally that overwhelming feeling.

my friend is going on his mission there
