Your post is pretty old, but if you are having the same problem as me, it's been going on for a long time and if not resolved, will continue. Have you found an answer? I've never heard someone describe my problem with such exactness. This happens every time I start dating someone. I went for a period of six years without getting into a relationship because of this exact problem. I still cannot distinguish whether it is revelation or anxiety. The only clue that I have is the Cast Therefore Not Away Thy Confidence and Sister Holland's counsel in Who We Are and What God Expects of Us & Fear Not. After I almost ran on to a field and stopped an ultimate frisbee game to "make the feeling go away" I listened to this and I realized that feeling was not 'revelation'. "God is not a vengeful, punitive God who is somehow looking for new ways to torment, embarrass and punish you." Have you gained any other insights? I remain single and befuddled.
