When I first started dating after my divorce, my sister gave me an invaluable piece of advice. She told me not to spend too much time in a relationship if I knew the man was not the one the Lord wanted me to marry. She said that if I stayed in the relationship that I would run the risk of marrying him just because we grew on each other or for some other reason, only to realize after the wedding that I had made a huge mistake.
I cannot tell you how wise that advice was! There were a couple of men that I met that I may have married if I had hung around them long enough just because they were there. What a huge mistake that would have been! My whole life would have been ruined in either case! Instead I took her advice to heart and, as soon as I realized a man was not the one for me, I ended the relationship.
Because I did that, I was unattached when the Lord brought the man of my life to me. I didn't settle for less than the Lord wanted for me, and I am so glad I didn't.
So, I am begging you to consider taking the same advice that my sister gave me. If you realize that a man or woman is not the one for you, end the relationship. You will not regret doing it, believe me!
This also applies when the other person feels that you should remain friends but you feel stronger about that person. If they have determined in their heart that you are not the one for them to marry, even if you don't feel that way, end the relationship. If you don't, that person may decide to marry you without really loving you and then feel that they have made a huge mistake. Is that what you want to happen? I don't think so.
Of course, I am not talking about people that you meet where each of you realize that you aren't meant to marry each other and you both agree to just be friends. I am talking about a relationship where you are considering a person as a potential mate.
Just my thoughts...
Be blessed!
