text: Since we are in the same situation as you stated in the answer you submitted the other day.  I can tell you my side of the story and why I think this young lady does not approach you.  Ok, so you both know that you like each other and from the looks of one of your posts well I can see that religion interests you.  So, let me take a wild guess and see if I can decipher the reason why the one you like does not approach you.  She probably is religious as well and you may see her once in a while, maybe through a gathering or something like that.  You guys exchange a nice “I like you gaze” and then just continue to live, if no gaze then at least you try to say “Hi!” acknowledging each others presence.  She may not look depending on the situation she does not want to be too obvious, but she likes you, yes she does.  Have you thought that maybe, just maybe, because you both do not interact (talk, communicate) she may be afraid to approach you. The fact that you guys do not talk may even be the one cause that is alienating her from you.  Why? Because she thinks well maybe he is not interested in me.  Another thing if she does approach you why not ask some questions about her to get to know her better.  I think she is waiting for you to make the first move.  I am traditional person I prefer the man to make the first move.  Maybe she is also the same way.  You also have to make reference to culture, maybe in her culture the male is the one that makes the first move traditionally.  It means that he is interested in forming a relationship other than friendship with her.  You are like singling her out of the crowd and by asking her out you show her that you are serious about her and about this union.  I am pretty sure a friendship between you two is nonexistent; it is just pure “eyes” and “Hi’s” (since we are in the same situation).  Personally if I were her I would continue to wait for you to make the first move, since she likes (loves) you.  She probably has liked you for quite some time, maybe even years (I have liked him for years; it is only now that I am closer that I am trying to show him that I like him).  One more thing I saw in a movie over the weekend you know it was Valentines Day and well I said why not and I got this great idea.  I would ask a good male friend of his to encourage the one I like to ask me out or to get close to me.  See to what great lengths one goes just for a person you like (love).  I have not done anything yet and probably would not the idea seems a bit shaky.  I am glad that my question at least has helped you in your situation.  I pray that the Lord give you strength to get closer to the one you like (love).  Just do it! I know you will not regret it.  It is probably the best decision you have ever made in your whole life, I guarantee it.  Thanks for your advice, but I will wait for him, I have put him in Jesus hands. Let me know what happens. God bless you Mod!
