writes:I'm just wondering if any of you truly believe that if we pray for a sign of something, God will show us. For example, this might sound really silly, but I've fallen in love with this guy, and seriously, it's love. Not lust or infatuation. I'm pretty much convinced that he feels the same, but neither of us have said it and I can't continue without little flirting and stuff, when inside I'm so past that. I am in love with this guy. Anyway, I was just about ready to just let go of him, and I told myself he couldn't possibly love me back because he would have said something (though I haven't told him...) I said to myself, "tomorrow, I end this whole thing, and move on." But I just couldn't convince myself to actually do that. I needed to know how he felt. So, out of desperation, I prayed. I asked God to please give me some sort of obvious sign that he felt the same.The next day at school, just as I'm leaving with my friends, we stopped to look at some art in the halls, he walks right up to me and starts a random conversation about the painting. He has NEVER initiated the conversation. EVER. We talked for like 5 minutes, and as it fizzled out, he still wouldn't leave. I then moved a bit to another painting with my friends, and he came over AGAIN and started a conversation, asking me random questions and stuff. He just wouldn't leave. Finally, my friends were going, so I said bye and left. As we're leaving our school, we passed the chapel (you have to pass it to leave) and two NUNS walked out! This doesn't seem so strange, EXCEPT that we have NEVER had nuns in our school before. My friend even made a comment! Something like, "we've never had Nuns. Since when do Nuns come here?" And THEN, one of the Nuns turns to me, and smiles and waves! There were HUNDREDS of people around, and I watched, she only waved at me. How random?? I know it's probably just my imagination...but what do you think? I'm actually starting to believe it after that...(though I'm still not confident about his feelings, even though he's given me every sign in the book + other people have said it lol).

 You'd be surprised how many girls get coy about who their love interest is, that's why I asked. It changes the answer for me, and I just wanted to make sure we weren't encouraging an unrequited love for a teacher. ;)
So you're feeling that all these signs point toward you and he being together, eh? Well, why not? I think faith is a personal thing and if that is how you choose to filter the world, who am I to say that is wrong?
Anyhoo, it seems he doesn't DISlike you, now, after keeping you talking for so long, right? So what is your next step, do you think? I'd say keep talking to him and get to know him better; don't tell him yet that you love him, that might scare him off, if he isn't sure yet how he feels about you. You don't want to come on too strong or with too much emotion just yet, I think.
I wish you good luck in your love life!

 If he's giving you "every sign in the book" and other people have said it, then he probably does like you. As for the Nun thing - freaky coincidence, in my opinion.
If God exists, I don't think He would care about our romantic relationships or give you signs in regards to it as it does nothing to benefit His Glory.

I do believe God is behind this, but I recommend you investigate Carl Jung, and Synchronicity.

I personally is in a similar situation as yours one but the only difference is she doesn't like me.
I had prayed to God for this incident nearly every single night because simply I was mentally exhausted.
Praying to God does give yourself some kind of better feelings but in reality you are the only one who can change the future of yourself. I have been persuading myself to leave her but everyday I fail. I understand how hard it is.
When human comes to love, we become irrational and emotional. This happens to everyone including myself. I got into one of the top state school in the UK but I didn't choose it simply because I couldn't persuade myself to leave her even though she doesn't love me. I kind of feel God had allowed to me to choose my future but I have chosen love instead of academics. But I still got a scholarship from the school I am going to, so thats pretty good.
God is up there in somewhere watching us all the time and he will give his hand out when you are stuck but it is you who decides to take it or not.
Good luck.

reader, anonymous, writes (3 June 2011): yes I think this is a sign. And the thing with the nuns sounds very...strange..it has to be a sign of some sort.
yes I do believe God gives signs to those who have a close relationship with Him...but you have to have a close walk with him in order to know or be receptive to the signs he's giving you. Also He gives you signs if your heart is in the right place, as in, you endeavor to do what God wants you to do, not what you (as a human being) want to do for yourself. I have struggled with this all my life (and I'm in my 30s) which I think is why I don't often get clear cut 'signs' from God when I ask for them and instead I struggle in seeming silence and end up making my own decisions (only to regret them later on).
also sometimes not giving you a sign, is also a sign..if that makes sense...
I have friends who have a very strong faith (more so than me, I know) and who seem to 'have it easy' in terms of getting clear cut signs from God at every major fork in the road in their lives (like who to date, who to marry, when to marry, when to have kids, what job to take, where to relocate to...) and things turn out swimmingly well each time. whereas I'm still very stubborn and have a hard time listening to God as opposed to doing what I want to do.
I've not had such luck with Signs. for me I've agonized over personal life choices, only to find that most of the choices I made were bad ones and regretted it....
