Hey YOU, Got a Profile yet?


Boys

Love across religious lines

 

I have an issue with my boyfriend. 

I really love him, BUT there's one huge issue. He's Methodist and I'm Southern Baptist. I don't know what the differences are, but I'm sure there are some. Can you tell me what they are and how to kinda overcome them?


I know we're both Christians, so that's good, but I don't want to say something and accidentally offend him. I truly know NOTHING about the Methodist religion. 

P.S. I'm eleven and he's twelve, so we really don't have any control over anything like going to other churches.



-Religiously Confuzzled

Hey girl!  I’m so happy that you’ve found a great guy!  Even though you are both Christian, I'm sure there are a few diffs.

 
A li'l lesson
 

Traditionally, Southern Baptists are more conservative, and strive to “save” souls.  They also believe in adult baptism instead of infant baptism. Methodists usually have broader views, and they allow adult baptism and infant baptism (christening). The church organization and leadership works in a lil’ bit of a diff structure, but both religions have pretty similar worship and beliefs.

 
Talk it out

Do some research. Investigate a bit to find some basic info on your BF's religion. But, the best thing for you to do is to talk to your BF. Next time you’re hangin’ out, talk about your religions. It could be as simple as, "Hey, I'm headed to my church this Sunday, but just curious—what goes on at yours?" Explain your traditions and beliefs, then listen to his. You’ll find there are prob some diffs, but there will also be a ton of values you share. It could def bring you two closer, and help you understand each other’s faiths.

 
Love your differences
 

The most important thing to do is to keep an open mind. No two peeps agree on everything, and I guess religion is one of your things. If you two have diff beliefs, don’t try to change his mind, and don’t let him try to change yours either. Look at it this way—how boring would it be if the two of you felt the same exact way about everything? Snore! Accept it as a difference in views, and you two will be good to go. It’s important to be able to talk about serious things like this, and I know it can be kinda scary. But in the end, if you’re accepting of each one anothers' beliefs, it will only bring you two even closer. I hope this helps! 

 
Good luck!
 
Xoxo

I was reading the other comments and I now have something else to say. God's love is bigger than any love. God IS love. Remember that. Also, the denominations are not seperate religions. I hate how there is so much hate between members of different churches. Aren't we all brothers and sisters in Christ?

orchdork333 on 1/30/2010 10:43:06 PM

this situation is exactly what happened with my parents. My dad was the son of an Episcopal pastor and my mom went to a Christian church (yes, that's a denomination). None of that ever mattered. They are still completely and totally in love after 16 years. My dad even became an elder at my mom's church. There really aren't that many differences. God has adopted you both and you are both loved by Him. Don't worry about it.

**********MOD MOD MOD MOD!!!!********************** okayy.. so i have the most amazing guy friend ever, and he is also my crush. he plays guitar, is in sports, and an all around good guy. he jokes around a lot, and one time we were out together in a group and we were joking around. all of a sudden, he starts telling everyone that i'm his girlfriend! so then i told him that he had to make it official and actually ask me. of course, i was kidding. however, he turns around and asks me. i thought he was kidding so i said no. now that i think about it, i thought that he was being serious and he actually likes me. he has a girlfriend now, and we are all in the same group of friends. the other day, he and his gf were hugging, and i looked over at him and his eyes caught mine. in that moment, he looked at me like he has never looked at me before. could there be something there?? i don't want things to get weird though...

 

Hey girl! There could be but the only way to know for sure is to find out from him! Try talking to him more and flirting a little! You may give him the confidence to let you know how he feels!

don't let anything get in the way of love if its true. if you love him, and he loves you, nothing will get in the way of it.

1 of my bffs delany likes this kid named drew. theyre both in my spanish class. at the school dance, me and my friends just finished dancein to like miley cyrus and she turns to my other bff and says," drew was totally just watching Ashley(thats me) while she danced". she was pretty annoyed. that was last week. then today, in spanish, delany was takin a missed quiz in the other room and i saw him lookin at me again. then she comes in and like 5 min later, shes like,"omg hes lookin at me!!!". but i sit right next to her.
does this sound like he likes me? and if it does, how do i make it so my bffs feelings dont get hurt?




Hey babe,

He might like you, but it's hard to tell. Either way, I think you should keep away from this guy if you don't want to hurt your friend.

My parents are somewhat different religions... My mom is Southern Baptist, and my dad is Catholic. We have found a non-catholic church that i love going to, but sometimes my parents argue over certain things with the religions. my dad says when i get older i will have to choose between religions, and I'm almost set on where we are now, because i'm learning so much more... any advice?

MODMODMOD Thanks Taeler! I was thinking of inviting him and a few other people over to do our history projects on WW1. The problem is, I don't really know who his other friends are besides Justin and Richard, and I'm not really friends enough with them to invite them over. I don't want him to be the only guy. My two girlfriends are triplets (they have a brother our age) so I was thinking him, but I don't think they're really friends. What should I do?

 

Hey girl! Well, it would be a good opportunity for them all to be friends! I say invite them and have a good time!

MODMODMOD Okay, I need some guy advice and sorry, but this is gonna be long. There's a boy named Jack (who I like) who is in my math class, which I have every day during 7th period (out of 8 including lunch,) and he's in my gym period (1st period so we roll out of bed and run laps outside at like 8:00 am) but not in my class (we have two classes in the gym and while one takes health for one marking period, and then we switch. Yes, our school is huge and has a ton of kids, around 1500 between the 6th, 7th, and 8th grade.) He has two guy friends that he's usually around, Justin, who is in his gym class (and none of my other classes), and Richard who is in my gym class (which doesn't really matter because we always just merge and do whatever we're doing together) and my math class. His friend Justin always says hi and looks at me when he sees me, and Richard attempts to talk to me (he always calls me Aliza when my name is Alyssa, which is also kinda funny) in math to ask what I got for answers and we'll goof around with this other boy, Phil(who's kinda hot but I don't really know him. I like Jack better cause he's better looking, funny, nice, we went to elementary school together too (I'm in 8th grade) etc.) I thought he might like me, but now he sits two rows to the right and one seat back. He used to sit behind me (where Phil sits now) or diagonally behind me to the left (where Richard sits.) He switched to over there one day cause this girl Nikki was throwing a fit like "No! I want to sit there!" even though Jack got there like 30seconds before her. We don't really have assigned seats but we usually sit in the same spot so ever since Jack sat further away, Phil and Nikki stayed there and he kinda stayed in that new spot. Then last night I txted him like "OMG! I just got BOOed for the first time ever!" and then went on to tell him I was probably that hyper because I had cocoa puffs for dinner. (BOOing is this thing we do in my area where you put candy or halloween stuff on someone's porch when it's dark and run and then they have to do it to two people) Then I realized that I probably just made myself look like an idiot so I txted him again like sorry, I was just hyper, but he never replied My friend is gonna talk to him for me, and I've already told him to let me know if he needed help with the math homework, and tried several of the icebreakers you have in the icebreakers section which worked pretty well. What do you think my chances are with him? Sorry this is soooooo long by the way! Thanks!

 

Hey girl! They only way to know for sure is to know through him. Keep talking to him and remember to smile! You'll get his attention sooner or later.

hey mod (me with the confusion again) me and bill switched schools this year, so we barely ever see each other. i mean like we pass each other in the halls and everything and say hey and everything but i don't see him enough to really be able to gauge if he likes me. so yeah haha. thanks again Smile

 

If you guys have known eachother for awhile I would be upfront with him. This is the best way to find out fast that way you aren't stuck worrying.

uhh hey MOD, i have a question. (anyone else who wants to answer, be my guest.) well, i have this guy friend that i'm pretty close with. we can call him bill. i used to like him, but now i think i'm over it, but i'm not really sure how i feel about him. so, a few weeks ago, bill texted me and asked me for some girl advice about this girl we both know (apparently she had been saying awkward stuff to him like "i love you" and he didn't know what to do). he told me not to tell any of my friends, but a friend was going through my texts and saw the message. she told some people, and bill found out, and then bill told me that it wasn't true at all, he was just seeing how i was going to react, which sort of annoyed me. but i just laughed it off and we were cool again. then last night, he texted me again and asked me that if he wanted to ask a girl out, should he do it in person or by text? and i told him in person, then i asked him who he wanted to ask out, and he said it's not me asking a girl out, someone else. (and idk if this is related or not, but bill doesn't really have any close guy friends, so i have no clue who the person could be.) so, i was just wondering, do you think bill is trying to "see how i will react" again? like i can't tell if he honestly needs girl advice,or if he is trying to lead me on, or what? guys are so confusing. thanks mod!

 

Hey girl! Yes, guys are confusing! But, he could just be a litte confused himself. Keep talking to him and being his friend. See what happens over the next few days and decide from there!

I recently started 7th grade so of course the subject of boys has come up alot for me and my friends, the thing is i'm not ready to have a boyfriend and i have been asked out twice already and both times it was EXTREMELY awkward how do i tell guys nicely that i don't want to go out with them? PLEASE HELP!!!




Hey girl, just tell the guys the truth: you're super flattered but you're just not ready for a BF. It'll let them down gently. The key, girl, is to be polite. When the right guy comes around, you'll be ready. Right now though? There's no rush, so don't feel bad about it!

this guy is in my electronic music class, and we are slowly becoming friends.
i think i really like this kid.
he's so cute, and seems really nice and fun. he's a freshman, and i'm a sophomore. anyways, we chat every so often before class starts, and then we wave in the hall, and yesterday he said "hey [my name]" when passing me at my locker. i always catch him looking over at me during class and at lunch, and whenever i do something silly he chuckles to himself. but, when we are walking out of class, i have nothing to say. and he and i walk quite a distance in the same path. any suggestions on what to chat about?

Hey girlie,

 

To be honest, I would tell him your feelings. If you don't tell him, he will probably figure it out on his own sooner or later. Just be careful not to come on too strong.

MOD
I've known my crush for a few months now and liked him the whole time. He and my friend were dating off and on for a while, but now they're done. I thought he might like me so I amped up my flirting and wrote on his Facebook that I expected a dance with him at this Halloween party we are going to. He wrote back, "But of course! Twould be an honor!" Then we both wrote smiley faces haha. Smile We talk online a lot and we could IM forever, but in person I get so nervous and shy around him... I'm always afraid I'll say something dumb or run out of things to say. =/ How can I help myself to be less nervous? I mean, knowing he likes me back is a little bit of a help, haha, and I can't wait to dance with him, but I don't want this party to be like all the other ones we've gone to- I want to hang out with him and talk and flirt. Tong Thanks!!!!




Hey girlie,




Try and hang out before the dance in a group setting. That way you won't be totally nervous hanging out with him alone. Make little moves like holding eye contact or touching his arm. Even if you're too shy to talk to him as much as you do online he'll know that you are into him by subtle movements. After a while you'll start to feel more comfortable around him and you'll be talking to him just as much in person as you do online.

HELP! I REALLY LIKE THIS GUY. He is a bit on the dorky side, he luvs video games and does just really dorky stuff. but thats not my prob, he doesnt notice i like him!!! He's really nice to all the other girls in my class besides me! It's not like he's mean just a normal semi-immature boy. Plus he flirts and smiles at this other girl in my class. I've liked him for three years now but he's never noticed if anything he likes that other girl. But my other friend lets call her Ray, she flirts with every boy in the class but she says she doesn't like anybody, yet she still flirts!! AND i think the guy likes ray aswell but the other girl flirts with the guy to!




Hey babe,




Ray probably flirts with everyone being nice and doesn't realize she's flirting. Try making an effort with the "dorky" guy. Get him to notice you by holding eye contact, smiling at him, or making an effort to go over and talk to him. Start flirting. Touch his arm. If you've like him for three years then make a move!

HELP!




Hey girlie,




You don't have to date someone in your circle of friends just because your other friends are. If you are into a guy then you should go for him. Your friends will be happy for you no matter what and they will accept him as your BF regardless of if he's in the circle or not.

Honestly, at your age it shouldn't matter. Religion really only causes problems in relationships when they get very serious in older teen years and in marriage. I'd say, just don't worry about it and have fun with this guy!

I always thought religion in a realtionship isnt that important. I dont think love should get in the way of your differences. I remember when I was in 5th grade and this guy and I were really good friends for about 5 months until he found out that I dont go to church(I am Christian, though). Then he stopped talking to me and said awful things behind my back. I never talked to him again

I don't really find religion a big deal. I dont want to offend anybody, if you have strong beliefs it's cool with me, but love is love and in my opinion, it goes beyond religion.

MOD I like a guy that has a girlfriend. If that isn't enough, my best friend likes him too. I know, i know, it's terrible and I should try to find someone who likes me and only me...but how am I supposed to get over him when he keeps flirting with me? He does it all the time...how can I tell him to stop without hurting our friendship?

 

hey girl!  It's never a good idea to get involved with a guy who's taken because you don't want to be that "other woman."  Instead of flat out telling him, try to show him that it makes you uncomfortable by not flirting back or moving away a bit if he touches you.  You can also try to mention his gf as a reminder to him that he needs to watch what he's doing. Best, kristen

MOD Heyy(: Well, there's this guy I like, he's in my grade and I have no classes with him, but that doesnt really matter. I pass him in the hallway occasionally and he just waves a little or says hi. I want to bring us a little further than a slight friendship, but idk what to do! i considered the arm-touching thing, but that wouldnt make any sense in a small wave or a pass in the hallway, so it wouldnt work. I used to text him but he's boring on texting and it gets us nowhere so I gave up. Haha, what do you consider I do for this situation? k, thanks tonss. (: --christina

 

Hey girl!  I'd try texting him again. Ask him how he's been and what he's been up to.  Ask him to hang out some time in person either after school or during the weekend.  You can go on a date, or a group date with your friends if you don't want it to seem too official.  best of luck, Kristen
