In reply to vanessa. Hi Vanessa...the things we do for ‘love’! lol It’s a good thing that we can learn from our mistakes and share with other women so that they can benefit. Well, I can probably write on budgeting as a single woman, but it’s premature for me to tackle managing money in a marriage. I’ll need some more experience first:) Plus, my main target audience is single Christian women at the moment. You never know what the future may bring!

Hi Kimberly, I enjoyed your post very much… and as I was reading.. an instance came to my mind when as a young girl, I would constantly reach out to a guy by calling his house…. and he was never there…. it just now, after many many years, dawned on me that he probably was not, never ever interested…. shoooo …. what we ladies do for attention… thank God I can laugh about it now because back then it was really serious…. but o; God is good.. I am now happy married with the Guy that pursued me the God kinda way…. Amen!

P.S. I would like to read your thoughts on budgeting as a single but also as a wife and how we should manage money in a marriage,. Also how women and men should view money..the God way..

In reply to Lisa. Hi Lisa! Thank you for your kind words:) Here’s my advice. If a guy meets a woman and he really likes her, she’ll be on his mind and he will message her. The fact that weeks have gone by and he hasn’t messaged you, means that he’s not that interested. I would recommend that you focus on being friends and not think that he’s romantically interested. Maybe he’s into networking:) In the future, instead of saying “hey let’s follow through”, maybe you can say “how are you?”. You never know what might happen in the future, but that’s where his head space is right now.

Much needed post Kimberly – loved it! Would love some advice related to this. I met a guy a few weeks ago in church who asked for my # so we could do coffee. He texted sending his info and then was silent for weeks. I then sent him a follow-up and we are now doing coffee tomorrow. He picked the spot we’re going to but I reached out with the initial text being like “hey let’s follow through.” I definitely don’t want to set the tone of things but wanted to get your thoughts on whether this was too much just so I know going forward?

Love that you spoke about the importance of befriending! Don’t go into the mindset that he could become a potential husband material.

This was a fabulousssssssssss article! In later years i have been concerned that my initiation would mean me setting the tone of the relationship, using your words. Also, i know a couple people who have pursued including me and it has not worked out well. I would only say to possibly have a DTR conversation if you feel that you have enough safety in your choice of approach so that you dont have to keep setting the tone. But i agree with the article 100%
