I am pretty sure I speak for the majority of the female population when I share these thoughts (correct me if I'm wrong, girls)-
Guys, we love you. I'm not gunna lie. Your existence in our lives fills a part of our hearts that was made for our male counterparts. You encourage, challenge and inspire us. We love you and cherish you as our friends.
Friends. Did you catch that? We love that we have guy friends in our lives. As much as our society conditions us to pursue romantic that is not what we are looking for from you.
Now, don't get me wrong, most of us do want a romantic relationship, but that is the goal not the journey. Right now, in this season of life, we need you to love us, support us and guard us as friends, as brothers. Please don't pursue us just because that's how you've been conditioned. That part of the journey is precious and should be intentional and sovereign.
And when we forget, gently remind us that you are here to support us and not to romance us. That is the purpose of the Body of Christ, of which you are a part.
Most sincerely and with love,
Anna Elizabeth
