How do I know if I've found my soulmate?
I know! It sounds riddiculous!
But there's this guy I've known since I was 11, we're both 19 now and 2nd year university students. We've gotten the chance to become pretty good friends within these last two years, by the most interesting series of serendipitious circumstances. It all started in the year 2002 when I moved out of the continent and started junior high in a country I had never even heard of. Anyways, that's where we met, and I didn't really aknowledge his existence. I was 11, and angsty and it all just seems so long ago and funny. Forward three years later, I moved back to North America, and started high school. Funnily enough, the year I moved, when I was 14, he actually told me he liked me! It was awkward and random, and my only way to react was to say: WHAT? He said nevermind, blushed and walked away. And I still remember that. He thinks that I actually didn't hear what he said (ha ha ha) so to this day, he thinks I don't know about his little 14 year old crush. But anyways, turns out that he moved to the EXACT SAME CITY as me a year later. How did I know? I was working as a cashier at Safeway when I was in grade 11 (WORST job ever) and he happened to come through my till with his mom. We didn't recognize each other at first, and it was late, and I just wanted my shift to be over, until he saw my nametag and the rest is history. Anyways, I didn't think much of this encounter, except for maybe...how random? But I didn't see him again for the remainder of my highschool years, and I think we might have talked on facebook once or something. To me, he was just a guy I knew. Now, flash forward to September, 2008: my freshman year at university. I was taking the bus to campus, when somebody called my name. I turned around, and I didn't recognize who the person was (because he had a beard, LOOOL) but upon closer inspection, it was the GUY (let's call him Gus, for forum purposes). Anyways, turns out Gus and I were both in the same faculty in the same university. So we started chilling and what-not, first year, I just saw him as a pretty chill guy. Anyways, just wanted to say that we're both Muslim, and we're both religious (all though he's a little bit more intense than I am) so in NO way am I thinking of doing anything...you know, haram. But we've become good friends, and I like being around him. I do. And I've never really liked someone before. I mean, I've thought people were cute for maybe like...2 days or so, then forgot about them. But I think about him a lot, and how sweet and dorky he is, and how we get along so well. But like I said, I'm religious, and I respect myself too much to say anything! I think the feeling is reciprocated because he does anything I ask him too (it's kind of funny
), I've noticed him getting really nervous around me, and there have been multiple times that we've hung out during one of my long and boring 2-3 hour breaks, and he totally loses all sense of time and ends up skipping like ALL his lectures (that's kind of funny too), and he actually used to randomly do my homework last year without me knowing ('cause he knew that I either didn't know that I had homework, or didn't know how to do it and probably gave up hope on it), so he's the sole purpose I managed to pass Physics II. Anyways, he's really, really, REALLY religious, and that is what I think draws me to him. He's the only guy I know who will catch all of his daily prayers, even when at school (it's not often that you hear someone say, BRB, I gotta go pray Thuhr, when you're just chilling), and I'm religious too. But I just DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. One thing though, is that I'm trying to talk to him less and less for two main reasons:
1. Everytime I ignore him, he starts calling and texting randomley, and it's kind of cute (I know! That's so bad!)
2. Sometimes when we hang out, I get really flirty, mainly because his reaction is amusing (i.e. the nervousness and blushing, etc.)__ I know this is REALLY wrong on so many levels and very manipulative, but I've repented so many times and it's only really happened a couple of times.
Anyways, I'm trying to be less close, because I don't want anything bad to happen. But I really care about this guy. And I know he cares about me too, as I've seen the jealousy and over-protectiveness. And like I said, he's really religious so he doesn't really give other girls the time of day. But what in the world am I supposed to do? I know what I WANT to do, but that would just be a direct passage to hell (hahaha, I'm only kidding!).
Sorry if this **** post is sooooo long. There's a lot to say!
Thanks guys for taking the time to read this (if you did, even).
