Love help: Wow… I don’t even know where to start. - Help.com

Wow…

I don’t even know where to start. I think I need to move on, but I really don’t know. I met this guy a while ago and about two months ago we kinda “hooked up” so to speak. I liked him prior to this and he liked me, still does in fact, but here is the snag: He is a Christian and though I share many similar beliefs with him, he is truly that he will go to hell for being gay. He has known his whole life that he is gay. After hooking up with him, my feelings went crazy and through the roof. It was a while after this that he told me that he didn’t want to “be that way”. I told him I understood, though I felt like I couldn’t breathe. Recently we hung out, just the two of us and talked for hours. He is incredibly intelligent and it was truly one of the best conversations I have ever had. He always hugs me when he leaves and I can feel the energy and emotion between us in such an indescribable way. I guess what I’m saying, long story short, is that I have never felt emotion like this before. I thought I had been in love before, but this is something that is so strong, it’s overwhelming. I don’t know if I should try to stick it out and see if something can come of it or not. He is dead set right now on not being gay. He thinks he can be “cured”. I tried to tell him that God will love him no matter what, and that no God would want you to be unhappy through your entire life. I want to help him, but I don’t know if I am really doing any good. If I stay around, even just as friends and someone he can talk to about what he’s going through, I still think that if he is feeling these emotions it’s just going to frustrate him. On the other side, I don’t know if maybe it will help him come to terms with the person he is and even better, maybe figure out this thing between us. I have an opportunity to move two hours away from him in six weeks. These next six weeks are going to be very busy for me, and I am not going to get much of a chance to see him. Should I move? Should I stay in contact with him? Or should I just forget the greatest feeling I have ever experienced from someone else and pluck myself out of his world? What’s best for him???

Wow this is tough, religion has a strong hold on a persons mind. Seems this is the case with your friend. I dont see how God would send a good person to hell just because he is gay. After all he made us we are all his children and loves us all unconditionally. (Im no religious) Anyways that is what i have learned from being around different Christians. So your friend thinks just because he is gay God will turn his back on him? Think again. There is no way to “cure” homosexuality, its just who you are and what your into thats all. Heck wasnt King James gay? (wrote a version of the bible) Im sure he didnt go to hell. Stay in contact with this guy, make him feel comfortable to be gay. Im sure in his daily life he is told many things on why not to be gay. Well do the opposite. Dont let go of this feeling, you might never get it again. Chase after what you want. Goodluck friend.

Yes, his mother is trying to “help him get over this”. He also has a guy that calls him to talk about it. Apparently he has been “cured” and has a wife and children. this guy is blind so my friend and I speculate that it would make it easier. He also has a psychologist who agrees with me. But beyond me, those are the only people he can talk to about this. I guess me staying in his life could at least balance out the two different sides of support.

i would stay in contact for sure, but i would try to get over him as more than a friend. just tell him that only he knows what is right for him. (i dont believe its something you can cure, but im not him)

Yeah, it’s hard to tell him that only he knows what is right for him when he truly believes that God knows better whats right for him and God does not believe that being gay is ever right…

And truth be told, I really don’t want to get over him. There’s something amazing there…. very amazing! It’s hard to do something you really don’t want to do. And if I remain in contact with him I will never get over him! The more I talk to him, the more I think of him.

Yeah… it’s always time. I’m somewhat vulnerable right now and really don’t want to get my heart broken again… not so soon after the last one.
