How to Get into A Relationship with a Christian Man
These are some of the signs that a Christian man likes you. Of course, not every Christian man will show his interest in the same way or at the same pace. Some men may be more shy or reserved than others. Some men may be more direct or expressive than others. The best way to know for sure if a Christian man likes you is to ask him or wait for him to tell you.
-
Be confident and authentic. Don’t try to be someone you’re not or pretend to like something you don’t just to impress him. Be yourself and let him see the real you. Show him your strengths and your weaknesses, your passions and your fears, your faith and your doubts. He will appreciate your honesty and vulnerability⁴.
-
Show interest in him. Don’t play hard to get or act aloof. Let him know that you enjoy his company and that you want to get to know him better. Ask him questions about his life, his hobbies, his opinions, or his experiences. Listen attentively and respond with empathy. Compliment him on his appearance, his talents, or his character¹³.
-
Ask him out. If all else fails, you can always take the initiative and ask him out yourself. There is nothing wrong with a woman making the first move, as long as she does it in a respectful and feminine way. You don’t have to be too direct or aggressive. You can simply suggest an activity that you think he would enjoy, such as going to a concert, a museum, or a coffee shop. You can also ask him for his help with something, such as fixing your car, tutoring you in a subject, or volunteering for a cause⁴.
These are some of the tips that can help you get a Christian man to ask you out. Of course, there is no guarantee that he will say yes or that he will be the right one for you. But if you pray for guidance and follow God’s leading, you can trust that He will work everything out for your good ( Romans 8:28 ).
To illustrate these points better, let me share with you a story of how a Christian woman got a Christian man to ask her out.
A Story of How a Christian Woman Got a Christian Man to Ask Her Out
Anna was a 25-year-old single woman who attended a small church in her town. She had been praying for a godly husband for years, but she had not met anyone who matched her criteria. She was looking for someone who loved God more than anything, who shared her values and beliefs, who was kind, respectful, loyal, and faithful.
One day, she noticed a new guy at church. His name was David and he was 27 years old. He had just moved to town from another state and was looking for a new church home. He seemed friendly and polite, but also shy and reserved. He had dark hair and blue eyes, and Anna thought he was very handsome.
She felt drawn to him and wanted to get to know him better. She decided to follow some of the tips mentioned above and see if he would notice her.
First, she started talking to him more than usual. She would greet him warmly every Sunday and make small talk with him before and after the service. She would ask him how he was doing, what he did for work, where he lived, and what he liked to do for fun.
Second, she showed interest in his beliefs and values. She would ask him about his faith journey, his views on certain topics, and his personal testimony. She would also share her own beliefs and values with him and tell him how God had worked in her life.
Third, she invited him to church events and activities. She would tell him about the upcoming Bible study group, the youth group outing, or the movie night that the church was organizing. She would also ask him if he wanted to join her and some of her friends for lunch or coffee after church.
Fourth, she paid attention to his body language and facial expressions. She noticed that he would smile more when he talked to her than when he talked to other people. He would also make eye contact with her frequently and lean in when they conversed. He would sometimes touch her arm lightly or stand close to her when they were in a group.
Fifth, she complimented him sincerely and frequently. She would tell him that he had a nice shirt, a nice haircut, or a nice smile. She would also compliment him on his skills, his talents, or his character. She would tell him that he was smart, funny, or kind.
Sixth, she prayed for him and with him. She would pray for him privately, asking God to bless him, protect him, guide him, and reveal His will to him. She would also pray with him when they were together, either before a meal, before a date, or before a difficult situation. She would ask him if he had any prayer requests and share hers with him.
All these actions made David feel special and appreciated. He realized that Anna was different from other women he had met. She was not only beautiful and charming, but also faithful and godly. He felt a connection with her that he had never felt before. He started to develop feelings for her and wondered if she felt the same way.
He decided to take a risk and ask her out. He waited for the right moment and approached her after church one Sunday. He said, “Hi Anna, I really enjoy talking to you and spending time with you. You are such a wonderful person and I admire you a lot. I was wondering if you would like to go out with me sometime. Maybe we could go to dinner or see a movie or something.”
Anna was overjoyed. She had been hoping that he would ask her out for a long time. She smiled and said, “Yes, David, I would love to go out with you. Thank you for asking me.”
They exchanged phone numbers and agreed on a date and time. They hugged each other and said goodbye.
Anna thanked God for answering her prayers and bringing David into her life. She felt excited and nervous about their first date. She hoped that it would go well and that they would have a good time.
David also thanked God for giving him the courage to ask Anna out. He felt happy and relieved that she had said yes. He hoped that she liked him as much as he liked her.
They both looked forward to their date and prayed that God would bless their relationship.
This is just one example of how a Christian woman can get a Christian man to ask her out. Of course, every situation is different and every person is unique. But the main point is that if you like a Christian man, you can show him your interest in respectful and feminine ways that will make him notice you and want to pursue you.
Remember that God is in control of your love life and He has a plan for you. Trust Him and follow His leading. He will bring the right person into your life at the right time.
