I am in love with my ex boyfriend from 13 years ago and now he is really into the church. I am not where he is right now with the church but I am getting there. And I find it hard to relate because I do not know all the scriptures in the bible but I do believe in God. I am very spiritual in another way than him because I don't feel like I have to speak of the bible all day long like he does. Not that it is something wrong with that but I just don't have to do that all day. He has been through a very bad marriage and I can't tell if he wants me or just wants me to get deeper into the bible.

I know he cares about me but I want him to love me. I am very sexual but I have slacked up with that, and he use to be but I think he is trying to change that. He has been telling me to meditate and read the bible like he wants me to get for real about it. He say that I have a special spirit that I haven't taped into yet.

The thing is how can I get him to fall in love with me?

Or do i have to move faster with my bible knowledge and tap into my special spirit that he is talking about?

Don't get me wrong I am not a bad person that is trying to use the bible to get this man, and I do not live a wild life. You would probably think I was heavly into the bible. It's just I think he is my soulmate but I don't know if he think so. I told him how I feel about him and he said he know. Not saying that he feels the same.

How do I get him to notice me as a potential lover?

Well 1, don't play with God. Don't use the name of God to entice someone into loving you. If you get closer to God, do so b/c the benefit involves you & God, NOT you & a man.

While it's honorable that he is spreading the word & encouraging others to believe in God, it's not right for him to try forcing his beliefs on you.

1 of the greatest things about some religions is that it teaches others not to judge others or look down on the lost. While it's great that he's come so far in his journey towards getting closer to God, he has no right to look down on you all b/c you're not where he is. After all, there was a time when he was in your shoes & wasn't that close to God.

If you're ready to get closer to God, that's GREAT, but make sure he knows that you (like him & everybody else) will only feel comfortable doing so if you can go at your own pace.

Sure, now that he's a "bible thumper" he may not be into the flesh or common temptations that may entice other men who are not this way, BUT that doesn't mean that he's not still human. You can do/say the same things to get a bible thumper attached/attracted to you the same way you could someone who was not religious at all.

After all, most humans are enticed by the basic things when looking for a companion: Someone they can open up to, someone whom they have alot in common with, someone who they feel compatible with physically, emotionally, spiritually, psychologically, sexually, etc.

While it's great that you & him have God/spirituality in common, there's still more to a person than their religious beliefs. What about his other hobbies/passions? Find out what really makes him tick. Just be yourself. Don't try to turn into something that you're not or ready to be b/c trust me, he'll pick up on this, & if he does he won't respect you or desire you regardless of how many great qualities he sees in you. No one likes a pretender, especially Christians!

Ask him these questions. Ask him what he likes. Ask him how he feels about you. Don't feel so guilty when it comes to trying to establish another kind of bond other than a spiritual one.

I wasn't thinking of using god to get his attention, and we do have other things that we enjoy. But for some reason I feel like the religion thing is his issue with me and I think he doesn't trust women; or he has given them up. All I know is he is always quoting the bible and telling me to study the word. And like I said that does not bother me but what does bother me is that he always has great things to say about me and my spirit. Since he thinks so much of me, why is he keeping his distance?

I told him that I have strong feelings for him and he said he know, he has always known. the only thing he has said about love is that he use to and that he should have married me 12 years ago.

I don't know I am thinking to just back away and never talk to him again, because my sexual feelings are very strong and it is making me crazy.
