I can't ask my friends yet and it is really bothering me so help please? I'm a very socially awkward person..

We hadn't actually talked until December when we were serving at the same event and we were both waiting to get jobs. We started talking about the event and I remember thinking that he was unusually polite for a guy, but that he seemed oddly nervous. Then his little brother came and needed him for something. He said bye and started walking away, then he came back across the church and said that he would like to help me with any job I got, just find him. We talked and served together off & on the rest of the night. After that I would see him at church and all he would say was hello. I thought it strange. I did notice just a few times that he would be looking at me, and once he walked by my table when I was talking with my friends and I looked up to find him looking at me with a big smile. Then a few days ago we were teaching Sunday school and he was standing all alone against the wall (the kids were playing) I went over to talk to him. He got really nervous and kept dropping his keys, but he didn't leave. We talked for quite awhile and it got a little bit less awkward. We had a lot in common and he asked about my interests and stuff. But then all of a sudden he said he had to go but that he would talk to me later. I don't think he had to go anywhere but he was acting stressed. While talking he was extremely engaged and he kept the convo going.

So opinions? Thanks :)

Christians only answer please.

I was reading and comparing the Gospels with Paul s writings a few nights ago. I noticed that some things that Paul said didn t seem to match what Jesus taught. So I have been doing a ton of studying and learned that others, in fact many others, have run into this same problem. It got me thinking: where on Earth did Paul come from? He wrote more than half of the NT and started many churches yet Jesus never told the disciples about him. Jesus never for warned about Paul. I don t think Paul is mentioned in the OT either. So how is it possible for Paul to teach so much without Jesus telling the disciples? If Paul is one of the false teachers Jesus warned about in Matt 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21 that would mean the whole Bible is at question. Revelation 22 condemns anyone who adds to or takes out of the Bible. Paul spent time with Peter and Jesus brother and they didn t add anything to his message. So if Paul was teaching falsely they would have stopped him write? But how do we know that what Paul said about that incident was true? Paul also mentioned going back to Peter to have him check and make sure Paul wasn t running in vain. So Christians! Please give your take on this. :)

i m all stressed over it so be kind

-He always finds a reason to touch me.

- When talking alone or in a group he will stand as close as he can get to me, like inches.

-When I am talking to him he will rest his hand on my lower back or put his arm around me.

-He loves to give me hugs

-He always tries to give a full on hug even when i go for a side hug, this normally ends up with me squished and his face on my cheek

-He holds me in a hug longer then normal and likes to put his head on mine.

-Helps me with my coat or anything I am doing

-Pays close attention to me

-comments on how I look

-Plays with my hair

-touches my hands

-freaks if someone hurts me

Sorry for all that but I just wanted to give the details. I try to discourage all this and he backs off somewhen I do. Should I tell him he needs to not be so affectionate? I have hinted at this before and he just says 'but i love you' The problem is he is the person who I tell everything to. I trust him and know he wouldn't hurt me. (been alone with him many times and he is always trust-worthy.) But I think it is kinda odd that he is so touchy with me and not his other students. No, I definitely do not like him in a bad way, I love him as a mentor/teacher only. He does this in public and around my parents. My parents think it is sweet. I am probably overreacting because I don't really feel unsafe, the reason i am asking is because it has been brought up as weird by some people. Thanks!

I am just starting my new job and everything with the workers has been going great. There is always one girl and two boys per shift. I am young but tall and i look older. There is a guy that I used to think was funny because he is funny, now he is concerning me. He is three years older, maybe four. So he would come out to the concession stand and ask for something and would always find a reason to come and talk to me. He doesn't do this to the other girls. He would get really awkward and shy around me. Once he came up to the stand and was just staring at me, I was like "Can I get you anything?" and he was just like, uh what? So i repeated myself and his face turned red and he said no. Then the other worker came out and pulled him back to their office. I later over heard the other worker tell him to leave me alone or there would be problems. He hasn't left me alone and I don't know what to do, I am nice but I always try to keep everything based on work and make sure I keep my space. I am creeped out, what do i do? thanks

I tryed to post a recording but it didn't work. What he does is he freaks out over tiny things and makes them into a huge deal. He swears call me names and hits. He does this often. I am really worried. He is a different person at home then in public. The only person I could tell this to that would actually believe and help me is my pastor so is this serious enough to tell him? Is this normals?

If this link doesn't work tell me please.

He gets like this so often. He is actually pretty calm in this video, normally I would be crying or hurt. Is this normal for a parent or should I go to my pastor for help. He is so fake! At church he is this nice guy who never yells or swears then we get home and he is like this. (My mom doesn't do anything) and I was in the middle of an assignment that I would lose if I stopped then so that is why I couldn't go and do chores just then. I did go out and do them tho. Really I'm not a bad kid at all! I feel like crying, he never wants me around and treats me as I am a problem

I am really having problems with my job and I want to know how I can improve and fix this. I work as a cash register at the ice arena and there is a team of guys who are really giving me problems. They will try to mess me up and pull tricks on me and go and tell the boss something that I never said. I really need help because I am going to lose my job. I am 15 and a girl so what do I do when this team comes in and threatens me and lies about me? For instance They said I said that skating was free and they went and skated. Then They got in trouble for doing and said I told them that. Now what do I do?

So I have a small band of four. Two girls and two guys. Singer, guitarist (me), bassist, and drummer. So the singer has a major crush on the drummer (this has lasted about two years) and he had ignored it for the last two years. (They are all great people and I want the best for them) Now he is starting to like her back, which is great, they will make a great couple. But I am worried about the future of our band. I seen too many bands fall apart because of dating issues and I don't want our band to be one of them. We are all extremely talented and are doing great as a band but what if they actually start dating and then break up? If it becomes hard for them to be in a band together we will loose one of them and then we loose our band. So what do i do? I would love for them to date and wish the best for them, they honestly are a perfect match, and I really don't want to get in the way. But we are like family so if something happens to them all of us will be hurt by it. So help??

I have three six strings and I have always wanted to get a twelve string. I just love the sound and how they play. My pastor told me awhile back that they are really hard to find a good one, and that cheap ones will not hold up. He said the neck will warp and the bridge will come up. So is it worth it so get a good 12 string? I already have three nice guitars so I want others opinions before I make the jump.

Thanks!

I am a 15 year old female and I think I have the herpes virus. I have a cold sore on my mouth and big blister, boil things (3) around my bikini line. Is this something that is really bad? Will people think I am a prostitute or someone like that? Will I be looked down on from now on ? I will be in public today and my cold sore is very obvious. Can you tell me more about herpes and how to heal it somehow? I'm honestly scared right now. How did I get this virus? I have never kissed anyone on the lips but my parents. I have never been sexually active. I have never even had a boyfriend! I don't understand! Why me? Will no one ever be interested in me when I am older because of this? Please help and God bless

So I am scared to death of performing or playing in front of anyone. My pastor who is also my mentor wants me to play banjo with him in front of the whole church! I am scared and I don't want to do it. He isn't giving me no as a option. So how do I get out of this? My parents want me to do it too. :/ I don't want to hurt his feelings because he is the sweetest pastor ever and I love him but I just don't want to play in front of all those people. I have told him no and that I'm scared and he just says he will be there and I will be fine. So help? What do I do? Sorry I know this is pathetic... God bless!

I play guitar, banjo, piano, and harmonica. I lead a band and lead worship. I play advanced songs. But I haven't taken any lessons, but I still understand music and generally any instrument. I feel bad now. So when is a person considered a musician and am I one yet?

I am in a hard spot right now. I don't have enough time for both practicing all my instruments and training horses. I have to choose. My heart is with the music and i have a gift. I also have a gift with horses but I have lost it after I had to put my horse down, I can barely go out there and see them. I have always wanted to be a vet but now I want to be a worship leader. I don't have long to decide. I can't talk to my parents about this and I will talk to my pastor. I don't want to let my parents down because they want me to be a vet. It is just too hard for me to be around horses since losing my mare. What should I do?

I have always been the 'perfect child'. I am always the one at church, in school, in family, etc who is always polite, never struggles, never needs help, is always serving. So everyone thinks i'm close to perfect, that I don't need help. The truth is that i am slowly breaking. I can't keep up and I am falling apart. My mom has been sick since I was a child and my dad is abusive. I am too scared to reach out. But I am expected to be a vet, I used to want to be a vet. My parents have gone to great ends to prepare me to be a vet. Then i lost my beloved horse. Things fell apart and I just knew I could never be a vet, it would be too hard for me because of my loss. I turned to God and music. I learned that a have an amazing gift in music and i could have a future with it. I want to be a worship leader or creative arts pastor. I already lead worship at my church and I feel at home. I don't know what God wants me to do either. I will talk to my mentor about that. But I don't have time to keep up both interests. I have to choose soon. I really don't want to let my parents down but my heart is with the music. i am stuck. I am going to break and i am struggling with depression. Please give me advice, I can't share this with anyone. I am a good kid so please don't be hard on me

This is going to be long but please answer. I am stuck right now. I live on a hobby farm and I have wanted to be a vet since i was 3yo. A lot has happened since then. I lost my beloved mare and things fell apart. My mom has been suffering from a sickness all my life so she is crabby and short tempered. She says that losing my mare was my fault and it hurts. My dad is abusive. I want to get good grades in school so i study a lot. I don't have enough time for my two very important hobbies: Music and horses. I am being forced to choose. I'm super depressed and all I get is hate from my parents. Since losing my horse I can no longer be a vet, I just can't. I love my horses but I don't have it in me to spend time with them or train my colt. It just hurts to much to go out there and my parents are so negative so it is really hard. Then I have music. I really love music because it has been an escape from everything. I am really talented and could go a long ways. It is in my heart to lead worship and be in ministry with music. I lead worship now and have so many things calling for my attention in music that I don't have time for horses. I have to choose and I am heart broken because my colt is from the horse I lost and we have a amazing connection. But my heart is with the music. My parents would freak if I went to be a creative arts pastor or something in music. But i just can't be a vet, I wouldn't be able to handle it. Please tell me how to get through this!
