Heart-to-Hearts

I love getting to know the people around me better. When we delve into real life issues, it helps me get to know my friends better. I had a heart-to-heart last night with two of my guy friends about the dynamic of male/female relationships. It was so good to get their insight.
One day I hope and honestly believe that I will marry my best friend. But you see that makes things tricky.... Although it's a great idea (and one I'll hold on too until further notice), it is difficult to take a friendship from platonic to romantic without the fear of awkwardness that could incur if one side does not feel the same. The dilemma becomes do you run the risk of ruining a friendship to get the internal feelings off your chest, or do you wait. Do you wait to see if the other will ever say something? Do you wait to see if it just naturally goes there? Do you simply continue to torture your insides with the not knowing? Well, maybe so. Maybe it's best to let things come naturally. Like it's stated in 'He Just Not That Into You', if a guy is interested he will let you know. So if he wants to make it happen he will, and if he's not... well then, he's just not interest. Plain and simple.
Ladies, how do you change a mindset? Since your mind has already 'gone there', how do you train it to withdraw from the feelings it's been accustomed to having. How do you just shut them off? Is that even possible, or do you have to live one day at a time in hopes that the feelings will go away one day?
Isn't it silly how we can allow things like this to consume, when relationships are solely meant to enhance life? We get in our own way of happiness so many times.
I'm so glad that I don't have to worry, because God is the keeper of my heart. He comforts, guides and loves me better than an man I could hope for.

Sarah+God=Forever.
