Going So Far

*Ames* says:
so I was talking to Alex in the student center last night, and we were sitting on a couch going through his old text messages. He was going quickly through them, and some of them were pictures. Now, he only became a "real" Christian a year or so ago... But there was a pic of breasts, which he said "I didn't know I had that on there,that's from before I wasa Christian, I'm so sorry" and we talked
*Ames* says:
briefly about porn, so apparently he used to struggle with it, but he says that he doesn't anymore. He said it was a temptation, but he hasn't in almost a year.
*Ames* says:
So because of that topic, I began to wonder how far he had gone, 'cus I know he used to drink. I asked him today at lunch and he said that he didn't want to discuss it in such a public place, so I asked him tonightin the student center and he said he didn't feel comfortable telling me yet, but he did say "I haven't been all the way"
*Ames* says:
=/
*Ames* says:
hmm, I just wanted to tell someone that. I mean, 'cus I don't know him that well. I think he has truly changed, but that kind of stuff makes me so uncomfortable, that he used to be so into all of that...
Adam {Broomstick} says:
yeah? do you think that'll effect your ability to stay with him/?
*Ames* says:
idn... I told him I didn't want to kiss, and he said he was fine with that. I'm pretty sure I can deal, but it just makes me sad for him, that he already did all that.
*Ames* says:
He's really patient, actually
*Ames* says:
the night he asked me to be official, I told him I wasn't sure yet, and he was so respectful, I explained to him all I was worried about and he didn't try to persuade me to date or anything, he justified my worries and we agreed to pray about it, though he had been praying about for 3 weeks by then
Adam {Broomstick} says:
wow...

*Ames* says:
wow what?
*Ames* says:
I'd been praying about it too, but only for 2 weeks or so
Adam {Broomstick} says:
he is a much better man than I...
Adam {Broomstick} says:
wow he is a much better man than I
*Ames* says:
why? what would you not have done?
*Ames* says:
I really like him...
Adam {Broomstick} says:
well.....first of all I don't think I could give up the stuff he gave up...I very much enjoy doing the physical stuff....
Adam {Broomstick} says:
yeah?
Adam {Broomstick} says:
I'm sure if he's willing to be so patient with you then he likes you too
*Ames* says:
Boys at Asbury are pretty unique
