Having Sexually Active Friends

The friends I am referring to are Christian and both have loving boyfriends. And I recently found out that they are sexually active with these said boyfriends. It’s making me feel insecure and jealous. I feel ‘behind’ knowing that even my friends are able to get boyfriends and have sex. Even though it’s against the Lord, which makes me feel guilty for feeling jealous about it. I used to be able to get a boyfriend pretty easily, in fact I dated a lot in my past, but once I got closer with the Lord I’ve yet to date for nearly 3 years now. At first it was fine, I was taking a break for myself, but now I’m wanting a relationship again and hearing about my friends not only have loving Christian boyfriends, but they are taking their relationships to the next level as well. I’ve started feeling ugly and weird, constantly questioning why I can’t even get a guy to look in my direction anymore. How do I stop feeling this way, I used to be proud of how long I’ve gone without being sexually active, or vaping, or drinking, but now I’m starting to feel like there’s no point. I’m worried I’m losing faith.

Immense Guilt for Sinning

Of course, I told myself I would never ACTUALLY get with him, and I didn’t. He has a girlfriend and I respect that. Now, I am an old soul at heart, I compliment everybody and call everyone sweet nicknames like babes, hunny, etc. The reason I feel so guilty is because I knew I liked him and deep down just wish I was calling him those names romantically and not platonically like everyone else. His relationship is toxic, to which he is aware, which is why in my head I thought it was okay, but then I pictured it from the girlfriends point of view and I feel so terrible. I’ve decided to completely not call him those names and instead to resort to genuine nicknames of his actual name, as well as compliment him in way more friendly ways. I am not gonna ask to call him often (we call extremely often) and I may even decide not to hang out. He said his relationship might be over because he told her he’d give her one more month to prove to him she can do better, however that gives me no right to swoop in, I feel bad, is there any advice for this guilt?

He’s a bit of a troublemaker

I really like this guy, and he likes me. It’s something I had been praying over for a long while. He’s Christian, in fact, he wasn’t raised Christian and decided to go to church and worship Jesus on his own. There’s just one problem, he disobeys his parents. He sneaks out, when grounded at least. He doesn’t really do anything else bad that he hasn’t put behind him, however this one thing is something he can’t help but find himself doing because he can’t stand having to sit in his room banned from talking to people and doing anything. I’m just worried that if I date him, God will be disappointed, or that he isn’t right for me, however, usually I get incredibly anxious and scared when a possible relationship blooms, this is the first time in awhile I have felt really good and stable. Should I drop it? Wait it out and have him “prove himself” a little more, or will I be okay?

Freshman and Junior

He’s (15M) a freshman and I’m (17F) a junior in high school. Is that weird? We aren’t official but definitely in some sort of talking stage and I’m worried that people will see me as a “pedo.” I’m also overly anxious about most things, and despite him making more moves than I, I’m worried people will find me as some sort of freak who preys on younger guys because I can’t get one my own age.

advice please

i have this friend, and recently its felt extremely one sided, like shes talks about herself a lot and all of her amazing achievements and while im happy for them it feels almost like shes trying to prove a point, like it almost feels like shes bragging but she doesnt mean to. i may just be a terrible person whos jealous, but nonetheless these feelings have made this friendship hard to work with. i feel that she only hangs with me for the attention i give her, i constantly compliment her, show her affection, etc. i worry she doesnt actually enjoy being with me, and also i feel that my problems get overlooked, or like they arent that big of a deal, and while i know its selfish to assume that they SHOULD matter to others, idk, it throws me off a bit, like she knows i struggle with negative thoughts and stuff but she will just briefly ask about them as if theyre normal. im probably overthinking, but its how ive been worrying recently. this friendship means the world to me but its started to not feel so genuine. its hard for me to enjoy my time when i find myself feeling criticized or less worthy when im with her, even though im sure that isnt her intention. i find myself constantly comparing myself to her now. idk im prolly overthinking and just a jealous friend. and theres also been times where she hangs with the wrong people, people who are mean, and ill tell her that, and she will tell me that theyre different now and brush it off, but every time shes done that she will find out that they arent different and ARE still mean and come back to me and it just feels so disingenuous, like im default when things go wrong. i feel disgusting and terrible for feeling this way but i just dont know what to do.
