I'm one of those ones who drifted away before getting to heavily in...thank God...but upon arrival in my new house I found a letter, a HAND WRITTEN letter in my letterbox from a local witness saying they had called around a few times and no one had been in, had a special message etc etc and gave an address which is a kingdom hall should the residents wish to contact her. is it usual to write such a long hand written letter?? i think it's a bit strange. or maybe that's how they roll now?

Lo
I was seeing a guy for a few months, both of our first ever 'real' relationships. It was very special and we were very close, but when it came to intimacy I was very uncomfortable. I was studying the bible with JWs and seriously considering joining the, ahem, 'religion'. I knew I'd have to tell him I couldn't have sex until I was married. At the time I knew I didn't sincerely want that, but there was no way I could have that kind of relationship and be involved with the JWs at the same time. I also wasn't in any way ready for that level of intimacy just yet. I just kind of wanted a way of making sure that side of the relationship was put on the back burner. So instead of messing him around, I straight out told him I couldn't have sex until I got married. Extreme, I know, and you have no idea how much I regret being so blunt. So he ended it with me, as is perfectly acceptable, and as I expected he might. He said he couldn't wait that long for someone whos beliefs he didn't share, but he'd never felt that way about anyone, yada yada. We agreed to stay friends, but that didn't work out as it's clear we both still have strong feelings, but can't be together, for that one reason. And friendships can't exist in that environment. Fast forward 9 months and I no longer have anything to do with JWs. I don't have the same extreme feelings I had towards sex. I certainly don't want to wait until I'm married, just until I find someone I love that much, the 'right' person, whatever that means. I'm still absolutely crazy about him though. I just don't know what I should do about it. I'm not the kind to ever beg someone to get back with me. Do I make it known my feelings on the subject have chaged and see what he does about it, or do I cut my losses and move on? He DID break up with me for that one reason alone, but I know he's a good person and to be honest I think it's perfectly reasonable to break up with someone who wants such an extremely different thing to you. Now that our ideals are more in synch, perhaps the relationship would work out this time. Or perhaps I should write it off completely and find someone I don't have a complicated history with. I have no idea, and the whole thing is consuming so much of my thought. I'd appreciate some opinions from other people maybe.
