Hi there, just wanna drop a story here.

So here's the story (please note: this isn't a recent tale).

I used to have this suitor, but we're not really in touch anymore after I found out everything. He was
courting me for almost 2 months, and I actually had feelings for him too, and I could tell he knew. That's
what scared me, you know? I was worried he might stop making an effort because he already knew.
Little did I know, he was entertaining someone else, haha. I couldn't believe it, especially since we've
known each other since our youth days. We've been friends for so long, I never thought he'd be talking
to someone else while dealing with me, especially after he found out I had feelings for him. I'll admit I
was hurt, and I know I don't really have the right to be, but at the same time, it kind of felt like I did
because he said a lot of things to me, and then I found out he was talking to someone else. He actually
denied being my suitor to that sister, while also denying to me that there was something between them
and that sister. That's when I decided to step back. I forgave him, but I also let him know that what he did
wasn't really cool. I hope he learned something from me and that he won't do the same thing with his
next partner.

I realized that maybe Heavenly Father let that happen because He was protecting me. That's the only
motivation I had to completely let go of that person. My feelings for him were genuine, and he's
genuinely a good person in many ways, but I guess that's just how it goes; nobody's perfect. So, that
heartbreak made me wiser, and now I'm fully focused on my studies. Brother and I are still friends, and
there are still people who ship us, but we just laugh it off. Brother wanted to give it another shot with
me, and I can sense that he's in love with me, but I don't want to take that risk again. So now, we're just
friends, and I heard that the sister he was entertaining is still actually in love with him and is trying to get
back together with him. So yeah, I'm better off being single. That's my story, haha. Just want to remind
everybody that God's "No" may be painful, but it's His way of protecting us. To all the sisters out there,
never settle for less. God has prepared the right man for you. There are still 7 billion?? I don't know, but
what I mean is there are still many men out there who will treat you the right way. Just because
someone's a member doesn't mean they're automatically the right fit. There are stories out there where
non-members became members and everything turned out pretty well. If it's not eternal, then make it
eternal. You might even be the way for someone else to find the true church and the fullness of the
gospel of Jesus Christ. So, sisters, be wise with your "YES" and to whom you give it. That's all for now,
bye-bye.
