Crush on a youth pastor.

[ChurchGirl]

I have known him for a couple of years but we have never actually talked to each other aside from the hello, good bye, and God bless you pleasantries that we have exchanged. I met him when I was around fifteen and I developed a crush on him that I ignored due to the fact that he was three years older than me.
It did eventually fade but it has been five years since then and lately, seeing him preach to the youth and kids, generally just watching him grow up so well those feelings have come back. He seems to be extra sweet to me and his face brightens him when he sees me, he just pays a lot more attention to me more then he ever has.
I am twenty now and I have never had a boyfriend or anything so this stuff makes me nervous. I'm not sure what to do about it..
I'm not sure if I should just push my feelings away like I did once before, I have prayed about it a lot but I haven't received my answer yet and I'm looking for fellow Christians advice.

Go with the flow, don't push and don't retreat, just be your lovely self, keep your eyes and ears on God and see what happens, I'll be thinking of you

Give him some time to work up the courage, if he's interested. If he takes too long, doesn't hurt to be forthright.

i would just wait for awhile. keep being pleasant and getting to know him. remember your feelings may have been there for awhile but his may only be just developing. Keep waiting it out!!
