No - I won't do this so long as I am not given reason to fear being around you...

I will do stuff with you so long as we can't act mature together -- as friends.

Simple answer: Yes

Elongated answer: Yes -- I have prayed about this A LOT. And I can't say that what I did was exactly what God told me to do. On the other hand, he is a personal God and of the numerous times I have felt God's presence, I have never felt any leading that you are "the one", or for that matter that I am "wacko". Perhaps I am also blinded by emotion, but I am sure I will soon find out.

I must say this, though... Any time I have prayed long and hard about something I tend to be most at peace with the decision that it would appear at a later time that God was leading me to. I walked away yesterday feeling sad and somewhat guilty that I had hurt you like that and yet I felt a peace that I did the right thing.

For you to say that God thinks I'm wacko -- I take offence to that.

Yes

Yes - I do want to be friends. I totally value your friendship. It seems as though anytime I tried to tell you something to this effect while we were seeing each other you'd take offence to it. I was trying to say how much I valued our friendship while at the same time not belittling the boyfriend/girlfriend part.
