It can be really difficult for a woman to know when she should stop talking to a man. Is he pursuing you or playing you? Is he trying to be respectful by going slow or is he just too passive? Is he inconsistent for a good reason or is he just a flaky man who is wasting your time?

Proverbs 11:27
Oftentimes it doesn’t take much to get radically different results. When it comes to finding the person God has for you, sometimes you are much closer than you think. You may just need to change a few small things before God will highlight your future spouse to you.

I believe God allows us to experience disappointments in life so that we can experience something even better. In other words, we often have to let go of what we thought we needed and wanted so we can then receive what God knows we actually need and want.
1 Corinthians 15:33
It shouldn’t be our normal practice to block people from our lives in an extreme way. If, for example, you like a man but it doesn’t work out, you may need to distance yourself for a bit so you can move on; but it’s not necessary to go to severe lengths so there is no evidence of his presence at all in your life.
