The Dating Game: Putting the past behind me (yeah, right)

One with a past of severe hurt should make sure that the past hurt is insignificant enough not to influence his or her thoughts in a potentially new relationship.

I came to this realization recently. I'm quite interested in a young lady at my church. We've been on one date already and she has asked me on another this upcoming weekend. Every night since then, she's called me. I wanted to do the same, but I was afraid of chasing her away.
It's been three days and I haven't heard from her. She hasn't even returned my calls. My mind has created a heart wrenching picture of her doning "things" with her ex-boyfriend. Now that is within the realm of possibility, but it's also quite possible that she is busy preparing for a big move which I'm fully aware of. I believe the ladder is the true picture, and not that she's having her cake and eating it too.

Please, take my paranoia as a type of warning. At best, my imagination will cause me sleepless nights for nothing. Shes a good girl and doesn't deserve being compared to my ex-wife who hurt me plenty.
This has forced me to ask myself whether I'm ready for a realtionship. I certainly want one with her, but will it last if I'm alowing my imagination run wild? I've waited for years waiting for the right girl to come around and ask on a date. I find her and I'm paranoid because I haven't heard from her during a very busy weekend that marks a big change in her life.

If there are any christians out there reading this, please pray for me. 'Til next time.
