I need some advice, comments, on personal issues

[Guest guest]

Dearest family,

 

 

I don't know where else to turn with such a personal issue, but I feel that at

least some of you might know of what I am talking about. I met someone six

months ago. (my neighbor) At first we were really good friends, until two months

ago, then we started to date. My issues are this. He is not of like mind. In

fact he isn't really spiritual minded in anyway and lacks a lot of

understanding. It has been about three years since I have even been with

someone. Its hard to let go of my own ways. Im use to doing things my way. I

always saw myself with someone who was of like mind. Someone to shoot the breeze

about Amma. Someone to encourage me on my path, help me, etc. And I know that we

all teach one another lessons, he has the patience of a Saint, He is a good man,

very sensitive, loves kids, he is a kid magnet and my daughters are thrilled

with him. He is a compassionate man. I have these huge inner issues which keep

me pushing him away. Although when I do this I miss him and I can't

do it. I have asked Amma for answers although I don't know if it is really her

or not she says that things will not work out?? I feel like I am being pulled in

two different directions. Trying to go down two different paths. I want to go to

the path on the left

(spiritual) and he wants to go to the path on the right (worldly) He tells me

that I can have both. I know that I am far from being anyone to even remotely

perfect. And I know I am not ready to give up my worldly life at this point. But

I just feel torn. I want to do what is right. I want to make my Mother proud of

me. I don't want to hurt him. I know there is someone on the group that said her

mate was not into Amma's teachings. How is that? How does that work for you? How

do I know the right path to choose or both?? I don't know if I am just scared to

commit in a relationship or what. I am confused. What are your thoughts on this?

Please send advice, comments to me personally. Thanks.

 

 

Totally out of the dating loop,
