Hello: I am asking fellow freepers for a prayer request. Your help is much appreciated. I met this woman recently that I feel very strongly about. I haven't felt this way for someone in a long time. I thought of giving up on women completely a few years ago. The problem is...She's a bit reserved and defense. After several months of knowing, I decided to ask her out. While she said no, she didn't completely shut the door on me. She gave me her phone #, so there might be hope. I don't know exactly what happened in her past....
