Trophy of Grace answered... Taylor, I think you just need to go ahead and tell them just like that. “I need you guys to please back down”. Let them know that you don’t need the extra pressure from them and that it bothers you. When the time is right if it’s meant for you two end up together you will. However, that decision is one that should be made after prayerful consideration. If this young man is your best friend sometimes it can complicate the friendship when you decide to change each other’s title to girlfriend or boyfriend.
I think you're doing the right thing by being close friends first. If eventually you do end up together then your relationship has a better foundation then a lot of others. Take your time though. There is no reason to rush your life. Relationships are a lot of commitment. This is a time where you are learning to discover who you are and where you want to go in life. Now is when you should seek God’s face and ask Him what His will for your life is.
One of my favorite scriptures is Proverbs 3:5-6. It says, “ Trust in the LORD with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.” God’s will is always best for us because He has good plans for our lives, so we can trust Him.
I will be praying and your friends.
God bless you!
Sincerely,
Trophy of Grace
