    Deal-breakers

    My boyfriend has different religious views to me. We're both Christians, but he's quite a traditional Anglican, his church doesn't sing hymns or have a sermon, they just have Bible readings and sometimes a short "homily". Whereas I'm Evangelical, and I think the sermon is incredibly important...

    I feel like a bad person for thinking this way

    Also, I find these passages incredibly moving and helpful whenever I'm worrying about the future: Luke 12:13-31 Matthew 6:25-34 The Bible doesn't say "don't plan" or "don't organise your life". It simply says, "don't worry about things that you can't control". God will look after you, if...

    I feel like a bad person for thinking this way

    Do something you're interested in, something that you love. And work your butt off to graduate with a good grade. There's a lot of risk in trying to calculate which majors will lead you to a job. You're much more likely to get a job if you graduate with a first/distinction/equivalent in...

    Would you date someone you were not attracted to?

    Physical attraction contributes towards overall attraction, but also, overall attraction affects one's perception of physical attraction. Nobody's saying physical attraction is unimportant, we're saying that it can be changed with time, if you like the person as a whole.

    Would you date someone you were not attracted to?

    Physical attraction is difficult to separate from overall attraction. I've known several guys who I remember thinking were unattractive when I first met them, but after getting to know their great personalities, they started to appear handsome. It can be pretty confusing ^_^ I'd go on a...

    What makes someone intimidating?

    I find beautiful people intimidating. Women as well as men. That's probably down to my own insecurity.

    Paradox- cant seem to do what I want to do

    :hug: Dating is scary, and I'm still shy about hugging/kissing and I get terribly nervous even when talking about intimate topics with my boyfriend. I haven't had any bad experiences in the past, like you have, so I really feel for you. I'm just naturally reserved/shy about these things...

    Need some advice

    He might not be shy, he might just be cautious. Maybe he just likes you as a friend for now, but is interested in getting to know you better before he decides whether to pursue you or not. I think it's a pretty wise strategy to have for dating. Kudos to him. If that's the case, you just need...

    Seasons

    Btw Ecclesiastes is possibly my favourite book in the Bible. Such a depressing but also strangely comforting book - and so wise and insightful. It's probably hard to say which season I'm in, without the gift of foresight :P But I guess I'm in: 2 a time to be born and a time to die, a time to...

    what do you say?

    Are you talking about Christian couples who say they're "married in God's eyes" to justify living together without being legally married? God wants us to submit to the local law and regulations. There is no difference between "marriage in God's eyes" and "marriage in legal terms" - God wants us...

    Have dating sites worked for you?

    I'd never have a relationship which was exclusively online. I'm not a fan of long-distance either. I used the dating site as a way to meet people in real life, people who lived near me. We'd exchange two or three emails before meeting for coffee - that way, no time is wasted building up a fake...

    Have dating sites worked for you?

    I signed up to an online dating site for about a month, and stopped 2 months ago when I met my current boyfriend. Overall the experience has been really positive! There were a few rules which I stuck to. 1. Be selective about who you search for. I thought carefully about which characteristics...

    Guilty Pleasures

    My guilty pleasures: 1. Coffee. It makes me hyper and unable to sleep, but it's soo good. 2. American TV shows - 90210 is possibly the worst (and the best). 3. Cheeese

    Is being "tall" on a guy important to a girl?

    Tallness is a plus, but it's not essential or even important. For me, the heirachy would probably go (since you ask) as follows: 1. A strong faith 2. A good personality - mature, confident, kind, smart, interesting, etc. 3. Looks and height. 4. Older age. My ex was 5 foot 6 - exactly the same...
