• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Men... Why are they so hard to read?

Okay if you are standing in church talking to someone and a man comes up behind you and turns you around to hug you, wouldn't you take that he likes you.

i think of several possibilites:
1. that he likes you.
2. that he is a bit agressive (good or bad).
3. that he's just an overly friendly guy. since when did hugs have to mean interest in a romantic relationship?

why is anyone hard to read? because we're not content letting the pages turn one by one. we want to skip to the end to know what happens.

makes for an unintelligent and quite boring read, if you ask me.

Great analogy! :clap:

Very true. Only the L-rd knows the begining from the end. He fashiopns us, and we will think very differently later, as we have been changed. Why are we so anxious to know the future, or everything, for that matter? Could it be that our anxiety says how little we have learnt to trust Him? :)

I have no problem with actual books, but I will readily admit that patience is a problem with romantic relationships.

ooh...you HIT the nail on the head!

If I hear one more "does he/she like me" question, I think I might just explode.....:p ok not literally, but still.

Who cares if they do or don't like you right now. Get to know the person. Let time take it's course. Don't get emotionaly attached, involved prematurely. If it works, it was meant to be. If not, there is someone better. I have been the impatient one trying to skip to the end of the book often. I used to be an extremely avid reader but not only would I read the back of the book but also when I was quite a bit younger; I would also make a habit of reading the last page in the book :blush: .....just to see how it ends before I read the book.........haha, impatient much. But I've learned that this just doesnt work in life, relationships, ore any other matter. Time is an amazing gift that we often times take for granted and misuse. I am the queen of this. I think God gave it to us for a reason and we should respect the boundaries of time and trust God's hand in it.
