  • 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.

Do YOU have a crush on anyone?

Crush is such junior high kind of word. I prefer to think that the feelings I have now go beyond a simple crush. A crush to me is an infatuation for another person, and usually has to do with physical appearance. I prefer to think that I can see beyond that. That said, Thomas you scoundrel!
My only real problem with the word is how informal it is. If one were writing an academic paper on this subject, it would be impossible to use the word "crush."

Well, I had an e-crush, and I told him, and now we're together. :blush:

I kept reading here that being straightforward was the thing, so I decided to test it out. Glad I did.

I've hinted and shown interest for 10 years, if that counts. Like asking when he'll get married and other issues about marriage. Jokingly he's proposed more than one time.
If it's meant to be God will prompt his heart. He just messaged me now, getting ready to head overseas again.

Have any of you told your crushes how you feel?
not since a few years ago when i liked him before. and now that he's probably moving far away, i don't think it'd be smart. he's already too far away. i don't want him to feel uncomfortable talking to me.

It probably just never came up and I doubt he thought you had a crush on him. I sort of got lucky with Laura mentioning she was going on a non romantic date with some guy to a wedding. Yeah I guess there is a bit of jealousy there but you know, it was far more valuable to me in the fact that it indicates that she is most likely not seeing someone right now on a romantic basis.

yeah, he probably didn't, guys can be a little slow picking up on things like that sometimes :p
That's always a good thing to know. I'm going as a non romantic date with a friend to this guys wedding, he's a good friend of mine and has a girlfriend but she's going to be in Spain for the summer, she's a good friend too. She's already been joking with us about it, actually she told him that he was going to be my date but we weren't allowed to kiss :D, we're both like ok and just laughed at her, the thought was never in either of our minds (she knew that too).

Meet as many good Christians as you can. Don't be afraid to ask a guy out, this is 2007. And don't make a big deal about having "never been on a date before" I know a lot of girls on here do that a bit and they think its really bad but its not a big deal at all.

You're right. Now I just need to get the guts to do it.


Oh and btw there is a pretty good chance I'm going to be comming with my mom this fall to see Iowa beat Purdue, so just so I get this out early. . . Go hawks!

haha, Boiler Up!!
I actually haven't been to a game in a while. It was ok my first year but then since I lived off campus it was hard to come back, find a spot, and avoid traffic so I just decided I didn't need tickets. Plus they're expensive and I want to do other things on some weekend and not feel guilty for not going to a game. I may try to get a few tickets and go every once in a while this year.

Cool have fun! If you are ever up at your parents place some weekend and you want to do something, let me know. Cause its not that far of a drive.

You're right. Now I just need to get the guts to do it.

It takes a lot of guts, trust me I know.

Well my mom and I saw our first hawk game ever last fall. It was a lot of fun even though we lost. Its funny because I grew up a hawk fan cause my mom is from Iowa. And I had never seen a single hawk game in real life.

We're definatly going to try and do it again. Not sure how it will work out with my mom's health. She's in bad shape and she had a 5 way bypass.
