I haven't been on this board for awhile, but this ministry came to my attention recently. This man is on day 8 of a hunger strike to raise $16000 for starving children to get deworming medication. Please consider donating! Operation Starvation twitter - @brandt_russo Thanks.

That makes sense. But girls get asked out all the time. I don't get it.

Well in this situation it doesn't really matter anymore. We're both going back to our respective colleges in a few weeks, which are not near each other. Blah blah. It's so confusing because so many books I have read like Lady in Waiting, and I Kissed Dating Goodbye (of course) said for the girl...

Didn't really mean to cause a debate or anything.. Sorry! I just don't understand things like this. I missed out on some by going to an all-girls school + being really flipping shy for most of my childhood and adolescence. And I have never been kissed. So are you saying I am supposed to...

So in your case, what would you want the girl to do? Nothing? Just curious.

That isn't the kind of warrior I mean either. This is: “A Christlike warrior doesn’t selfishly seek to overcome obstacles (such as women with morals). Rather, he becomes an obstacle that stands in the way of all forms of impurity and injustice. A warrior doesn’t complain about sacred boundary...

LOL. at work? Hm that might get me in a bit of trouble.... :P

Thanks everyone, I think I interpreted the book Captivating to mean that girls should just wait for the guy in all forms. But I know guys are afraid of rejection too. So hinting/ gentle nudging seems to be a good idea. I want my future husband to be a warrior of course, but a spiritual one...

I just don't want to be the one chasing him. What would be some examples of initiating something, without being the pursuer? Also, I don't know if he is a believer, but I would like to get to know him more, which is why I am confused about this stuff. Also, never had a boyfriend. If that...

It happens to all of us, even the best of us! The fact that you are worried about it shows that you are His, and that you desire Him, even when you feel like you don't. I am slowly getting out of one of these "dry spells" right now too, but be encouraged that you are His and He is yours, and He...

without doing all his work. I am a firm believer that the man should initiate the relationship, and that the woman should be pursued. But these days, girls ask guys out all the time. I refuse. However, I work with a guy that I like, and, if he does like me, how do I let him know it's okay to ask...

Thank you all for your replies. As all of you have mentioned, I should be focusing on God and who He is rather than who I am. And I know that, but for the past few months I have been in a "dry spell." It is very very hard for me to spend quiet time with Him let alone to dive into His Word. I...

I don’t. I like things because other people like them. I do things because I think it will make other people happy. I can hate something I used to like in a matter of seconds based on someone’s opinion. I can’t tell what I’m good at, I don’t know what makes me happy, I don’t think I’m pretty, I...

Ah yes I do know that but that is exactly what I did last night, for a few hours, lol. Thanks for the reminder. :) It's so hard not to try to reassure yourself. I'm also just plain concerned as to why I was prescribed Abilify. Thank you for your wisdom, both of you!

Yes it is exactly that! And my OCD is probably what is holding onto this thought.. I'm glad you told the doctor he was stupid :thumbsup:. That does show me that they do read into things so easily and quickly. I have gotten much better than I was originally.. I used to stay in my room all...
