    At what point did you start feeling like a "grown up"?

    I still don't completely feel like an adult, but I'm well on my way there. I moved in with my boyfriend last year and I pay all my own bills. I'll feel like I've made it after I gain more self confidence and have an actual career.

    Is it wrong?

    Pray about it and trust in the Lord. There are many men I thought to have loved and I had a hard time letting go. Just know there's someone better for you out there. You don't have to be with this person.

    Do you believe in soulmates?

    I believe in soulmates. God lead me into the arms of mine. There's no such thing as a "perfect" person for each of us, but there is someone the Lord wants us to be with always.

    To use or not to use online dating?

    I've had my fair share of relationship disasters by dating online. I was young and foolish, but the main problem was I didn't focus on God. The guys I dated didn't share my faith or they claimed to, but their actions told a different story. I met my current boyfriend, Kori, on a social network...

    Why doesn't prayer work?

    Prayer always works, but we don't always get what we ask for, because it's not in God's plan for us.

    Relationship Advice...

    I'll think about what you've said, but truthfully, your advice all comes down to speculation. I know in my heart the truth of who I was, who I am, and who I'm on the path to become. As much as I'd like to sit here defending the relationship Kori and I have, there would be no point. I've trusted...

    Relationship Advice...

    Pal Handy- I completely understand where you're coming from. I was hesitant about taking Kori back because there's the chance he'll get cold feet again. Neither of us are ready for engagement or marriage. I've come a long way since last summer, but we can't even consider taking the next step...

    Relationship Advice...

    The last time I posted here, it was about my break up. All the advice was helpful and I thought to seek Christian advice on my current situation. After spending 6 weeks apart, Kori and I are back together. Neither of us feel able to stop loving each other and he admitted he'd made a mistake in...

    Dating Advice

    In my dating experiences, I've dated 9 men in the past two years to be exact, you need the same religious background and moral compass. God is meant to be the front runner in your life and dating someone on a different level than you is like denying him first place in your life. You may love...

    I disagree with my friends lifestyle help!

    "Molly" sounds like a friend I knew back in my high school years. I made the choice to be friends with her until our senior year, then I cut her out of my life. I was sick and tired of her constantly dragging me into her worldly interests or calling me stupid for believing in God. You will meet...

    For Those Who Have Lost Their Virginity And Not Married

    I lost my virginity when I was 18 and have since had sex with 9 men. I definitely regret letting myself give in to temptation and believing the lie, when you're in a relationship, sex is a given. I wouldn't go back and do it any differently because my past sexual mistakes have brought me to the...

    What's the Right Thing to Do?

    They need to be honest with the people they're in relationships with, because it's not fair for them to be left in the dark. While it's fine to hang out and be close to friends, there should be absolutely no flirting. Flirting is crossing the line and one step away from cheating. Out of...

    Break up struggle... How to cope?

    Last week, my boyfriend of 7 months broke up with me. It was sudden and I've been having a difficult time dealing with it. I truly thought he was the man God placed in my life to marry one day.

    dating someone who has "different" beliefs

    I honestly believe it's perfectly fine to have different views. No one is exactly the same and this doesn't exclude faith. For me, I've never dated someone with a strong religious background. I'm usually okay if my boyfriend simply believes in God. I'm hoping while we date he'll have a desire to...

    How long since you last self injured? (4)

    It's been a month, but I've been highly tempted lately. The past two days were horrible.

    Sometimes I think my relationship is too awesome.

    I wouldn't look too deep into it. I've found over analyzing in relationships is where trouble comes in. It sounds like you've found the real deal and that's something to be cherished.

    Christians & clubbing

    I'm not entirely sure Christians should go clubbing. I've been out there twice in the past month. I was super excited, but it's not what it's cracked up to be. The first time a guy came up to me and jammed his tongue into my mouth. The second time I got grabbed between the legs from behind. If...
