  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

This is something that hasn't bothered me until now. It isn't really that bad of a feeling. It is just one of those naging things. My gf and I have talked about kissing. She wants to wait till marriage. I agreed...but there is something that is naging me today. In her past she has kissed someone. But with me she isn't willing to. I guess it is just foolish thinking. I know she loves me. I just feel a bit like she isn't sure if I am the one she should kiss. Meh...I am gona have to talk with her on that. I just wanted to vent a little.

I know it sounds silly, but you might want to do a practice kiss before the wedding... I won't get into waited-till-the-altar horror stories, but at least discuss what you both plan on doing :) Peck, more than a peck, throw your arms around her and run out of the church, etc?

I'm sure you know that she might have kissed someon in the past, but that's not where her beliefs are now. But I'm like you, I have a hard time forgetting the past. I don't really know what to tell you except to talk it out with her and at least make sure you're both on the same page about the whole issue. Let her know how you feel.

How long have you been dating? How old is she?
Actualy neither of these are relavent lol. Because I am not talking about kissing her NOW. I am talking about later. I have been seeing her for over a month as more than friends, but friends before that.

But I talked with her tonight and came to an understanding.

i'm guessing she kissed someone, realised that wether it seemes intimate or not, once you're away from the person, it becomes a lot easier to miss them in a physical way, and you find yourself wanting more then just cuddling. Plus, I think sometimes you only realise how special waiting to kiss someone is after you've had the experience of kissing someone.

Interesting :) I am waiting til engagement (perhaps longer, as I've had a pre-engagement ring before.... we shall see). Everyone I know who is waiting has never kissed, though. If I may ask, what made her decide to wait after she's kissed before?

Oh, BTW, it's very awesome she is waiting, and that you respect her decision. Props to you :D

The reason she wanted to wait AFTER the last, was because of repentance. She knew a kiss was worth too much to just give for no reason. So she repented and desided she would not kiss anymore till then. Although she said the rule can be bent in engagment :p . I am more than willing to wait. She is amazing!

I don't know Breetai. It smells fishy.
Not yet it doesn't. First has to come the kiss!:D

I've always thought that people who wait to kiss until marriage are just too shy to try it. Is there any truth to this? Or maybe they are just scared that once they start, they won't know when to stop...

I think that is part of it. Some people are weaker than others in differing areas. For some a Kiss would arouse too much.

I am waiting because it is not time yet. I have wanted to kiss her even on our first date. But as of yet I cannot be sure it would be serving her. I do not wish to kiss until we are more committed to each other. I do not wish to kiss her just because it would feel good. I want it to be right. She is so good and deserves that much consideration.

Actualy she was saving it because it IS speacial. And I respect that. She just wants me to know it means a lot to her when it is with me.
Absolutely! Just because she has slipped and sinned in the past, giving something precious away lightly, doesn't mean she feels less about you.. but actually that she feels MORE. ( I went through this with my husband before we were married!)

:) Thanks for telling me that. I don't worry anymore that she is holding back. I know that she really isn't. I understand that she is just waiting on the action of a kiss for the best time. But she isn't holding it back in her heart, and thats what matters to me.
