• 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. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

Hey

I'd like your advice.

There's a girl I know as a friend. I've begun to have feelings for her recently and would think about asking her out, but

The thing is I'm 28 and she is 21.
Is this age difference too big?

Absolutely not. You're two consenting adults. An age gap is not an issue. Maybe if you were 18 and she were 11, yeah that would be too much, but you're not. I say go for it!

I was engaged to a girl that was 8 years younger then me. And just recently I've been out with someone that is 10 years younger than me. Age is just a number. Everything just depends on the two people involved.

Did much change after turning 30? Even with the same age gap, it sounds like a greater gap when one is in their 30s and the other is in their 20s. I probably just have to 'get over it', but being 30 (still not used to it yet) has got me wondering about this sort of thing.

If you've known her as a friend, you must know her enough for your feelings to be more than physical. Age differences realistically comes into play if the two of you are on different levels mentally & physically. Ask her out & see. 1 plus 1 still equals 2! Most problems come when a man & woman are unyoked spiritually or/and physically.
