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

I like older men like my father's age. I dunno why but they seem to have more of a conscience and more of a heart and soul that men that are in their twenties, thirties, and/or early to mid forties. Also they treat women much more better as well as know what women want.

I have the oppourtunity to meet a lady.. ok let me rephrase.. I have a friend who is VERY strongly insisting that I meet a lady who is about 8 years older than I. She had a daughter who is college age, and a son who is in high school. Supposedly she doesn't look her age, and is rather attractive. She is also a Christian.

It just seem a little weird to me. I mean age wise I am right in between her and her daughter. I was in 2nd grade when she graduated!!! What do yo all think on age difference?

8 years is not a big age difference-I say go for it-she might be the very One God has in store for you.

I have two great-aunts who married men 10+ years older then they were and those marriages worked out pefectly.

Well, since both of you are christians I suppose that you would like to date with serious purpose, especially that you both are not teenagers any more.
If so there are other things to consider:
Maybee not only the 8 years is the question (cause it's more about personality than age) but the "kids" as well. I mean I'm not sure if they have a dad or not, but probably this lady also wants a "step father" for her children.
And how about you, I mean if you like her you'll marry but can you imagine to start a family with a 40 year old woman? Will she give a birth to your kids as well? If so, she'll be retired when they start collage...
Finally she already has a good or bad "idea" about family life with grown kids and with tons of memories and experiences... it can make it more difficult

By the way I also believe that God has planned a no. one mate for everyone and I think he/she should be quite similar to your age and life stage/situation.

I sooooo concur. You took the post right out of my mouth, Anett. :thumbsup:

Some good advice here . :)
