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.

I mean.. maybe its the difference in our cultures but even at this age, 21, i feel i could not have a deep meaningful relationship and worry with things such as other people do... i mean.. u have to live first... im sorry when a 17 years old is going thru a difficult time and all but.. have they ever thought that life is more than falling in love and... getting married and having a gf/bf? like at this age you should be serving God as a single...
its just random thoughts..

Hehe, I see what you're saying. 
But, on the other hand, heh...
Whose to say that I'm not serving God? Just because I have a boyfriend, fiance, husband, whomever, does not mean that I cannot also serve God wholeheartedly. Trust me, if I were not serving God where I am right now, I would not allow myself to be in a relationship. I just would not be able to do it. God means so much to me, He is my everything, and I would NOT let anything come between us. Meandonlyme knows this, and he is in the same boat. He serves God as well. We don't let each other hinder us, if that makes sense. We are each other's support system, when one of us is down we are there to encourage the other, etc. I don't know about him, but I have seriously grown so much closer to God in the past four months...it's phenomenal. I could not have made it without him. So, I am serving God, and so is he. We're just doing it together.
You'd really also have to know both of us to really understand, as well. We're not your typical teenagers- ask anyone who knows us. I know anyone who knows either of us could vouch for our character, quite highly, in fact. We've lived more than a 17 year old should have to live, and as much as we had to grow up too fast, we still had our share of fun. Being here is wonderful, and we have a great balance.
I actually didn't expect to even be dating by now, I had actually planned on being single for the rest of my life, quite honestly. I had sincerely asked God to turn my life upside down one day, and meandonlyme was brought into my life within the next few hours. He is such a gift from God, and I sincerely believe that God wants us together, especially now. Hey, He planned it!
And I can live, believe you me, I can live.
So, I see what you're saying, but understand me too.

I wish you guys the best in your relationship. I wish I knew more about your gfs illness...but I do understand that it is personal and all that jazz.
Wishing you the best.

I must warn you all though that this could be deemed spam by way of flirting in a thread.

Hmmmm...I'm not too sure - depends on what Jamie likes, I guess...but I think just spending the day with her will be a gift enough.
And it matters not what the gift is, but it's always good to give her something that will display how you feel about her. For example, on my girlfriend's last birthday, I printed off one of the first pics that I'd taken of us as a couple (multifunction printers are so handy ), bought a nice photo frame and placed it in there, and she loves it! It need not be expensive, mate - as long as it conveys your feelings, it's a great gift.And to comment on a few past posts in this thread - there is a sticky in Courting Couples that says the following:
Hello everyone!
I would like to remind everyone that the Courting Couples Forum is a forum for discussing issues dealing with relationships. The forum was not designed for match-making or posts or threads in which a couple profess feelings to each other or flirt with each other. These kinds of things are best left to private messages.
If you have any questions or comments, please pass them along to your CC staff. Thanks!
We're happy to give you guys advice, but please keep in mind that posts that are more romantic in nature aren't really what we're after here...but otherwise, if you keep God in His right and proper place and let Him guide and direct you, you will find what purpose you'll have in each other's lives
