  • 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

An interesting situation...

Well, I'm very much in love with this person(those of you who've helped me out in the past know who I'm talking about).

We're best friends. I trust her with anything and she trusts me with anything. We are involved in each others spiritual lives (I pray for her, she prays for me, we talk about God together a lot).

She has only recently broken off a past relationship (as you know by now), and she needs to have some time to recover before we go beyond friendship. We recently started to become even closer in that way. We flirted quite a bit. I knew she needed time and that I shouldn't get carried away, but I couldn't help myself. Well, we caught ourselves, and we're trying to back it off a little, just maintain our relationship without actually courting until she's had more time.

Just pray for me, because I don't have the same problem she does. I'm fully ready and anxious to see if she's the one for me. Pray that I'll be sensitive to her needs, because I really want for her to be happy. I want for her to be healed from these emotional scars she has, and I just really want to be part of that healing. She says I help her a lot, and I'd just like to keep being a good influence.

Thanks :thumbsup:

I'm proud of you. The last guy who courted me had just broken up with his girlfriend but he was already in a rush to start a relationship with me. I find it hard to accept his pace since I couldn't get out of my head that he had JUST broken up with his last girlfriend and that every time I hang out with him, I would think that he had just been in this same place with a different girl. I agree that there should definitely be time to get over an ex. Otherwise, it's not fair to the other person.

I'll pray for you. Please think of the waiting time as being good for you as well. You wouldn't want to be in my situation where I was constantly wondering if the guy had been recycling his dating ideas from his former girlfriends.

I might not be of any help to you but i was angry at my ex 1 and so i dated another ex 2 only to take revenge on the ex 1 before. So i dont know. I would play emotional games on my ex 2. We got along pretty well. When ex 1 come back i dropped ex 2 like the yellow pages on the front steps on my house and closed the door. And like the yellow pages making me trip when i would come home i would kick and keep kicking it out of the way until it had fallen on the ground behind a bush.

We've agreed that it will be good for both of us. I told her that I wanted to prove to her that I love her, and this is at least one way of doing that. She blushed quite a bit at that, but she said that she knows I love her, but she needs some time to sort out some things (I can't give you any details, sorry, I never want to betray her trust, she doesn't trust easily and it's an honor I hold very dearly).

I don't know how long this is going to last, but I've decided I can make it. God is the center of our relationship anyway, and we will continue to be best friends no matter what happens. Lemme tell ya, she's worth waiting for ;)
