  • 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.

Here's the good date that works for me where I live: ice cream from this local parlor on fifth street (I'm not a fan of ice cream but the parlor is nostalgic), then a nice stroll through the crown jewel of our city - Bidwell Park.

Eating is a big part of who I am, since I'm always ravenously hungry after one of my intense long runs, so I have no problem stuffing my face in front of a girl even for the first time.

Running will do that to you:) At least you are a guy though; I think most women would expect a young guy who works out to be able to eat a lot. At least, I would. If someone does give you a funny look, just tell them how many miles you just ran and then watch their brain try to compute that distance, lol.

Maybe not as a 1st date, but I thought of taking a girl on a run date. Thereby gauging her cardio-respiratory fitness or lack thereof.

Haha, I think you might have even less takers than MehGuy. Most people hate running.

Indeed, yes they do. And chances are, if a woman does happen to like to run she's already taken. :sigh:

:( Not necessarily though. I'm sure you could find a girl that enjoys running to some extent (maybe not your crazy long distance exploits, haha). I have a few friends that I can run with, but generally, I have to run alone. I find it to be a very lonely sport. Almost all my friends have amazing excuses why they can't run :)

Yeah, most people I know are couch potatoes unfortunately. I'd be happy if she could at least run a decent 5K.

Define decent :) I bet I'd fail your cardio test and I do distance running, haha.

Decent as in at least a 9 minute per mile pace and without stopping to walk. Pretty easy to meet that right?

Another fun date I enjoy is going on a crime spree. Like Bonnie and Clyde. But less romantic because I never see them again...

So you like those bad girls like Amanda Knox eh?

Haha, yes, most likely not. :p I can hazard a pretty good guess about your plans for date two, lol.

Lol, what?

Then things might get a little shady? Lol
