I think there should be a forum area for celibate Christian singles on here.
-
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.

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

Is the intention behind this to be an area specifically for celibates or somewhere to discuss things other than dating and relationships. If the former then I think you're going to struggle to get the critical mass needed to maintain it. The Mature Singles forum doesn't get all that much traffic as most of those falling into that age group post in the Singles forum.
If it's the latter then I don't actually see why it's necessary. Looking at what are currently the first ten threads in the Singles forum, only two of them are about dating/relationships. So while those things are always going to be topics that come up, it's not as though other things aren't being discussed, and at the moment it's those other things which are being discussed more.

I don't think making a separate area is necessary. We are already far too divided on this site already. This place is more cliquish than any high school could be portrayed on television. If you don't believe me, just make the mistake of letting someone around here know what you think, and someone will be along directly to correct you.
Then again, I'm content to just ignore the content that doesn't interest me and not darken the doorstep of those discussions.

a celibate thread sounds like a great idea. But there are online predators who pray on celibates and virgins, so it would attract a lot of cybercriminals.

I will post here just to keep this thread going. The original poster wanted to give a place for those that are practicing celibacy but not talking about dating and relationships.
The headline attracted me because I am one of those practicing celibacy while dating. The last comment I think could be true, but thus far even though I have stated it in my dating online profile, fortunately I have not found issues with online predators. I think in my younger years it may have, but I have not noticed it in these last couple years. Partially because my age is near 50 and second in today's dating world, it's hard to find someone who is on the same page. It's definitely acted as a filter along with stating that I cannot relocate. But I still get a good volume of responses.

Believe it or not I am still a virgin. But that is not what this thread is about, is it?

Ehhh, I think celibacy intrinsically implies you don't want a relationship whereas "single" means you are looking or at least accepting of the idea of being in a relationship.
Part of me wants celibacy for Christ's sake. The other part of me wants someone to discuss Christ with more often, or a person to hit me when I say something not fitting to a situation. (friends won't really do that)
I'm extremely opposed to any idea of convenience relationships. The heart would have to be definitively Christ centered, but then I end up falling back into my desire to be "solely devoted" to Christ as well.
I eventually just told God. "You choose. Surprise me." lol
