  • 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.

Kids, exes, communication, church, spiritual issues. The second date he told me about 10 years of sobriety from drugs and alcohol, more about kids, exes, and then we discussed what we were looking for in a relationship. I told him what I thought our boundaries should be, then at the end of that date we broke one of them, lol.

I got 101 questions to ask before you get engaged recently and hope to start discussing those questions.

I guess we talk about everything. Most of the time its just things that come up while we're together: maybe something we see on tv that sparks a conversation, or something that happened earlier that day that leads into talking about something else. Mostly we end up talking about our likes and dislikes, previous experiences, or just things that are going on in our lives at the moment.

Like several others have mentioned on this board, I have 101 Questions to Ask Before You Get Engaged, and we randomly talk about things in there every now and then, usually when we're in the car for awhile and need some conversation:)

We talk about evil lairs, Star Wars, robots, death rays, love, philosophy. The entire spectrum of conversation has at some time been covered.

But I can think of things we haven't talked about. Like small appliances. And why pretzels are shaped funny. And lemur genetics.

Of course, it would be a shame if we ran out of things to talk about, so I won't complain.

Hi everyone,

Related to the topic that I just had, talking while being together, what does everyone talk about? Also, for the single people, what did/do you talk about when you first stated dating?
I tend to keep the conversation going because I'm a talkative person.

but sometimes we don't talk. We don't always need to talk :) But at the start yeah you do need to talk.

What did we talk about? Just anything. Try to relate things back to your SO. You know, like ask them questions :) I'm sure you yourself are interested in them, and they would be happy to talk about themselves.

Sometimes I just ask my SO random questions that I'm thinking about. Like, would you rather do this or this. Theres always a reason behind it though :p but yeah it sparks conversation.

We tend to get stuck on talking about less concret things and theoritcal things, but thats just us. If you aren't a very theortical person, then try talking about your shared interests :)
