  • 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

I've never been married & am still looking for someone. I think the best place to meet women that I may have something in common is at work. However, I'm not working now & the companies I have worked for do no have many single women available.

Other places I've tried include employees at the grocery store & the health club. The grocery store idea was promising but a girl I liked only seemed interested in talking while she was working. This was difficult since she is dealing with customers. I really didn't like having to interrupt her at work & she wasn't willing to talk outside of work. The health club idea has promise too. There is one woman I would like to talk to but she seems very focused on her workout. Plus, I'm hesistant on approaching someone I know nothing about. At least if someone I trust introduces me to a woman, I know a little about her. This girl at the health club is a complete mystery.

So nice single women-where can you be found? Where do you like to be approached? Now that you are in your 30's, what kind of guy are you looking for? Should I worry because I'm currently unemployed? Should I wait until I have a job or should I hope that someone will accept me for who I am as a person?

Dating a co-worker can be difficult, especially if you work closely with this person. I think if it's taken slow & honesty is there, it's not as difficult if things don't work out. However, I think dating a co-worker can be a positive experience since you know who they are & what they are about since you spend so much time with them.

I have no answers. lol

Every man I have met that is in his thirties are newly divorce, in the process of getting a divorce, or seperated. In all of the situation, they are looking for a "friend with benefits" (hey - at least they were honest in the beginning).

I would avoid dating a co-worker because if it doesn't work out, then things can be awkward. In my own life, aside from work (where I spend 10 hours a day), I'm at the gym, church, or hanging out with friends/family somewhere (ex. Barnes & Nobles).

I will say this, if you see someone that you would like to get to know better, don't be shy and let the opportunity get away. If you approach a woman in a nice manner (and not with some cheesy line) she shouldn't be offended that you asked for her number.

Have you checked into a church who offers a single's group? There are some really interesting ones around here. They do lots of activities together and it gives you the chance to really get to know how people interact without the stress of seeing someone one on one.

Im single but i wish i had a guy friend to hang out with. I like being single, i tried to date but im not as ready as i thought i was. Scary out there. The friends w/ benifits seems to be quite popular. I told a guy about my beliefs on that and he didnt believe me that i would wait till i get married. Scary what pple in this world think is the norm.
