  • 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.

Doesn't sound like a big deal to me. If she's teaching, she's probably very busy.

Sending texts is a high risk way to get to know a girl. A phone beeping can be an annoyance, and you don't even know it because you aren't there with her. She could misinterpret what you say.

Still, I don't think it's a big deal.

Think about it: She's in a classroom dealing with 30 children, probably single handedly. If you had to manage a classroom full of 30 children, do you think you would have time to text people? I wouldn't. I deal with kids sometimes at my work for educational tours and activities. I usually only have them for an hour or so, but they require CONSTANT attention. You don't get a break. I'm lucky if I have the time to even look at what time it is on my phone!

I'll be honest the joke isn't very funny and pretty weird.

You should have been more like "ok have fun" or just something like that.

No offense, but it really isn't that funny or witty? I would have said something more centered on her and the teaching. Being charismatic is very attractive. :) Also, don't forget to capitalize your I's.

Plus, as others have said -- teaching or substitute teaching is quite a lot of work. You're basically dealing with 20+ kids at once and have to carefully follow a substitute teaching plan. It's not that she doesn't want to hang out. She's busy and committed to her work.
