  • 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

...on a side note though what if this chic loses weight and you see her again in about 4 years and she's just totally smokin hot..
I know I should not laugh at this, but that was funny and it's early morning.

Coach, why not just be honest? It's never right to lie, for whatever reason. Or just say that you don't particularly like being set up with women you don't know well.

Then again, that may lead her to believe you are interested, so just be honest.

I too, say honesty is the best policy. If they haven't said anything further though, you don't need to explain further either. But if the situation comes up again, you just need to be honest and tell them, that while you appreciate their concern, this method hasn't really bode well for you, and combined with the fact that you work together, and she's not really your type (no offense), you hope she will understand that you are just not interested in her daughter.

If you tell them your not into dating right now and then next week you meet someone, they will know you are lying, so I would just tell the truth or simply say "no thanks".

IDDQD- I am one of those people that does believe that there is just ONE guy out there for me. If I don't feel any chemistry with someone, I do not think it's fair to lead them on and force something that isn't there.

Good to hear that on all counts. I'm the same way in at least not leading folks on. Of course, the downside of that is that I'm so honest that it comes off as me being offensive when that's not my intention.

As far as whether or not I believe there's one girl out there for me, I can't say, really. I try not to say one way or the other when I don't even know myself. In fact, it's this not knowing that tends to drive me nuts. I'll admit that if I knew that I'd be at ease. However, I know it's not possible or even meant for me to know, so I have to focus on other things. My approach is more of it "when/if it happens, it happens" and in the meantime just live life to the fullest everyday.

Dude... but you are an anomaly, and seemingly asexual/anti-social you would probably be cool if you were the only person living on Earth like that one movie with Will Smith. (I'm totally joking with you man)

I too do not believe in Soulmates.

I believe in Biblical harems. I kid, I kid

"24 year old Hot Topic counter girl" ... hmmm sounds like a lot of potential there, you only live once.
You don't know how many times that comes through my head man...you don't know how many

So pretty, good at her job, good taste in music(not exactly like mine but decent enough), she seems very nice, very nice tattoos...that's enough for a drink, dinner and a kiss regardless if we ever see each again if you ask me Some consider that a bit easy but hey at least I don't play on the slip and slide anymore

its amazing the effect the right dame has on a man, it can drive us to frequent her place of work, whether she be a waitress, bartender, masseuse, or Hot Topic store clerk.

A young lady definitely caught my eye lately at the local Thai restaurant, and needless to say, it just may drive me for some Thai takeout 2-3 times a week

I had to learn not to do that to guys- come off as mean or conceited, although I am almost sure that I still come off that way, since I still have a huge issue with pride, hopefully that will be gone soon and I can relax and look at even those men who I am not interested in as brothers and potential friends.

I hear you- live life now, we are not promised anything- although I would like to know what it's like to be in love- just not to the point where that's all I want to think about. Make sense?

I do the same thing. I'll go to the mall and look in and see if she's there even though I have no intention of going into Hot Topic. Thankfully I have my tattoos and sometimes I wear my plugs in so one can't think anything weird about me because I fit in, but my eyes are looking to say the least. Even when I don't stop in the store, I am looking. The day she gave me the link to buy music at that the online store/social site the store endorses, and gave me her username, I saw her in there before I went in, and I had to go to the Gamestop because I was getting nervous to go in there because she was there. I just don't know if this can be compared to a wolf keeping an eye on the next victim or just a wolf checking another wolf out (I hope for the latter to be honest )

Depending on how the next conversation goes with her, I have some ideas to come across non-schalant about trying to get a date with her to have a drink and just talk over a drink and some good food. I'm good at being vague.

Getting some sugar is a nice desert isn't it?

Sure I'll buy her some desert if I get the chance because that means I'll be spending more time with her right and that's only the better (assuming it goes well if I get what I want).

Man, you two guys have it all planned, huh?

GQ Chris, I see you doing a dance like in your siggy if she takes you up on your offer for a date.


I'm not too serious about pursuing her, because honestly I see a lot of beautiful women every day. Just saying though that it gives a man "incentive" for visiting a particular store or restaurant, makes things interesting.

That depends Most ladies do love desert- chocolate especially.

But there are some who do that whole " I'll only eat a salad" deal, so she may or may not. If she passes, can you send me her portion of the meal?

Where is Okie at in the USA?

See I wish girls would say during a date when I offer to pay when the waiter or waitress comes basically this:
I want a full 4 course meal plus a desert. It can be healthy food if she wants that's fine but I prefer a woman to eat substance instead of leaves.

Plus, chocolate for women seem to be like catnip for cats so gotta watch how much chocolate the woman has

Okie= Oklahoma you'd have to ship it UPS with the ice packs and everything, but I'd enjoy every bit of it

I don't know if I'd have the guts to order all that, even though I'd want it. I'd go for pasta and call it day and some chocolate cake would be nice, but that's about it. And yeah, you'd have to watch the chocolate intake, not sure I've met a woman who doesn't like it.

Pasta can cover up the worry that the man would think I'm a pig if I order too much because its filling and good

I'm not the type of man that thinks a woman is a pig just because she knows how to use a fork. It is a turn on for me personally if she would eat a lot on the date.

Haha! The secret is to just let her get on with it...you don't get between a woman and her Dairy Milk

(No seriously)

Lol I'm joking

(I'm not)





Also, do you think all men are like you, ie, they don't mind a girl pigging out at dinner? Cos if so you have made my day Although the question is, how would you feel 6 months down the line when we resemble a beach ball?
