  • 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

Friend or something more?

I'm not sure whether this is the correct thread to ask this but would really appreciate someone's opinion and insight on this issue I'm having with a Christian man. So we've become quite good friends and I'm not sure whether he is actually interested or whether he is just being nice and friendly. I've prayed about this and I believe God is encouraging me to embrace this season of singleness to prepare me for marriage by allowing me time to work on my weaknesses and other areas. I've been observing his actions and I can be pretty confident to say that he is a man of strong faith and pursues a life of holiness. He also understands the importance of timing and is trying to get to know me better but I'm not sure about his intentions and want to guard my heart properly if he is just being nice as a friend.

We talk for hours each time we are on a phone call. It usually starts off with work matters as we work at the same place (we actually have to do planning together) but then it includes all different kind of topics about life and we just go on and on. He has also made it clear that he appreciates my gentleness and the fact that I'm attractive (well at least to him I guess)

I was attracted by his love for God (as I've been observing his attitude and relationship with others at work). So what do you guys think (him just being a really good friend OR other intentions?) I should just wait patiently for him to say something and pray for this meanwhile right?

He's extremely into you. Attractive female who is into God? He's probably praying to God every night for the courage to ask you out.

This guy seems excessively nice (doesn't have a backbone), so he likely won't make a move. You should ask him to do some activity with you outside of work. And then ask a question if he wants to be exclusive with you. Then you will know if you're wasting your time or not.

Though you know what they say about dating co-workers.

I know. There are quite a number of couples at my work place (it is a Christian organisation) Either married or engaged but none who are courting. This is one big thing that I'm concerned about. I shall keep on praying about this coworker issue.
