  • 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.

Hey peoples, name's Ace. At the same time that I am new on here, I'm also not. I have an old account on here, but forget what my username is. Anyways, I currently attend a private Christian University, and am interested in a young woman. However, due to things in my past, I'm afraid to risk possibly getting hurt again. but I REALLY like this girl. I don't know how she feels about me either though. Plus, the school year is almost over, and it would seem weird to start a relationship with only about 2 weeks of school left. What should I do? I truly think God might be saying to try asking the girl out, but I'm not really sure. ANy and all advice or suggestions would be gladly welcomed.

I think you have to go for it. Even if she rejects you, it's better than never having known if she would have accepted you. Also, even though you sound like you think you'll be incredibly hurt to be rejected, I see asking her out at all as a huge gain. You should gain confidence and grow more comfortable asking girls out. I'd say most guys who have never been rejected simply never asked a girl out.

Good luck.

I would say go for it too :) Just think of it like this: if she agrees to go on a date with you, it could be the start of something awesome, and if she doesn't, then you haven't actually lost anything. It's a win-win situation, or at least a win-neutral situation :p Especially as there's only two weeks left!

Best of luck. Pray that God's will be done - you could perhaps pray that he will influence this young woman's heart, so that if it is part of God's plan that you have a relationship with her, she'll respond with a positive :)

Update: I have yet to go out with any girl. the girl I was starting to like and I are currently working on reading through the book of Ezekiel, and, one day, while just talking, she mentioned that any guy she even considers dating first has to get her dad's permission, and that I wouldn't need to worry about that cause she just sees me as a friend.

Hello! :)

Well, it looks like you have her answer without having to go to the trouble of asking her out. While that's disappointing, her opinion of you may change as time goes on. I've heard so many stories of how God works in a girl's heart to show her how awesome a guy really is, who she formerly rejected or didn't see as a potential husband.

Your job now is to continue your Christian walk, be a man after God's own heart, and let Him develop your character. Seek His face, and He'll start giving you impressions of who He wants you to pursue. The key is don't focus so much on the girl you like, but direct your focus mostly on God.

When the time comes to pursue a girl, He'll give you favor with her. She'll begin to reciprocate the interest, and you'll be able to see if you both are compatible with one another and if your relationship is glorifying God (not idolizing one or the other).

First sex her. Then maybe ask her out, if she's good.

If that fails, there are plenty of guys in the world, you know? They say but sex is quite relaxing! Have fun :)


dude, really?! sex her first? really?! No!
