  • 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

  • The rule regarding AI content has been updated. The rule now rules as follows:

    Be sure to credit AI when copying and pasting AI sources. Link to the site of the AI search, just like linking to an article.

I think this was on another thread. I remember answering this. Yes, I have been asked....by my own MOTHER! Talk about heartbreak! I hang around another female who is also 35 but never married (I'm divorced). Neither one of us dates. We're both overweight which equals no boyfriends...it does not equal gay! derrrrrrrrrrr!!!!

Yep....my own brother asked me! His whole thing was that I wasn't even talking about guys so that must mean I wasn't interested in them. He never has understood the view I've always taken on dating...oh well.

Yes I have been asked that (not directly but indirectly). :scratch: My grandmother is always asking me, "Who do you like?" I say nobody and then she tells me, "I hope you are not gay." I just haven't found the right man. I am not concerned about dating right now. It kind of hurts when someone tells you that (especially when you try to explain why you are single to an unbeliever.)

Yep, I have numerous times. Even by my friends. They'd say their first impression of me was as a footballer type, but when I'd say I didn't have a girlfriend and I wouldn't show that much interest, that's when the questions would come.

Didn't really concern me. More just annoying. I know the truth afterall.
