• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private.

  • 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.

How do you "send the signal?"

really? Thats crazy, I'm a very touchy/feely kinda gal!

I've met a bunch of girls at church who like sharing hugs with me and stuff, just none who touch me on the knee when they talk to me. Not to belabor the point, or anything... It's probably just the luck of the draw where I live.

When it comes to other, fairly normal, types of physical contact, like getting those little shoulder hugs, I don't think anything of it beyond just that they're happy to see me. In fact, there's so much physical contact in the culture that I've grown up in that I don't think of it being a "signal", or anything, unless it's something really atypical.

A better indication to me, which has been mentioned before, are the more subtle reactions. I was getting a ride from a friend, and her sister was sitting up front between us. She was sitting real stiffly and blushing big time. She didn't say a word the whole time, she just had this funny little smile.

Hey justaguynamedrob,

Are you considering an answer to my post?

That's just it: there's no universal "one size fits all" way of being a challenge. That's why I said it's different for different people. When people say you need to be more of a challenge, they're really just speaking from their own personal ego; "the world according to me."

I don't know this guy you're referring to from Adam, so I couldn't even begin to speculate as to what he might consider a challenge.

Well personally I think the guy is just "blowing smoke" and even HE doesn't know what he means. His previous wife was blonde hair blue eyes barbie type and his current gf is dark hair but very pretty still. I just think he's a jerk and wouldn't know a good woman if she kicked him you know where!
