• 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.

I know this isn’t a question about or based on god but I figured this is the best place to ask

Honestly, the best advice I can give is to understand the spirit that God gave you. Every one of us has incredibly powerful spirits. If we choose it to be. God can empower us in any situation given we put God first.
Take a breather. Let's look at this situation from another perspective. What are the reasons why you like this girl? Ask yourself, "what would Jesus think?" If you like her because she's really attractive, well, evaluate that. Find something more about her that you like. The problem these days is that sex and attractiveness, status quo, etc are all elevated into importance. Be careful with this. God is very specific in what sex is and is intended to be.
The best any of us can say is to seek God first and through him, you'll find your path in life. This path may bring you a woman and a family, it might not. Don't force anything and be patient. Trust in the Lord and observe what he has deemed important.
His coming!

Hello & welcome @Bubblewrap .
  1. You have not declared your gender. (Few here will approach that question without that being established first, particularly with you having a female avatar.)
  2. Assuming that you are male, that question is best placed at the Christian Advice forum.

Hey :)
Your age says 33 - is that correct?
A little more information about yourself will help direct this question to a better area.
Take Care :)

maybe you could write her a letter. Girls like letters, they keep them.

I wonder if you would get better responses if this was in a different area of CF.

This is really meant to be a short introduction - to tell us a bit about yourself and why you have come to CF. You have been here since September so I'm wondering if you would be better having this question raised in Christian Advice Christian Advice

You didn't say much about how old you are, or where you are in life today. So I'm going to cover things that might not apply to you. First I'm assuming you wish to be married.... NOW... as now. If you are not interested in being married, you have no business asking someone out on a date. When you are ready to marry, then you date.

What have you done to deal with your stuttering? Many famous actors stuttered, and they got help to fix it. Asking G-d is great. Now put some action to your request. Get some help to end your stuttering.

I'm assuming that you have a job, and that you spend your time doing something other than XBox. If not, you need to fix that, and start doing something more productive than just playing games.

I am of the opinion that if you do not have a full time, steady employment, working there for at least a year, or if you just got this job, have worked at a prior job for at least a year.... then you shouldn't be dating. Dating is for marriage, and thus taking the responsibility, duty, and honor of marriage. In order for you to fulfill you duty as a married man, you must be a responsible man that works for a living.

Beyond that, ask her out to a football game. You say she likes football... buy some tickets, and ask her to go with you to a game. If she says no, ask someone else.

What most women don't like is "Uh um.... er... do you want to go somewhere sometime?"

What many women do like "Hey I have tickets to the game on Friday. Would you like to go with me? I'll pick you up around 5, and we'll get something to eat before the game"

And you pay for it. With your money, that you earned.

Do not go on a date with your parents money, ever.

If you are not old enough to get married, you are not old enough to date. Do not date if you are not old enough to get married, OR if you do not intend to get married. Dating isn't a game, and playing around can break your heart, and her heart. The pagans run around damaging each other, and then they can't hardly trust anyone because their hearts have been broken 10 times before they even get out of high school.

If you are not serious, then don't date. Dating is for men, who want a real relationship with a woman.

That's my advice, and I wish you the best.

I’d definitely agree with that.

I’d also agree with @Andrew77 here. But I’d also add if you’re not ready to be looking at dating seriously it’s good to have female friends in your friendship circle. Lots of good relationships come out of friendships and every good relationship has friendship as a core component. So maybe work on having friendships and if you find someone you’d seriously like to date go from there.

So glad you posted that. I was actually praying and hoping a good women would validate my claim, because I tell guys this all the time, and they look at me like I'm making it up.

I'm not sure why they don't want to believe that. I don't know if that is just too much effort, or if they think it won't hurt their ego as much if they get shot down, without putting in any time or effort.

But know a guy who got everything setup, had the tickets ready to go, asked the girl and got shot down. So he simply asked another girl, and the other girl said yes, and they are married now. That was decades ago. You just don't know what might happen when you put the effort in. But you have to put the effort in.

Thanks for your post.
