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 want one

Often wrong, but never in doubt
Whoa, there!! I'm not necessarily looking for someone to "share my life with", depending on what that means, exactly. I'm thinking more along the lines of "It'd be so nice to have someone bring me a cup of coffee, give me a hug when things aren't going so great, sit and talk things over with me, etc." I'd love to bring covenantwmn a cup of coffee, (or cook her dinner, or squire her around the dance floor, or listen to her thoughts on angular geometry). Same for several other women here. Doesn't mean I necessarily want to be in a relationship. Doesn't mean I don't. I'm very happy with my present life, don't want anyone getting the wrong impression. I just miss some of those things about having someone.

Thank you very much, altho I don't know how to dance, lol, and angular geometry??
But i'd be glad to bring you a cup of coffee, and i'm a good listener. I hear what you're saying, doesn't have to always be about "finding" someone, but actually, isn't what you just described sharing your life?

Yes, you're right. That's why I phrased it the way I did. "Share my life" can mean different things to different people, that's all. I want to share my life if it means I get to keep part of it.
By the way, you DO know how to dance, you just don't know it yet. That's part of what I do, take a woman out there who wants to go, and make her look good!

We are the same on getting to keep part of it. I require a decent amount of solitude, if I ever meet someone, they'll have to understand. Good point, what exactly does "share my life with" mean??Yes, you're right. That's why I phrased it the way I did. "Share my life" can mean different things to different people, that's all. I want to share my life if it means I get to keep part of it.

I think it means sometimes being "together" and sometimes living alongside, if that makes any sense. As for the dancing, I honestly think you're the only one that would look good were we to dance, lol, but that's ok, nothing like watching a man in motion.

There's a club in Fremont, California, that I usually go to. However, I believe I could go anywhere in America and find a dance club, and meet people to dance with. As a matter of fact, I did just that, recently. I was in Denver on business, and met some nice people at the Grizzly Rose.

There's been a guy in my church that i've had the biggest crush on, but he now has a g/f, and I know they're very serious, probably get married. Thing is he's exactly what I want. He's an elder, first to jump to help out when it's needed, volunteers for everything. Has great insights to the Word. He is kind and courteous. Seems to treat his g/f very sweetly. It's been a long time, I find i'm missing the little things. It'd be so nice to have someone bring me a cup of coffee, give me a hug when things aren't going so great, sit and talk things over with me, etc. I'm really missing all that stuff, to the point where it gets very difficult. So I go to the Lord, His grace is sufficient, but at times there lingers the longing in my heart. That guy at church...I want one.
me too
Actually I agree with others who have said they don't necessarily want a full on relationship but just someone to 'share' life's moments with.By the way,
Hi there, I just found this little corner for mature singles. I'm looking forward to getting to know you all.Hope

It's only about 400 miles away from me. Someone from work just told me about a place in a neighboring city I will have to check out sometime. The instructor that I was taking classes with always told the men they were just there to make the women look good. And those guys were really doing their darndest!

Oh dear I'm in trouble then.
I love the idea of dancing but grew up in a non dancing church environment so never learnt and would probably make a right fool of myself, tripping over feet, going in the wrong direction etc. The idea of lessons is appealing but the thought of walking cold into a dance studio is a bit daunting. What if no one wants to dance with me?? Oh dear
I hope that if I do have a new relationship in the future that he'll be interested in learning to dance with me.

I haven't been to a lot of lessons, but every place that I've gone to; rotates partners so they have to dance with you.Oh dear I'm in trouble then.

I get it. You don't want to get involved. If it makes you happy, this is great. Enjoy!

Yeah, I grew up in the same type of environment.
If no one asks you to dance, you ask him. It's the 21st century, baby!! Or, you get creative. One woman who asked me, said she asked the (woman) bartender who she should ask. The bartender recommended me because I was a regular, and had a good reputation as both a dancer, and a person.This is something you can check out before you get married, you know.

Let's just say I'm going to be careful about getting involved with someone. This is not the same as "not wanting to get involved".
And yes, not getting involved with the wrong person does indeed make me happy. I know some people who didn't consider the consequences of getting involved with the wrong person, and boy are they unhappy!!

Yes, indeed, this is common practice during the lessons. You meet people during the lessons so you know who you want to dance with afterwards.
And yes, you might trip over your own feet during the lessons. Of course you do. Lots of people do. I certainly did, when I was learning. Guys don't only want to dance with the good dancers, we want to dance with someone who has a good attitude about the whole thing. Attitude is very important.
