  • 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

Hey all. I thought it would be a good idea if we all introduced ourselves to each other to help each other out and make it easier for the new ones. Maybe include your name, and your relationship status, and maybe your S/O's first name.

My name is Heather, and I'm currently being courted by a wonderful man named Steven. Assuming all goes well with his job, we hope to be engaged sometime in 2006 and married in 2007. A big part of our relationship was long distance, and I love helping out other people in LDR's, so feel free to PM me anytime!

i'll go next

My name is Terri and i'm currently dating a GREAT guy who I love dearly and could go on and on about, but i'll save you guys from that. Hi's name is Ben, and we've been dating for a little over a year. We met when he was a freshman in H.S. and i was a sophmore and started dating my sr. year. If all goes as planned (God willing) we'll be married soon after i graduate from college. Currenly we're in a LDR, he lives in northern Ohio and i'm in soutern Ohio, so we're about 2.5 hours apart (not to bad), but he's hoping to get accepted to MIT, so he'll be in Boston and i'll be in Ohio and then it'll be a serious LDR.

My name is Wing. I am not dating any person at the moment - but I do have a lot of friends who are female online at the moment - I don't have female friends in real-life. I've helped people with relationships a lot over the past year - people have been coming to me and telling me about their emotions, both real-life and online, and I'm really happy that I'm able to help through CF

lol thats neat. why do you go by terri?

A few months before i was born one of my mom's really good friends passed away (cancer i think) and her name was Terri. Mom wanted to name me Terri, but she wasn't sure she could do that, so she named me Tara, but has always called me Terri

I don't give out my name on here, so just call me Maeyken. I'm a nurse at a large-ish teaching hospital. I've been working there since June. I'm engaged to a wonderful guy, and we're getting married in June Only 6 months left!! My fiance is in his second year of seminary.

We got engaged in September. My engagement ring was at the jewellers getting resized for a week and a half and I missed it a lot, but he brought it over before he went to work today. I'm so glad to have it back!

I'm Cassie. I've been engaged for seven months now and my wonderful fiance (TransformedByGrace here on cf) and I hope to be married in June next year! We met on cf and have spent over half of our relationship long distance, which is one of the reasons we just recently decided to move the wedding up yet again.

Wow! I didn't realize that you had been in 3 LDR's!!!!! lol
You are much tougher than I could ever be. If my relationship with Steve doesn't work out and I feel the need to move on, I will turn and run as far away from an LDR as possible! I am not going through that again!!!!

Thanks for all the great advice you've given me and others. It's really helpful. You're right. There are too many people giving fluffy responses out there. Sometimes we need to hear the bare truth. God bless!

*takes the microphone*

Hi everyone, I'm Kate and I'm madly in love with my boyfriend Phill. (yes, two L's) We've been dating for just over 1 year and 4 months and we will get engaged sometime in the next 2 years. I'm still at uni and he's working full time, so we're hoping to get engaged in my last year of uni. Wedding planning and uni exams just don't mix!

I give a bit of advice, I've been there, done most things, and I find I can help people with that. I've also had lots of experiences with abuse unfortunately so I try to help with that a little bit. I am very lucky to have Phill.


It's lovely to meet you all.

Hi all!
I'm new to the forums as you all could see. My name is Shanetria and I am a born-again Christian. I'm courting a guy named Melvin who is also a born-again Christian. We met online and found out we lived just 15 minutes from each other. If it's the Lord's will, we plan to be engaged in 2006 and plan to marry on April 07, 2007. I am an online minister and I counsel alot of people primarily in relationships. I'm a single parent of a 2 year old, and I'm currently in my last year of college for Business Administration. In my spare time, I like to sing, surf the web, spend time with family and friends, spend time with my Lord and savior, that is reading my Bible, praying, fasting, and worship. I also like to shop till I drop! If you are having any problems that you need to talk to someone about, please feel free to drop me a line and I will gladly help in in way that I can! God bless you all.

I'm ardeur (I don't want to give out real names) and I've been dating my precious boyfriend for one year. We've known each other for 3 years and might get engaged in a year, maybe more... maybe less. I just graduated and there are many different roads I can take at the moment with my career. I'm just waiting on the Lord for the right path and enjoying all the time I having getting to know and love my boyfriend. Oh, we were both saved at a young age.
