• 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.

Compliments are helpful.

"Hey, that's a cute outfit" or something. Look for accessories, seriously. Girls really like their accessories. Pointing out how great they are is a good way to earn instant points. After that, it might not even matter if you're a little awkward.

No no no. She will think he is gay.

Just say she looks really nice or beautiful.

Why not dude? Don't you like her?
I guess. I mean, I only talked to her five mintues. I was just so taken-a-back by what she said. Had she not suggested me switching classes I wouldn't have thought much of it.

I don't take risks and putting any feelings I have out there is something I cannot do.

Just double checking, hair is not an accessory, right?

No its not and its a great compliments to give!

In the conversation he can say she looks really nice, but he can just talk to her about what interests them. If writing is their thing, then talk about writing. Oh and make her laugh.

Okay, well, to the degree of how much you like her, only you know.

I don't know what to say then, I know back in the day one day I decided I was sick of being a wallflower and the pain of staying the same hurt more than changing, that's when I started having the guts to ask girls out. It was awkward at first and the first few times I fell flat on myself, but it got easier after a while.
