• 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Hi, I need some advice from a Christian, I am a 19 year old guy, I have never dated. There is this girl at a local supermarket that I think is pretty. I've only talked to her once, and it was just small talk. I know nothing about her. Do I walk up to her, and ask if she goes to church? Should I just be direct and ask for her number, and get to know her? Or do I need to wait? Thanks in advance.

For this situation, I think it would be best to have a conversation then ask for her number.

Asking someone about their church attendance, important as it may be, may come across as zealous or judgemental. Those kinds of conversations can some a bit later on IMO.

Welcome to the Christian Forums, by the way. I hope you enjoy your time here, man!

Just do whatever is on your heart at the time buddy. Otherwise you will probably have a plan and nothing will go according to that plan anyway. No situation is too small for God, that's what is great about our personal relationship with Him, so get Him involved with it... just tell Him your heart. "God I have no clue what I'm doing and Im scared to death, give me courage and above all else I pray Your will be done.. if its meant to be lets rock n roll, if not then please don't make this be too embarrassing" ... Ha, I don't know how you pray to Him but, just try and relax and whatever the outcome be confident that whatever happened was meant to be... whether you never talk to her, you talk to her and everything goes great, or you talk to her and then you want to spend the next year and a half under a rock. Put God above everything else in your life and you will have no worries, at least none you can't handle, and you can be confident that your life will be in harmony with His will... and nothing is better than that.

I personally would not feel offended at all if someone were to walk up to me and just randomly ask if I go to church or what my religious beliefs were aside from the fact that I think it would be an odd way to start a conversation so you could be upfront with her but some people might not like that however, you could also just start talking to her and then maybe sometime in random conversation ask her about her beliefs. Girls aren't scary, I promise.
