• 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. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

Im 14. Obviously going through the whole girls thing. One thing Ive been wondering is, is wrong to like people for their looks? Im not saying necessarily ONLY for there looks. But I guess, Is it wrong to like a girl because you think she looks "cute"? Are looks supposed to count for anything? I go to a catholic school and have been wondering this for a little while.

I think that all love grows from a form of lust. That is that all love grows first from a physical atracttion.

This is more true for males than females. We are driven by visual stimulation....so go for it, pick the best looking girl over the plainer ones, thats the way of the world.

This topic is getting some discussion in a nearby thread.

Here is my advice for you TheWhat:

Be not ashamed. Always remember that your feelings are normal, part of being alive, and they do not make you a sinner.

Be respectful of others always--be they dazzlingly, heartbreakingly cute, or less so.

I could go on, but that's basically it. Good luck!

While physical attraction may not be the most important aspect of a relationship, it can still add a lot to one. Read Dear Abby long enough and you will see that many normal (and older) people struggle with this issue all the time. Give yourself permission to enjoy physical attraction and dont try to suppress it, just don't let it get blown up out of it's proper place.
