  • 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

This may sound dumb, but I really don't know a whole lot about dating. I have a few questions. Okay the first question is do you have to wait like three days after a date to call a guy? I've heard people say you should wait. The second question is after how many dates do you know a guy wants you to be his girlfriend? Also, what is courting? That may be the route I want to go. I don't want to date, just to date. I want to find my future spouse. I feel like such a preteen right now. Haha. Anyways could someone please help me?

Uh... the guy should call you, and it should usually be the day after. He'll ask you to "be his girlfriend," "go steady," "get serious," when he's ready to go to the next level. Courting is another name for dating, but generally it indicates that you're dating with the intent of assessing each other for marriageable qualities. That is, you're dating because you're looking for a husband/wife.

The label doesn't matter, so long as you are pursuing this in a way that is honoring to God. Generally speaking, courting means dating for marriage. If you cannot imagine marrying a particular guy, then you should not date him, and so forth. You have the right idea. :)

I'm not sure about the 'rules' nor would I be too concerned with those. Just be concerned with staying focussed on the Lord.

God bless
