  • 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

1. No, I didn't ever tell myself I'd marry by a certain age. In fact, I never really knew if marriage was right for me.

2. I still AM friends with my special someone. We're best friends. We love just hanging out and talking and watching TV and playing video games and baking and eating and doing everything friends do.

3. I am a female, so I never plan on asking anyone for his OR her hand in marriage But no, my boyfriend has not yet asked me to marry him. But it's coming within the next year.

4. Yes, I have. It was ok... I don't agree with some of Harris' basic precepts, but I think his intentions are good.

Not at all. I never placed pressure upon myself to marry by a certain age.

We met in 1977 at the age of one and were immediate playmates. This lasted throughout our childhood and adolescence. We are one another's best friend.

I don't think I set an age to get married, although if I was still single at 21 the plan was that me and my mate would just give up on girls and date each other.. .. it's highly likely that we had been drinking at the time though too.

I am friends with my special someone now.. didn't exactly have much of a chance of being friends sooner due to being on different continents.

3. Did you ask for her hand for marriege?

First time I spoke to her.. again I may have been drinking but she thought it was cute.

4.Have you read the book name "Boy meets Girl"?

No, as an adult I felt ready to get married at 23 but I didn't have a person to marry. However growing up I didn't have an idea at what age I would marry.

2.were you friends with your special someone?
Click to expand...

Yes and no. We met online and we where friends online for a while before we got together.

That said we are still friends. . . we are only friends that kiss and tell eachother how much we love eachother.

3. Did you ask for her hand for marriege?
Click to expand...

No, I wanted to ask her dad in person but since she's a 1000 miles away it didn't work out in terms of traveling so I asked her without asking her dad.

But I don't feel so bad, because her dad didn't ask her mom's dad and her mom was 17 when they got engaged. Melissa was/is 26.

I did however ask her for her hand in marriage. Just didn't ask her dad.

4.Have you read the book name "Boy meets Girl"?
Click to expand...

No and don't intend to.

Yeah, we both read it when we started dating. I liked some of the stuff on communication but a lot of it was way too over-the-top for us. I wouldn't really recommend it personally.

No, still not even sure if marriage is right for me.

Yes. We were best friends for 3 years before we dated. By best I mean really best. Tell-all situation, person-you-hang-out-with-all-the-time. Everyone referred to us as essentially one person. We were treated like one person () we stuck together that much. We were the sort of best-friends that we would fight.

6 months into our friendship he fell for me but I was like "nahhhhhh" and I only started to become interested a couple of months before we officially started dating. So it was unrequited love on his behalf for over 2 years.

He has certainly not asked for my hand and if he did he'd be rejected pronto

No and it doesn't sound too good to me either.

1. No, I didn't have any dates in mind. I broke up with my highschool sweetheart because he didn't really want to get married. I had no clue when I would find someone and get married. Why have you decided you need to be married at 26?

2. No, I didn't know him.

3. I'm the girl. He asked my dad first then he proposed to me with all four of our parents present

4. Nope. I read I Kissed Dating Goodbye when I was young but I didn't apply it.

1. Before meeting that special someone, did you tell yourself that you would marry at a certain age.
I hoped to marry in my early 20's, maybe at 22, 23 but I never expected it.

2.were you friends with your special someone?
Yes! We actually met on CF 5 or so years ago. He is American and I am Australian. In the first few years of talking we never expected we'd ever end up meeting and so this freed us to grow in friendship without any romantic feelings or ideas getting in the way. Not long after we started talking we became best friends.

3. Did you ask for her hand for marriege?
No. He asked me.

4.Have you read the book name "Boy meets Girl"?
Yes. It's a pretty good book.

1. Before meeting that special someone, did you tell yourself that you would marry at a certain age. No, I hadn't selected an age that I wanted to be married by. I would like to finish my double degree at uni before I get married though.

2.were you friends with your special someone? Yeah we had been friends for about a month before we went on our first date.

3. Did you ask for her hand for marriege? No he has not proposed yet, he has told me he would like to get married ASAP (hehe), but I want to wait a little longer.

4.Have you read the book name "Boy meets Girl"? No, but I read I kissed Dating Goodbye, and that was quite interesting.
