For a while now Ive been facing rejection from females, which I can usually handle, I'll feel abit down but then I'll muster up the confidence to try again. Recently I decided I'll give online a go and pretty much my early encounters have shredded my confidence and self esteem. My most recent escapade in the online dating world involved an awesome connection with a fellow christian girl. We built this great vibe, I had reason enough to be hopeful. Our connection was getting stronger with each message, each message was recieved with a hit of the butterflies accompanied by my inability to fight off daydreaming (yes, ive never had someone special in my life, it couldnt be helped). I was in a state of deliria, I could sense it, our conversations were leading towards a possible meetup (yay first date ever!!! Ok buddy settle down) but first we needed to exchange photos, derp, ofcourse silly me. She sent a message asking to see some photos of me, so I spent a good 15 minutes frantically scrolling through all my mug shots, hoping to find a good photo of myself. I eventually settled on 2 photos... select, upload, send bang. Feeling pretty relieved after such an arduous task, I nervously wait upon her approval and our eventual sorting out of first date. I started to notice that the response time after sending my photos was feeling a little longer than her previous messages. A few hours later... a day later.... a few days later and no reply. It was at this point in time I started to realise that maybe I am too physically unattractive to find a female companion. I started reflecting on all my rejections and my confidence and self esteem which was pretty high a few days ago, has all but been reduced to rubble. I was feeling very discouraged but writing this rant has eased the pain tremendously and I thank anyone who took the time to read this. I'm slowly ridding my discouragement and I'm convincing myself that god has a very special person reserved for me and that my time will come. Once again thankyou, and love you all, have a blesesed day.

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.
