  • 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.

lol forgive me, i've stayed up for 30 hours now and coffee and cold water aint workin anymore

As for signs back into the dating world, I don't think so. I don't think God never intended us to date in the first place. But if I were you, forget about dating and the whole finding your mate thing, keep focusing on God and he'll throw someone in your life down the road, it may be next week, or five years from now... it worked for me, even thought that was the longest 3 years I had to deal with.

Let me better clear it up. Are there any signs for getting back into dating?

Are you afraid that, when you get to heaven, God will be upset at you for dating? Are you afraid that you missed the verse that says, "Thou shalt not sharest thy dinner with an unwed woman"? Do you think God hates it when you have a good time?

Go. Get out there and date, if you want to. It's a "Free Will" kinda thing.

If your ex is an issue, then this might be applicable; if not, then it probably won't be. One good way to know you're ready to move on is when you stop seeing your ex when you look at any person of the opposite sex. Realizing that not every woman (or in my case, man) will act like your ex is an important step to take before you start dating again.

Just date the way God wants you to date and that He wants you to have fun but also be conscience of His will for you.
