  • 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

Dude, I know this has already been said, but you're only 13.

At 18+ you have a MUCH different view of what love is. At 13, it seems like the cool thing to do... going out and dating n' all, however it would be much better for you to wait until you're AT LEAST 16.

Although I've never actually dated, so I'm probably not the best person to say this, but just wait, and if God thinks you need a wife (he knows much better what we need than we do ourselves) then he will supply one when you're ready.

Since you're just 13, go out and enjoy yourself :)

whoa, 13, slow waaaay down there. I am 19, and haven't had 1 girlfriend (mostly by choice, I'm not some wierd video game freak with the social skills of a stapler). Anyhoo, save yourself for a good guy. I think that it is seriously AMAZING when I meet girls that have chosen not to date. It boosts their ratings way up. Girls that are "hard to get" are attractive.
God bless

At 13, your hormones are likely starting to really kick in. Those can do a number on your emotions, etc. Why is it that you want a boyfriend? Because of peer pressure? Because everyone else is doing it so it must be the thing to do? Because you feel lonely? Because you want to start 'messing around'? Because you are bored? As a status symbol? Or maybe some other reason?

You may think that a boyfriend would make you happy, and maybe a lot of your peers are already starting to have boyfriend/girlfriend relationships, but try to take a step back and look at the whole situation from an outside perspective. Almost all girlfriend/boyfriend relationships at your age are very short-lived. People break up after a week or a month or a couple of months, and then go through heartbreak, feeling that they've just lost a long-term relationship. A boyfriend might give you feelings of happiness for a short while, but in the end, you'll be right back where you started.

Another thing to remember is that guys and girls pressure each other to push their boundaries, just like 'everyone else' is doing and before you know it, you've done way more than you intended to do and have regrets that follow you for years. If you feel the need to get a boyfriend partially because 'everyone else has one' or 'people will look down on you if you don't' or any other peer pressure sort of reason, chances are that you will also give in if that boyfriend wants you to go farther with him because 'everyone else is doing it' etc. Again, the guilt and regret that can follow are not going to make you happy.

If you're lonely and just want someone to talk with and hang out with, my advice to you would be to find some good friends. They might be boys or girls. There's nothing wrong with having 'just friends' of the opposite gender. And chances are that those regular friendships will bring you more happiness in the long run than a boyfriend would.
