  • 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

Well thank you for the support, if I ever go to Sweden i'll keep that in mind.

The thing is, that in Holland if you can't speak the language correctly then you'll always be a fifth wheel. You might be in a group, but you'll never be apart of the group. Serving as an example, I play rugby, but sometimes I mis-understand the coach due to the language barrier, the people around me do their best to help me, rather like one would help a child. You help him, but that doesn't make him your equal. This becomes evident in the interactions, you can tell that they try not to speak to me, as it is too much work.

Playing rugby is really my only activity where I feel semi-apart of a group. But this illusion lasts only as long as the pratice.

I'm also just nervious that if I liked a girl here, that she wouldn't give me the time of day because my dutch is weak.

Sometimes I miss England, but i've been here for nine years so this is really all I know.

I must be really hard to not know the language so good. and Dutch is a really.. special language.

I hope the talking part will sort out some how.

I think i'm going to grow my hair longer and go to a hair-dresser and have my hair-done into dreadlocks.

"It was said that the wearer lived a "dread" life or a life in which he feared God, which gave birth to the modern name 'dreadlocks' for this ancient style"

My mother thinks it is a good idea and she even said she would pay for it to be done. My sister thinks it will be cool. My Dad probably hates the idea, but he doesn't have to walk around with dreadocks.

I think you should go for it! And if you don't like them you could just get a haircut. It's a good way to show your style without getting a tatoo or something.

Yeah, I normally have impossible hair. This will allow me to have a cool hair cut, and if I maintain it well it won’t look too bad [/FONT]:sorry:

Hey everyone, I too am single (what a surprise!). I was dating this girl for two years, and she finally joined me at college a little over a month ago. From the second she got on campus, I could tell something was different. Long story short, she chose alcohol over me, and when she cheated on me when drunk one night, that was the line. So I've been working on getting over that.

I do like this girl, even though she's a decent bit younger than me (I'm 19...she's 16 or 17). I don't know why, I just like everything about her. The problem is I can't get her to see how great a guy I can be...I know if she could, she'd probably like me back. Well that's pretty much my story lol.

Sorry to hear that :/ I'm sure letting go won't be easy at all. But you'll make it through, and God will place you with someone better in time :D There's always, always, always comfort in that.

Dude.. sounds bad about that cheating girl..

Younger girl? Be careful dude! All I'm gunna say!

What do you want to drink?

I'd be fine with the younger girl. She's mature for her age, and I'm good with getting adults to like me (i.e. her parents). I mean, obviously nothing sexual will happen at all since we're both believers, but it's always better to have the parents liking you.

For the drink - do you have lemon lime Gatorade mixed with Red Bull? It's quite a delicious combination...

Thanks for the support. Every day that goes by, I realize more and more that God didn't want me with her and this is all a part of His plan. Now I'm just hoping this new girl I like IS a part of His plan lol.
