  • 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

I think I scared a few of the men off in the beginning...LOL But, I agree that it goes both ways. I still say my biggest struggle is finding a guy that is in the same place I am kids-wise. Most guys I've met either have no kids (and I'm not sure if I want to have more kids) or they have teenagers and don't want to start all over again with little guys like mine.

Maybe I'll meet someone once Fall ball starts... :D
Kids don't scare me - it's how they behave that I pay attention to. I don't like seeing a teenager yell at his mom. I pay very close attention to whether or not they would get along with my kids.

I couldn't agree more that parent/child interaction is a big factor - as well as compatibility with my own kids.

I'll take it one further and say that I would trust my kids' opinions of the person I was dating more than my own one some level - b/c kids are very intuitive and know if someone really likes them or is just playing along... Not that I would leave it completely up to my kids, but I want them to know that their feelings on the matter will be considered/respected.

Hmm...soccerdad never responded, so maybe he's off flirting with one of the moms from his team... ;)
Yah sure ;)

I rarely in a position to meet some of those women. Maybe I should join a co-ed team. I'm not going to meet too many single women on my mens team.

I did forget the most important question any Christian gal wants to know -- Is he a Christian? She may want to know that and I forgot if her age is on here
I don't know. I don't really know him all that well.

No one on that teams knows I'm a Christian, it just never comes up. We play soccer and leave.
