  • 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

If I just went up to a girl I liked and talked to her....just talked to her, and then asked her out, would she say yes?

Well that would depend on the women, there isn't a man on the planet who will get a yes every time.

As long as you stick around your league you should be fine for the most part.

But you look like crap getting shut down.....how can you get rid of that humiliation but still get where you need to go?

It depends on how you take it, you don't have to look like crap. Just hold your head high after she says no and just move on.

But you were just rejected....people will find out, and your position will be lowered.

Only if you make it into a big deal. If you work on not caring if other people find out you'll find you really don't look like crap whenever someone rejects you. The only reason most people care is if you make a big enough deal out of it that your reaction makes caring worth it.

But then what league should I be playing a round in?

I really wouldn't have an idea, it's hard to judge someone's attractiveness through the internet.

I would say you would be safe to pursue the attractive, but the ones in the 9-10 league may be a little shaky. You might want to wait until you have a better paying job to go after those ones, if you're worried about rejection.

That's just my personal opinion, I don't really know too much about the dating scene though. My advice would be to be content with those who are marginally attractive, and not torture yourself with the perfect angels. Least for now....

The losers are the ones who lose. If I got rejected by a lesserly attractive girl, you'd better believe people would look lower upon me. If she was hot, the yeah it would be less of a deal.

But that doesn't mean it's still not a deal.

Grow thicker skin, and stop worrying about what other people think.

If you can't do that, then ask women out where you know no one else will find out about the consequences.

I care what others think about me, and I doubt it's ever going to stop.

Do you enjoy caring about what others think of you deep down?

If you can admit that, perhaps it might be easier to rid yourself of this plight than you may think.
