• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private.

  • 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.

Last time I posted, I posted about how I’m struggling with finding a job and finding love. One of the two might’ve just been answered. I’m starting a business that has a lot of promise and I hope that it will be my first step to being ready to find love.

Please pray for my business to do well, brothers and sisters. Also, if any single women are willing to at least talk to me, I’d be happy with you DMing me. It most likely won’t get far, but it’s great practice for talking for both of us.

That is great you're starting a business. You'll accomplish so much w/ that. For yourself & others too. Truly you are blessed. Your work is your gift & passion, nurture & baby that. A wife will come along according to God's time perhaps as you are busy with your work, but don't be consumed by the want now by God's grace

Seek ye first the kingdom of God & his righteousness.

Congratulations on the venture. May the Lord prosper the work of your hands. Focus on the business and give it your full attention. It will require more time than you’re aware of and prospects will be distracting. When you’re struggling in this area there’s a hunger that exists and emotional torrents. Most don’t marry the first person they meet and you have to ask yourself a difficult question.

Can you weather the ups of downs of dating while running a business? You don’t have a buffer and you’ll have to show up whether you’re in the mood or not. You show up when you’re sad, upset, depressed, etc. The way you determine your ability to do so is to recollect what you’ve done in the past. If you stayed in bed or spent the day moping that’s probably how you’ll respond.

Most men in your circumstances would tell you the same. Build the business and work on yourself and find her afterward. You’ll have more opportunities and be more confident.
