Singles Forum Statement of Purpose
The purpose of our Singles forum is to have a unique place for our single members to fellowship and encourage one another, and to discuss faith, life, and issues related to being single. Posting is restricted to single members 18 and older. This forum is not intended to be a dating or matchmaking service; that type of thread would be off topic to this forum.
In addition to the site wide rules (found here), please take the following guidelines to heart while posting in the Singles forum:
Tips and suggestions for love and unity in the Singles forum:
Try to focus on current issues and the topic at hand, rather than rehashing old issues.
When someone shares a personal experience, allow them to feel heard even if you disagree.
If you're unsure about what someone means in a post, ask for clarification. It's better than jumping to conclusions and keeps hearts open to discussion.
Be clear about what in the post is unclear to you. Represent postings with accuracy, asking for clarification when needed.
Keep the discussion on topic. If you think your response could derail a thread discussion, please start a new thread.
As this is a Christian message board, we want to post in a manner that is respectful of both Christ and other members.
At times moderators may choose to close a thread or remove a post that is deemed off topic or inappropriate.
Thanks for making this a great forum for all our singles here on CF

We want to see everyone treated well here with all posts having a foundation of love and unity in Christ. This focus can get lost when folks make sweeping generalizations about groups of people. Generalizations or comments such as "men are like this", and "women are like that". When speaking in general terms, please use the word "some" ("some women/men _______."), so that it isn't a negative, sweeping generalization.
How to deal with addiction to inappropriate contentography, masturbation, and other sexual issues are limited to the Struggles with Sexuality forum, or the Men's inappropriate contentography Addiction forum. You can find controversial topics of health as related to human sexuality in the Men's Health forum and Women's Health forum. Topics of sex or premarital sex are off topic and will not be discussed or promoted in the singles forum. Singles* is a PG-13 forum, which means that you should not make sexual innuendoes or post sexually explicit images or comments.
References to or insinuations of the promotion of alternative lifestyles is also considered off topic in the singles forum. Please remember that homosexuality can only be discussed, without promotion, in Christian Communities and Faith Groups. Homosexuality may also be discussed in the Recovery and Ask a Chaplain forums.
