• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

  • 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 havent felt this way in a long time. Theres this person who means a lot to me and I would really like to have a relationship with her. I bought her a box of chocolates for Valentines Day but I never told her how i felt. I have trouble finding the right time to do it, and when I do have a chance I blow it and never end up telling her. I get really anxious waiting just to see her and try to tell her how i feel but never do and its really wearing me down. My faith is a main issue hear. I pray and ask God for a chance but deep down i feel like it wont happen anyway, that i wont get that chance and I feel like as if im just digging a hole for myself. Please help me with any advice you may have.

Love nathan55

Good question... if you are thinking she might be the 'one' then you shouldnt be scared of anything.

The way I have always looked at it, is the worst she can say is no... and the best she can say is yes. You have a 50-50 shot and if the Lord has it in store it will happen... you will find the strength. ;)

GO GET EM TIGER! ;)

Thanks for the responces guys, it means a lot to me, it really does. I did tell her how i felt and asked her out. She said no because of her schedual, but i dont know. I was happy to tell her how i felt but upset at the fact she said no. im not mad at her, i cant blame her at all shes still a cool person. I normally dont date, im not normally an emotional person, it takes a lot for me to activly tell someone how i feel, so in a way this could have been "the one". . Ultimatly i feel it is in the Lords hands, if He wills it to happen then cool, if not i gotta keep truckin anyway. Thanks for the love guys

love, nathan55
