• 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. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

What do you call your SO while courting?

my beloved, my courter, my intended... (what can I say... I'm oldfashioned myself)


i adore "my beloved" but for some odd reason i'd rather use that within marriage.... odd, right?

I say boyfriend. Where i'm from that doesn't necessarily mean it's casual. I also say "my man" sometimes.

Aww! Glad to know I'm not the only one thinking this. Some of my favs that you said were "my beloved" and "the front runner for the future Mrs." or however you put it. lol :thumbsup:

Anyone have an unusual pet name? Steve and I both call each other Sweetie and Baby, and occasionally, (and this is the unusual one) I call him my Puppydog. (He's loyal, sweet, etc.) lol But we never use any of these in public.

Well,

We consider each other BF/GF....though we haven't really define whether we are dating or courting! lol...

Mainly because most of the time, we are not together. (LDR).

I usually around my friends/family say "My Sweetie"

But his brother Phil says I am the "Better Half" and John is "The Worst Half" ^_^
