• 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Everyone has had different experiences. Naturally! I've had wonderful email communications transfer over to wonderful telephone calls transfer over to wonderful face time. Just no partner for life. And I accept that. But those ladies have been no different than ones I've met face-to-face first.......in terms of a turning out to be a life partner. I will say this though - there IS absolutely the real life "clicking" that has to happen. You could share & share but a face-to-face meeting might show you're not compatible. It can go the other way too.......meet someone you feel attracted to for _____ (fill in the blank reason) but after you learn more down the road via communications they don't pan for those reasons. Go with what you're comfortable with.

Ok, I've tried the Cyber dating. To me it's difficult because you can't always 'read' the person by what they write. If you're lucky enough to actually TALK to them on the phone, you get to know more about them, but I agree - the 'face-to-face' thing is much better.
