• 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's your 'type'?

I know that I want a guy who is less firey than me - I have a strong temper and I need someone who can calm me down when I get started, I also need someone who will understand me

Tell me about it as I have an horrible temper and I am really, really bad at patience.

I think this sums it up:

Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot,
who calls you back when you hang up on him,
who will stay awake just to watch you sleep.
Wait for the boy who kisses your forhead,
who wants to show you off to the world
when you are in your sweats,
who holds your hand in front of his friends,
who thinks you're just as pretty without makeup on.
Wait for the one who is constantly reminding you
of how much he cares about you
and how lucky he is to have you.
Wait for the one who turns to his friends and says, "...that's her."

Speaking about temper - I have a horrible temper, too! Although it's not to the extent where I would kill someone.

I am usually calm but sometimes, when I have too much patience with a person - I will start getting angry and annoyed and frustrated.

Verbally, I use pretty strong words when I do express myself out and open my mouth (which I don't normally do!) Some people, after hearing what I say verbally, would never think I am at a young age only.

Tell me about your temper!

i get very angry when I see injustice being done, not to the point where I would hit someone but I get very wound up at things and it would be good to have someone there to tell me to calm down and help me when I'm like that

Quoting For Great Truth! ESPECIALLY for the first one. 'Hot' is not a compliment. 'Hot' is something you play with till it gets cold, 'beautiful' is something you protect and cherish.

Anyways, what I'm looking for in a partner:

She's gotta be a fighter, willing to put her faith into action and stand beside me when we're surrounded by enemies. BeetleQueenDiva, I like what you said: "I get very angry when I see injustice being done" That's a good, Godly quality :)

She has to put up with my Chivalry; Ladies, I know you can open your own doors, but I consider it a gesture of respect: In every girl there's a princess wanting to get out and although they're quite capable, princesses don't have to open their own doors :D

I'd like her to to think, to debate, and to argue obscure theological points. I don't mind if she's smarter than me! Iron sharpens iron, and I love a good debate even if I loose.

I don't belong to me. I've given my heart to God and He gave it back to me to use for a while. She needs to understand that although I love her with all of that heart, I cannot be her's alone because I belong to God. I expect her to love God more than me too, because I couldn't stand knowing that she loved me more than the One that gave us our love.

Out of all of those, only the last one really matters. The other's would be nice though.

I have to say I wasn't going to play the list game, the game of writing down the names of people on here who you would date, however I changed my mind having seen the post above mine!!! My list is short though, it is:

Pyrogenesis
Jamza

These 2 because they seem like very Godly men and people who are not afraid to stand up for what they believe in - plus they've both been really nice to me :) when I was nervous last week.

Thank you!!! I like men who will open the door for a lady, it's actually annoys me when they don't!!!

Just to add - I would have to marry someone who is HONEST, who will always tell the truth, I cannot stand when people lie

I admire that. But keep in mind there's a flip side to that coin. If you want a *truly* honest person, you will have to expect to get hurt, sometimes very deeply. Just hope that that person knows how to be honest with you in a loving way. But even done with tact, truth is, truth hurts.

So true. Ive often been on the flip side where Im the one who says the truth in a less than pleasant way. And Ive realized the importance of saying things in a tactful manner. It's unrealistic to expect someone to be there for you all the time...well at least I think so.

I'd rather have a truth that hurts me than a lie that destroys me.

I want a woman who understands that when I call her "hot", I'm trying to compliment her, and doesn't get her knickers in a knot about it.

In the same vein, I want a woman who doesn't accuse me of lying when I say she's beautiful. I once broke up with a woman who did that.

Wow, that describes EXACTLY everything I did for my ex-girlfriend.

Yeah, EX-girlfriend.

Guess women don't appreciate that kinda stuff as much as they claim.

I'd agree with that if every woman was your Ex and you truly did all of that.
