  • 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'll tell you but yu have to promise not to let anyone know........ok;)

Here ya go....Women and men that are in a relationship do not like to see us single people happy. Most of them are misserable in their relationships and what us to be misserable too. They can not stand to see other people happy.;)

Hey remy :wave:


I know the feeling sometimes...sometimes...

I want to get married some day, but not right now. However, I still have to deal with the questions, especially now that a lot of my younger cousins have married.

In fact, my grandmother wanted to know if an older cousin of mine is a homosexual just because she is still single. Why is it so hard for people (even family members who love us) to understand that the time is not right for us to be married? For some of us, the time may never be right. It's like they think I should measure myself according to how many dates I get or how many proposals (zero and counting!)

All I do know is this: As long as I am in God's will for my life, I will be okay...no matter if it means I'll have the grandest wedding ever or never say marriage vows.

Brooke :0)

thanks for the laughter and encouragement. :clap: i wouldn't be on this if it werent for people always telling me, "oh someone as handsome as yourself shouldn't be single!" i just had to vent somehow, and this was probably the most appropiate way of saying it (to keep of the admin radar ;)) i just dont want to be put under the impression I owe it to myself or whatnot.

I don't know why people try to force young adults to appear "happy and dating". The fact that I'm not searching for a relationship does not indicate anything, nor do any alarms need be sounded. My life is not in a stall, or incomplete in any sense, just because I'm voluntarily single.

I'm confident enough in myself to take people's expectations and throw them back. I simply hope that if someone tries to "set me up" that I don't completely smash the poor girl's heart if she ends up being a poor match.

I also think very much that people watch too many sappy romance movies, especially when they have been dating a while. It makes everyone want everyone to date. Frankly, its a horribly odd phenomenon. I haven't watched a really sappy movie in many many months, and I am much happier for it. Don't give in.

Sure, the media molds a lot of people into what they "should" be like.

But we have the Bible, that tells us it's ok to be single.

I was once watching TV with my mom when she looked at me and said, "You know, I'd still love you if you were gay."

You know, where i live is filled with large family immigrant germans, and some will think your automaticly gay because your not married in your early twenties. :|
One of my immigrant friends think Vin Desiel is gay because he's not married.
