  • 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.

For me:
Step 1: He must acknowledge Christ as his saviour or I won't go out with him.
Step 2: I need to hear about how he is active in his church and how he tries to submit to God in all areas of his life, including his finances.

I want someone with a sense of humor, who has similiar views on spending, debt, etc. He has to be responsible and have a decent job.

If there's some chemistry and we start going out on a regular basis then I'd like to hear from him at least once a day. This could be an email, text message or whatever, but this lets me know that he's thinking about me. My bf and I usually communicate in some fashion 2 or 3 times a day and we always talk to each other before we head off to bed.

To win my heart you'd have to be my fiance! :p Now for a serious idea or two?

The only thing I can think of that my fiance won my heart by doing was simply NOT GIVING UP. This is not something I recommend tho as it doesn't break your and her heart in the process. His method of doing it was pretty much that he wanted to me to be his, and if he kept trying, he'd have better odds of winning. The fact was, the friendship and his patience won me over, along with someone asking me the day we started going out, "Is the the friend you want for life, or a man you can't live without?" I said the first. I corrected to the second about 2 days later, and confirmed with saying yes to his proposal 2.5 months later..

Ok enough about me... if you are together, love on her. If you aren't get closer to god (actually do that anyway!) and just ask others advice on it (preferably a pastor or spiritual leader). Oh and don't propose as quickly as my fiance did... it messes lives up!
