So I feel as though a question like this is best approached more from a sociological perspective, and I don't know what the statistics are as far as people in general or Christians specifically are concerned. I do know people are getting married later (late 20's on average I believe), but I...

To the OP, what dating sites have you been on just out of curiosity? Most of my own experience has been on eHarmony (albeit not a Christian dating site), and I have come across many women who are church-attending, Bible-believing Christians. I would say, though, that I think your definition of...

I try not to make that big of a deal out of it in my own mind so as not to be brought down into any of those tough feelings singleness can sometimes bring about. So given that, I'm usually glad when it is gone and don't care to think about it anymore afterwards.

Well, I don't like to generalize because there are women who struggle tremendously with sexual temptation as well. I don't think I would talk in predator-prey terms because that invokes thoughts of sexual assault. Most guys that struggle with sexual sin are not sexually assaulting anyone. When...

I mean, I think there are similarities and differences across both genders, but in general sex is a powerful thing. It impacts us on all levels--physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually, etc. Our bodies respond powerfully to sex as well, and it's not hard to fall into a pattern that can...

Yeah, I'm not a fan of FAAB either. Good luck in yours as well! I am officially through to the championship in one league, am up by a decent amount in two others, and am a little behind in the last two. I need Kamara to score 6 non-PPR points more than Wil Lutz, and I need 11.4 PPR points from...

I'm in seven this year myself. Two are buy-ins and five aren't. I'm in the semis in all five non buy-in leagues, and didn't make the playoffs in the two buy-ins, haha. I'm thinking about writing a book called "How to Win at Fantasy Football and Still Lose Money." But for the record, one of the...

Welcome to CC! Don't mind any of the bossy folks who like to tell every newcomer that this isn't a dating site.

Ahh okay. Hmm...I am not so sure about that. That means if a person wants to end the conversation with you, all they have to do is get mad. People will use anger as a ploy to push your boundaries, so walking away may or may not help depending on the situation.

So then my next question would be what bothers you about the way you are handling conflict? For me, I have always had the tendency to do the same as you and concede to the other person so that I actually avoid the conflict. What I began to realize, though, was that I would habitually put my...

Aephus, when you face a potential conflict and then concede to the other person in order to avoid it, are you usually satisfied with the outcome or unsatisfied with it?

I would be very open with him and share exactly the thoughts you described to us. You have a strong (and rightful) conviction against sexual intimacy of any kind (verbal or otherwise) with any man who is not your husband, and you are only looking to be with a man who shares that conviction. If...

I don't think there is really a hard and fast "should" or "shouldn't" here. I strongly believe the man should initiate, and I believe the initiator should be the one who pays. So you could say I arrive at the conclusion that the man should pay, but if a woman made the first move and it was her...

zero, I am really sorry to hear that you have been dealing with some hard things. I do think questions like this can make the other struggles feel even more burdensome. It can be hard to imagine how God would allow such horrendous things to happen to us or to other people. How can that be...

I am with Lynx in that I'm not sure I fully understand your analogy. But as for the first thing you said, I am just wondering what you think would be fair to you as far as life or God are concerned?

That's super interesting. I think Quality Time and Words of Affirmation are mine with Physical Touch being a close second. Being a Physical Touch person is tough because that can be the most difficult means of affection to come by, especially if your loved ones aren't into hugging and showing...

That makes sense. I actually feel that way sometimes too. Have you heard of the Five Love Languages? I don't know if it would be helpful for you or not, but it has helped me identify what tends to make me feel the most loved. They are: Quality Time - This would be someone just taking time...

That makes sense :) Just trying to get a better idea of where you are coming from. Also, I am still curious about what I had asked before. When it comes to interacting with other people, what kinds of things make you feel most loved, cared about, or accepted?

If you want to know why disputes happen on forums (or social media in general) nowadays, here is the reason: Person A makes a thread about a topic. Person B comes along and one of two things happen: Either Person B criticizes what Person A said, or Person B responds with some reply that is not...

This is 100% untrue.
