Do you feel cared for or cared about by Him doing that?

What could God do to show you that He cares?

We all will. We are all in this together.

So I wouldn't see it as a lose-lose type of situation. I might be a bit of an idealist, but I think the best situation would be that you meet someone and you gain friends rather than losing them. Once you get serious with someone, you no longer just have your friends, but theirs too. Opposite...

You know what's interesting? I actually have talked to a guy around our age on another forum who has echoed a lot of the same struggles that you are talking about here. He is on the spectrum as well and has talked about feeling frustrated and fed up with difficulty connecting to God and other...

It's likely there have been threads like this before, but hopefully one or more of these questions are framed in a unique way at least. Do you believe it is okay to date more than one person at a time? If so, why? If not, why not? Or does it depend on the scenario or circumstance? Obviously...

HistoryPrincess, you have brought up a host of major topic that are each massive in and of themselves, but I just wanted to start by responding to your OP. Others have offered some really helpful thoughts along the lines of what I was thinking, but I thought I would piggyback off of those. I...

I think it's hard to give a universal picture for how this would look for every single person, so I'm basically just going to mention some guiding principles that I plan to try to follow when it comes to this topic. -I really believe that one of the keys to success in dating and marriage is to...

Well in the case of the elderly, they just tend to be vulnerable and easily manipulated, and a lot of times these scams are meant to induce a panic in them that makes them makes the amount of money requested or demanded worth putting an end to the stress. My grandmother was contacted one day a...

Statistically women in the U.S. have attended church at a higher rate than men for decades. There are several single women and men at my church (of around 250 people). None of them that I know attend church to find a mate. They attend church out of obedience to God for the purpose of worshiping...

I've never heard about it being looked down upon, especially if it's a place you have already been attending for awhile. Having a relationship with someone within the context of Christian community is a great way to go if it gets to that point. You are better off not asking her out in front of a...

I would say rather than focusing on going out and trying to find a date, maybe just find ways to go out and meet new people in general and see what happens. You may or may not find a date, but hopefully you'll find some people that bring you life and have fun in the process :)

I'm sure the super weird and creepy responses don't help either lol.

This whole storyline about sexual economics is only partially true, which is why it sounds so convincing. If you want to call any situation where two people make a mutual decision because it benefits them both an economic decision, then that's fine, but it's an oversimplification of reality...

I disagree.

Oh really? I assumed that they were the same like wedding vows are now, so I assumed wrongly. But the point is that when two people are married, 'me,' 'my,' and mine,' becomes 'us,' 'our,' and 'ours.' This is how God intended marriage to be.

I have heard it said that you can only pour out to others what you have contained inside. God loves you deeply and He doesn't view you that way. Being able to embrace that and love ourselves is key to being able to show others love. I can definitely be a curmudgeon at times, but I find that the...

I believe it is wise to share a bank account with your spouse. If you don't, then that is a red flag about the state of your relationship. There's actually an old version of a wedding vow that says "With this Ring I thee wed, with my body I thee worship, and with all my worldly goods I thee...

We haven't interacted a lot previously, but I just wanted to say that I admire your humility and your self-awareness. I have dealt with some difficult things in my life over the past few years and there have been a few occasions where I have had to express apologies to various individuals for...

I probably was operating on a slightly different understanding of "understanding" too :P I more meant that it's not up to us to make excuses or apologies for the other person's wrongdoing. It sounds like you are talking about understanding in the sense of how you can see circumstances in a...
