OK, THIS part does strike me as a red flag 🚩. Of course, as always it would depend on the context. Maybe your guyfriend brought it up and asked to see a pic. But if not..... yeah that definitely sounds like conquest/trophy behavior. 😕

Totally! I'd consider it a MUCH bigger red flag if we couldn't have a mature, open discussion about the pics and how we both felt about them.

Hi miss Hope! Very interesting thread and very interesting responses! 😎👍 Given the context of what you said in the above quote, my first impression is that he brought it up to guage your reaction. The "unofficial" stage of a relationship can be confusing because there are feelings present but...

Girl, I hope you're not offended by me saying this..... your old church sounds a Lil whack. 😬😳 It's one thing to require marriage within the body of Christ (definitely biblical!), but to require it within the CONGREGATION sounds like the mark of a cult. Glad you escaped...er, "left" 😜 Regarding...

I used to worry about the state of the world a lot too, but then at some point I realized there wasn't anything I could do about it (other than pray). It's all going to end at some point, sooner or later. I also realized there IS something I can do about the state of my community, so I've been...

This is sound doctrinal truth, and anyone who disagrees clearly never grew up in close proximity to a redhead! They don't even have to steal the spotlight, people just immediately surrender it to them. @Smoke : interesting topic! I've been trying to figure out if I personally have anything to...

Just being friends with her is a great way to build trust without the pressure of a relationship. People talk about the dreaded "friend zone" and how hard it is to move a friendship on to something serious. But I've never seen it that way. If you can stick with her through this rough time of...

And dangit, THAT IS WHY YOU NEED TO LISTEN TO WHAT WE ARE SAYING BECAUSE YOU DO NOT EVEN REALIZE HOW YOU ARE COMING ACROSS IF I COULD SOMEHOW DRILL THAT THROUGH YOUR MASSIVELY THICK SKULL I COULD DIE HAPPY. 🙄😫😔😭😭

Dangit Thomas, QUIT MAKING ME LAUGH THAT IS NOT ALLOWED WHEN I'M ANNOYED WITH YOU UGGGGHHH!!! 😂 And for the record, @StillLiving4Him / Keepingthingsreal never said anything lewd or off-color in private conversation. The reasons I didn't want to talk privately had nothing whatsoever to do with...

Other than telling you that I wasn't comfortable continuing the private conversation you started, I don't recall any accusations on my part 🤔. But yes, I certainly believe that there are things about me that are not good. I think that's true for all of us. Part of our growth in Christ includes...

Kinda swung for the fences there Missy, I appreciate the sentiment but gotta keep that stuff believable 😉 Thanks though! 😊😎

I don't recall ever accusing you of anything, but ok. I still pray for your family and wish you and them nothing but the best.

@StillLiving4Him .....if you don't get anything else out of what @seoulsearch has said, please at least take this part to heart. It's what I desperately wanted to tell you but never did.

Didn't want to react to your whole post with the laughing face since most of it was serious, but girl, this part seriously cracked me up! 🤣🤣🤣

Hi Aubrei, welcome to the site! Can you tell us more about how you felt God was telling you he would be your husband, and how he slipped through your fingers?

Never been on a blind date, but God set me up on an (almost blind) friendship once. Funny thing is, I knew what the person looked like (incredibly good-looking bodybuilder), and based largely off of that, I felt certain we wouldn't get along. I was literally judging him on his appearance 🤣. So...

Hey Miss Hope! Thank you for posting this, I'm sure it wasn't easy ❤. Without going into detail, let me just say that a lot of what you said in post 1 and 2 resonated with me. However, rather than beating yourself up for doing things "the hard way" or "needing a tough lesson", please consider...

This is true, but it applies to females as well. Last Summer a well-meaning guyfriend was trying to help me find someone. He suggested I join a dating site and go out with 3 guys a week until I find a good match. I stared at him in slight shock before asking if he wanted to make bets on how...

Hi Canadian! Yeah, that's definitely a valid point that Prov.31 wasn't acting independently of her husband and family in the provision sense.... like, no he wasn't micro-managing her; she ran her own business and even appraised and purchased land. But with the proceeds of her labor she took care...

Thanks, but not really..... God brought the awesome. Whatever part was "me" I tended to mess up lol 😆. I remember once I dragged my feet for EIGHT. WHOLE. MONTHS. To do something that God clearly, repeatedly, UNDENIABLY told me to do. But I didn't wanna. He literally had to start threatening me...
