Admin	Just Friends Posted : 8 Jun, 2015 06:14 PM I see people on here put looking for a friend in their profile. I am not criticizing that. I have that in my profile. However, I see that when I read their profile they seem to contradict that they are just looking for "A Friend." I am on here simply to find new friends. I have never been someone to date. I am 39 and have only been on less than probably 6 dates in my life. I have had female friends that I would go hiking with or to lunch etc but we had a clear understanding that we were and always would be just friends. So ladies, when you put looking for "a friend" on a profile is that what you are truly looking for? Post Reply
View Profile History	Just Friends Posted : 8 Jun, 2015 06:43 PM Doesnt a courtship start with friendship? A healthy developed God Centered relationship begins with a really good friend ie best friend that will last through all the times when the sensual stuff is waining down the road within the marriage. Hope this helps Gods grace to you Post Reply
View Profile History	Just Friends Posted : 8 Jun, 2015 07:39 PM I was using dating in a very general sense which would include the idea of courtship. I am not looking for anything beyond friends. I do not see myself in any other situation. Post Reply
View Profile History	Just Friends Posted : 8 Jun, 2015 08:26 PM You asked the question: when we put friendship what are we looking for? Well it either means just friends and men should not read into it and take the gals at face value ie what they said ! Or, if the profile contradicts the friends thing well maybe they see things as christians should. Courtship that begins with friendship. Frequent dating is not how a christian should go about this kinda thing. A christian should only date because they have already determined that the other person is husband or wife material possible. If you dont want an answer like I gave, plz clarify what your thoughts so we can better answer. Thnx! Gods grace to you! Post Reply
View Profile History	Just Friends Posted : 8 Jun, 2015 08:34 PM Sorry for the confusion. I just know that not everyone will marry and I do not want to lead any one on. I feel that even if one does not marry one can have good friends to talk to and do things with and there be nothing more than that no physical stuff going on. I guess I should not say I would never get married, but I don't see that happening. And if the other person isn't willing to be just friends than that is not a person I want to hang around wtih. If "just friends" happens to be someone who changes my mind I will deal with that at that point. I think that there should be another box then "truly only looking for platonic friends" vs "friends that lead to dating/courtship." Post Reply
View Profile History	Just Friends Posted : 11 Jun, 2015 05:21 PM Arent friends platonic? Personally, its a slippery slope with just one guy and one gal hanging out. Unless your deeply rooted in Christ; you are deceiving yourself. You could be walking into satans snare. Just look for guy friends. Or hang out in groups of mixed company. Id advise against finding a friend that is female unless you had the understanding that it will always be in company of others. We are called to keep each other accountable. . For some friendly fellowship online there are the chat rooms. May the Lord bless you and his will be done in your life.:angel: Post Reply
