    A man being attracted to heroism in women: Godly, or ungodly?

    "Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends." -John 15:13, New International Version This verse is more or less the subject of my inquiry, and from complementarians and egalitarians alike, I'd like some counsel. Recently, I've realized that before I am ready to...

    (Soul Searching) Realizing what I look for in a Godly woman

    OK, I've posted here before venting about what I look for in an SO. I'm on Twitter--not X--a lot, and the kind of woman I see being hyped up in Christian circles a lot is feminine, soft, delicate (physically), wants lots of kids, is a good cook, and complementarian. But what my heart craves, as...

    Regret of being a late bloomer and older singleness

    I don't mean this to be a downer post; I'm much happier today than I've been for years due to coming back to my Christian faith. However, I thought maybe other single Christians might be able to offer good advice. I've never dated when I was younger due to shyness and some body image issues. I...

    How to deal with (romantic) loneliness as a Christian?

    OK, so I've posted here about finding a church to go to, and struggling with being a Christian man who isn't that crazy about femininity. In a previous post, (So, I finally found a church. How it's going so far), I vented that one of the sins I struggle the most with is lust. And that lust is...

    I want to date and marry, but I'm an "effeminate" Christian man. What do I do?

    I'm an egalitarian Christian. Non-denominational, although I may join Grace Communion International. And as the title of the post implies, I'm the kind of Christian man that complementarian pastors on Twitter (I refuse to call that site X) complain about--unmasculine. No, I don't have long hair...

    Is it me?

    I meet a lot of men on dating sites. Things are good initially but then it gets ruined. Usually the guy wants to start having sex and then it ends. Sometimes though things get weird. The guy I was speaking to has been divorced a few times. I don’t usually date divorced men because that’s...

    How to have patience while waiting for a possible proposal?

    A couple months ago I told my boyfriend I wanted to marry him, and... we haven't really had any talks that would count as "deliberately moving us closer to marriage." But I mean, it's only been 9 months of dating, and I had told him before that I wanted to wait a year before getting married...

    Physical Affection in Dating

    I know the age old question of "how far is too far" isn't the question to be asking, but rather more like, "how can I honor God in this relationship?" And I tell you what, I am STRUGGLING. My boyfriend and I don't even kiss because it's too much of a temptation. Which is fine, but I get stuck on...

    Seeking Dating Advice: Are We Unequally Yoked?

    I've been with my boyfriend for about three months now. We're both in our early 20s and are sincerely on the same page about so many important values and goals. He is kind, considerate, and genuinely listens to me. Nevertheless, I wonder if I agreed to be in a relationship with him sooner than I...

    Constant anxiety in dating

    I'm constantly worried about flaws and imperfections in my boyfriend of 2 months. Every week I have something new to obsess over. "What about this thing, what about that?" I'm bouncing around his different issues--many of which he's willing to talk about and make changes on, especially the...

    Struggling with same sex attraction

    Hello, I've battled SSA for about 14 years now. I've never had a girlfriend, never kissed a girl, but it's an attraction that I've been aware of for a long time. Sometimes it's barely a passing thought, but lately I've been acutely aware of the issue. I feel as though I have to police my brain...

    Obsessing about dating

    So I met this guy recently. I'm usually pretty good at reading people and determining pretty fast if a guy is someone I'd want to date or not. And when I first met this guy, I had a couple small red flags. But he wanted to hang out so I decided to give him a chance. We ended up going on a date...
