Mature Singles Intro Thread

[PassionateOne]

There's always hope, but a week after she told me she wanted the divorce, she was dating a guy that she swore was just friends and had nohing to do with her decision. I think she believes that, but I know it's not true.

I'm still praying, but everyone around me, inluding people praying and hoping for reconciliation, tells me to move on. Don't obstruct anything, let everything progress, but pray and hope that she sees you differently n 6mos to a year (it takes a year i my state for no-fault.) My psychiatrist even told me to start dating -- can you believe that? I'm not sure what to think. I still love her, but I've got to let her go. God can change anyone's heart, and I'm praying for work in both of our hearts.

awwww, AFT.......I'm sorry!

BUT......a new 'adventure' for you, welcome to the "singles forum" it's fun!!!

Hi passionateone! So, when's the CF Singles Mixer?

Hi passionateone! So, when's the CF Singles Mixer?

ha, ha!

Actually, AFT, I was in your situation 3 years ago....sooooo bummed my marriage didn't work out and 'I' tried so hard to keep it together, but the ex had different plans.

So, 3 years later, I 'stumbled'upon CF forum......God must've had this 'site' in mind (just to chat with other Christians and I couldn't believe how many members there are!!)
Anyways, I was posting and having fun in the "singles section" and 'crossed paths' with my bf. So, trust me, when I say this might be a 'new adventure' for you........there's a "singles flirting thread".

 

[AirForceTeacher]

Ma cherie, je veux te flirtez beaucoup!

Ok ... Before you throw me out, I know I'm not a single person. But, I was single until I turned 45, and have been married now for 4 years.

I am on the other side of where many of you probably want to be .... the married side. I know how it is to live alone and be trusting on the Lord to help and encourage me every day. He is so very faithful!!

I just want you all to feel free to ask me anything ... and if I can be of any help at all, that will be great!!

God Bless!!

Welcome to CF and this forum specifically.
So as a musician what do you play or do you sing or do you compose?

Hello and thanks for the welcome!

I play guitar, piano, bass, and percussion (not the drum kit but congas, bongos, rhumba shakers). Guitar and piano are the main ones though.

My singing is passable (in key) but I don't do it often. I compose and record and my focus is mainly on instrumental music.

Cool.

Okay, so why is bass in regard to music
pronounced like third base rather than like bass the fish?

I've always wanted to know that.

I've often wondered that as well. Hee hee but I think it is funny. I think a bass guitar shaped like a fish would be hilarious!
