Please explain Love
Posted: 8/9/2009 11:05:38 PM
The question here was,"what is Love"?There are four kinds of "love" ..... They are AGAPE, PHILEO, STORGE, and EROS.(google it). If you have read the bible and do believe in God......The scripture that I gave before on this forum page comes straight from 1st Cor. 13. ,(You can Google it.)The bible does explain God is Love...(you can Google that also)..in many scriptures. If your a Christian(which is means to be Christ Like) and a believer, you would understand. There are different types of "love" I just gave the bibles definition and what is a "true love". Love is suppose to be unconditional. The Bible says in James 1:5" If any of you lack wisdom let him ask of God who gives it liberally, and upbraideth not ,and it shall be given unto him."
I find that MANY people are athiest UNTIL they are on their death bed or about to die. I definetly believe there is a God and do believe in the bible its DOES work if you put it to use and take the time to read it. I have placed my trust in the Lord he has healed me of cancer twice and my liver that was failing also years ago. I don't put my FAITH in doctors they have told me several times your going to die. It did not happen God interviened, healed me with No treatments or medications because I trust him. God's real and so is his power.There are several Greek words for "love" that are regularly referred to in Christian circles.

Agape: In the New Testament, agape is charitable, selfless, altruistic, and unconditional. It is parental love, seen as creating goodness in the world; it is the way God is seen to love humanity, and it is seen as the kind of love that Christians aspire to have for one another.
Phileo: Also used in the New Testament, phileo is a human response to something that is found to be delightful. Also known as "brotherly love."
Two other words for love in the Greek language, eros (sexual love) and storge (child-to-parent love), were never used in the New Testament.....................................................anyway enough said.
have a great day! Julie

God is "love"...and if we accept God then love develops in our spirit.........
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast; it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things............this is a "true love".
YES we are to love others as God says .


Love never fails.................................................................................Julie

When do you ask the girl out?
Posted: 7/1/2009 11:17:24 PM
If your really interested after knowing basically what the person is like and I would definetly talk with them on the phone. I can tell quite a bit by talking with someone what they are about ,looking for online, their past, etc..If a person is desiring the same type of relationship that you are and that should be the start then ...talk. Then if she says lets meet, then go for it don't hesitate! If you wait too long and shes a good woman she will be gone pretty quick! Those who hesitate.......loose out! Also women like to be pursued....its just fact ask ANY woman!

Found my guy on Hot or Not - not good
Posted: 8/30/2008 1:57:27 PM
I know what you mean. I was in a relationship and he told me he had many profiles old ones online but he lost the passwords to them so he could not shut them down he said. It really did not bother me much but over the past year he chatted with several women online. I tried my hardest to trust him and I even told him it bothered me but he would say I'm sorry then just continue doing what he liked and that was checking women out online and chatting. It can be the start of him cheating is what I have found out to be true. I had two serious relationships the past 5 years, men I met online. Both of them ended by them checking out other women online. I won't put up with that kind of garbage no one should. Some men can not be happy with just one lady that have to continue to keep looking for someone else. I do know God will send me the right man for me someday one who will be a one woman ,man and one I can trust to be faithful. THERE ARE GOOD MEN OUT THERE! Don't give up hope! I do know of several good men that would love to have one woman. Did you know that 80 percent of women now do not want to marry? That does not suprise me, so many have been burned in the past is what I find out when I speak to women. There are men that truely can love you with all their heart and be faithful so move on if you think he is going to cheat on you, your worth far better than that girl! Have faith that God is going to bring you a good man that will be honest , faithful and will love you like you deserve. Take things slower next time and know him at least a year before you THINK about even getting married. You can also tell a lot about a man from talking to his family, expecially their Mothers I have found. GOOD LUCK TO YOU! and remenber there have been half a million people find a true love right here on this site so don't give up!.....

How aggressive should a guy be?
Posted: 8/1/2008 9:08:04 PM
OK listen up...all women love to be chased. If she ditches you for like a week then I would say then she is avoiding you but MOST women play hard to get. Decent WOMEN that is! If a woman is chasing YOU then chances are SHE is chasing more MEN than JUST YOU! I have never needed to chase any man, and I WON'T. I love for a man to call and come by or ask if he can come over, I like cards and flowers and the simple little ways he can show he has been thinking about you and he cares.
Now if she says HIT THE ROAD and leave me the **** alone jerk then you better step back. Just my thoughts here, Julie

Snooping Allowed If You Have Reasons?
Posted: 10/7/2007 2:08:26 PM
I agree with you, I was dating a man and found out he has been writting about 5 women that I KNOW of online. He says he is just wanting to make Christian friends...but funny how they all are pretty women........I found out by looking into his computer and checking out history....yeah I snooped , but I did because he does spend quit a bit of time onlne...I told him if he does not stop checking out other women "We are done"....so do you think if you are serious about someone and they say they want to marry you but they check out other womens profiles online ,,,,IS THIS OK?.......please write and let me know what everyone thinks.....Julie

Have you, yourself ever dated someone that you met online ?
Posted: 1/31/2007 10:12:37 PM
SURE HAVE!...I have met I think about a dozen men from online. Two, I dated ...the others ,we met and talked and there wasen't any chemistry. Some I have kept in touch with and share funny emails or interesting things that we find online. Online dating is much better than going to a bar or club I never met any man at a club that interested me. I go to have a few beers, dance , laugh and have fun usually with my sister and we always go home together. Clubs aren't my thing anyway. I would rather find a man that doesn't drink or drinks VERY little. I have met men and women that have been scammed by people online that prey on their loneliness and I think it so sad. I turn every scammer I run across into yahoo. If you find a scammer working thru a website then tell that website. Anyway....there are good people to meet you just have to be selective......I HAVE heard many great stories of people that meet and get married and are VERY happy! I will only talk with and meet a man that lives under 3 hours away because I don't think long distance relationship work out very well. Unfortunatly there are very few men in my area that I find attractive. But you never know who you will run into!
Good Luck to you all!.....

First date: when the picture in the profile look nothing like the person in person.
Posted: 1/31/2007 9:48:04 PM
well some people have said on here that looks aren't that important to me......WELL IF YOU SAW A PIC IN THEIR PROFILE THAT REALLY FLIPPED YOUR TRIGGER THEN YOU MET THEM AND THEY LOOK NOTHING LIKE THAT... YOU WOULD FEEL THEY HAVE LIED, RIGHT?...so why would you even want that person as a friend?...unless you don't mind having liars as friends. no thanks !....one man about two yrs ago had a nice pic on his profile I invested two months into talking to him. Finally he felt quilty and told me the pic wasen't even him he took it off someone else's profile. He then emailed me a pic of a man that was NOT good looking and about 60 yrs old, YUK!..Needless to say I said SEE YA!...you only KNOW who u are really talking to online if YOU GET A CAM!.....then there is NO surprises. After that man did me that way I always have anyone I am going to meet get a cam, borrow a cam or buy one....and let me see WHO I am actually going to meet.
Have anyone of you heard the story of the guy that was 20 yrs old that was writing to a girl that had a GREAT pic she said she lived in Florida?......he went to meet her...a man opened the door...said he was her brother and she would be right down from upstairs in just a few minutes so have a seat.....he sat down the man attacked him killed him and drove his car around for DAYS!...that is how the cops found this guy he was obviously crazy!...so be careful everyone online. The best and safest thing to do is see the person on cam and talk with them on the phone if you get strange vibes just move on.I have met good people online but we all should be safe with how we go about it. Meet in a public place the first time it's always safer that way... have a good one...Julie

FOUND THIS TO BE TRUE MOST OF THE TIME!...everyone should be careful online and before u invest time on getting to know someone have them go get a cam. That way you know WHO u are talking to................JUST GET A CAM!, that's the best addvice I can give to you. Cams cost 20 bucks if they won't show you on cam what they look like then they probably are hiding something..................and women should ALWAYS see who they are meeting it much safer. Women use galmour shots all the time online in their profiles and men are SOOO dissapointed when they meet them ( men have told me this online). I have taken all my own pics and what u see is what you get..of course I have a cam also. Hey good luck to all of you on finding what and who you are looking for on the website............Julie

Why are older women not into younger guys???
Posted: 1/24/2007 11:30:13 PM
well Bomber...have been asked out by many young men,but I just can't if they are my sons age. Most are just wanting sex anyway. In fact most men that I date are younger than I am because men MY age look awful! Good luck to you and if you are attracted to older women you will find one eventually if you keep looking................and most women like this banana guy... ...and WHY do u think THAT is?lol.

What do YOU do to keep the fire burning in a long-term relationship?
Posted: 1/24/2007 11:14:54 PM
be spontanious.....a man told me a long time ago. When your married you fall in love with your spouse over and over again. I found this to be true. I have been married twice. My first drank TOO much and I had to leave him and my second husband was very controlling.I'm single now and really like it. Be happy with yourself and if you find someone to spend time with then GREAT. BUT... I found out that you can keep your love life exciting when you are spontanious............... Once I yelled at my husband from the window while he was mowing the yard, "Come here I need to ask you something!"...I was in the bedroom in a sexy outfit... he just ripped his clothes off and attacked me. You just have to spice things up sometimes. Catch him off gard.... and when he least expects it....or ask him to go see a movie with you then on the way home stop off somewhere and have sex right in your vehicle. Just doing it in bed ...over and over is boring. If it gets mundane then it's because you let it become that way. ....Julie

Living together before marriage a bad idea?
Posted: 1/24/2007 10:36:06 PM
I believe every couple should live together before marriage. It would save many from having to go thru a divorice. I have had two and they were expensive and AWFUL!...I have told both my kids they should live with anyone that they believe they will marry I have seen so many couple marry...move in together then one is a slob an the other is doing all the cleaning then they start fighting! You don't really KNOW a person till you live with them 24/7...they may have habits that you just can't stand. Those little things get on your nerves day after day. Now if you love this person and can live with those lil habits and accept them and be happy then GREAT!....but it sures saves a LOT of money and time if you live with the person first...before marriage. It takes about 25 bucks to get married and at least a thousand to get divoriced. Been there done that!...... don't ya just love that banana guy! .....Julie
