Christian guys: What can a female do that is the equivalent...?

First, christian is not another way of saying asexual or even nice.  Look at catholic priests.\n\nWhy not give them the same things?  I'd skip the stuffed animals though.

Turn your life over to God.  If you seek him and put Him in the center of your life, God can turn you into a man first among men.

Try to think outside the box.  Special dinners, special places - all of those will eventually fade into memory unless you do something that just isn't done by the average guy.  You see this all the time in "chick flicks" --- you can hire a Barber shop Quartet to go to her place of work and sing her a song about how you love her; you can hire an actor to ride a horse over to her house and sing her a song while playing a guitar; you can hire a billboard and have it posted; you can send it to her in a telegram; you can do these kinds of waaaay outside the box kinds of things. You can do it in quieter ways, as well - like sending her a Gardenia floating in a brandy snifter with a note in a sealed tube in the bottom of the glass......or have a bunch of Daffodils delivered with a Celtic Lover's ring tied to the stems.....things like that.  I had a guy tramp it into the snow outside my window once.  (Pretty cool, actually - see ?  I remember it, too!  After 25 years!)

No christian man should treat a woman of any riligion with disrespect and that is what he's doing to you. He's disrespecting you by trying to control your actions and not treating you like an individual. Look, there will be plenty of other guys you'll come across that are fifty times sweeter, kinder, and gentler than this guy. I think your best course of action is to just move on.\n\nGood luck!

Yes,and ladies its partly our fault also.But we can set a new standard.Stop trying to be men.Stop dressing provocatively.Stop selling ourselves short.Stop giving our bodies as toys.Hold on to our purity,until marriage.Don't fall in to adultery.Live by the Godly characters the Bible teaches.Expect more from our daughters.Teach our sons to respect women.Teach our sons Godly character.Instill qualities in our sons that you would expect our daughters to seek in men and vise versa.Live these things to Your best, our children learn by example!

well, I am not married...yet! I am a Christian, and God has definately blessed me. I never seemed to date the right kind of guy, until one day I let my heart get broken. It was then that I gave up being impatient, and gave God total control of my relationships. I wasnt even looking for a relatioonship, seeing how I just had my heart broke. I was online one day, and this random guy instant messaged me, and wanted to talk to me about God. He had seen on my profile that I was a Christian, and was hurting from a broken marriage and needed somenone to talk to that would give him Godly advice. At the moment I put my love life into Gods hands, is the very moment he opened up a new door and showed me the light that lead me out of darkness. Brandon was the guys name, and we started out by being friends and talking about God. He is unlike and other guy I have ever dated, and he is the answer to my life long prayer. I had almost given up on guys altogether, until Brandon walked into my life. He treats me with respect, honor, and loves me for me and the beautiful creation God made me. Although we are not married yet, I am basically waiting for him to propose. I thank God everyday for the gift he has brought into my life; I could never have imagined it would feel this wonderful to be loved.

I like what has been said.  The whole point of being a Christian (past the salvation part) is to become like Christ.  How do you do this??  Good suggestions have been given, and here are some more:\n-get into the Word every day.  God is going to talk to you through the ultimate "user manual".  \n-Get plugged into a Bible based church.  Get involved!!!  \n-Be open to letting the Spirit help you in life with making choices and reaching out to others.\n-Memorize Scripture- that helps write His Word on your heart, and you will pull that out of your memory when you least expect to.\n-Clean up your "house" bit by bit.  If you wear clothes that are making guys think unholy thoughts, make the choice and wear something else.  If you have a potty mouth, bite your tongue.  We ALL have things that we are working on.  Others will see this change in you, and see how Christ is changing you.  \n-praise God all throughout the day, this helps focus on what He has made good.\n\nI have been praying for you already!

Hey J, well I’ve been reading over some of u'r past?’s. I can see that you are trying to gain some order in u'r life. I can start by telling you this.... and believe me it works; there are no special tricks or gimmicks to this. This is not only subject to weight loss but relationship building with Christ also. We already know with out Jesus being 1st there is no foundation to the plans that we make or the things that we want. So start off by seeking meaning to... do whatever possible to know him to find out about him weather it be reading his word, going to church, fasting and praying to get his attention its just like if you were to meet someone you liked you do all that it is to get their attention you might say nice words you might sing them a song, you would require from someone who knows them(word of God)....well what do they(Jesus) like? So you do/give the things they want and like. So it's up to you to find out what are the things (read)..... you just don’t start a relationship you get their attention 1st. what I’m saying if you don’t understand now if u were to step to me and say "lets start a relationship" I would say” boy you don’t even know me" So what you would do; is get to know me. What would be the type of thing you would do to really get to know who I am? \n\nIn seeking to know him and developing a relationship all of your other questions will be answered. I will leave you with this one.......\n\nMat 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you(all your hearts desires)\n\nand some more added\n\nSometimes we wonder why we struggle soooo hard we start off with a good start we have every intention to finish whatever it is but we loose momentum and power because we do things in our own strength/power instead of just asking for his help (this is what he likes; us seeking him in every way) seeking him because we can't do it or we can but he can do it better.\nI will give you this example in weight loss because I struggle from time to time in this area.\nYou can have all the right formulas 5sets of this and 5sets of that exercise not eating this and eating that and the other. If you don’t follow what’s on paper because you don’t have the will to keep it up what’s the point like I said before we start off with the right intentions but we struggle because we left the most important person out Jesus\n\nI really hope this helps :~)

Seems to me if women simply knew their place as God intended this debate would be mute. Certainly this calls for a revival of teaching the true Word of God to bring things back into line with His command....... women should not sin this way and all of them will be smoted down for these transgressions or my name isn't Christian philosopher, Ohn Thuy Long \n\nThank you Ms Truthz and I can't wait to see what you have made me for dinner in the kitchen..'n I hope you got the laundry done cause I need a fresh shirt for Sunday services whilst you are cooking...mmm mmm that turkey smells like it was cooked by an angel from heaven...let anyone be eternally condemned if they don't smell that heaven is cookin' up somethin' good for ya....peeeewww wheeeee!\n\nwOrd

Here are a few ideas to ponder:\n\n1. God gave you sexual desires to help in your future marriage and ultimately to glorify Him. The desires aren't bad, but pointed in the wrong direction, as thoughts often are, they become sinful.\n\n2. Treat these desires like the habit of over-eating. The right kind of food is good in moderation, but when you binge or constantly crave food, it becomes your drug or even your god respectively.\n\n3. Think of the particular females who are currently the object of your lust as people who need your unselfish, godly love. Ask yourself what their greatest needs are, and minister to them. I wish I had done the same when I was in your stage in life (not long ago).\n\n4. Since the problem is bigger than you are, don't keep it a total secret. Confide in God and in a friend or two you can trust, who will hold you accountable.\n\n5. Don't just stop thinking about girls and sexual stuff. Replace these thoughts with godly thoughts. Carry around a stack of memory verses, for example.\n\n6. You're already so far ahead of most Christian men your age because even to strangers in this forum, you can express the problem honestly. Way to go, brother!

I agree with your statement.\n\nHow can women follow a religion that treats them like objects, servants and unequals.. for those that don't believe, check out these bible quotes -\n\nhttp://www.ethicalatheist.com/docs/bible_female.html

In reference to what Jewel said: Actually it DOES have something to do with the Religion. If you're not a religious person then there is no point in you trying to figure it out. So don't speak on something when you have NO IDEA what you're talking about.  Guys try to hit on females who they know are Christians that are saving theirself until marriage. That's the way it's always been for more than one reason...one because it comes to them as a challenge because they know that is a very hard bond to break and for two because they know Christian girls are good girls and they want to try in succeed at 'making them bad'. I think three is because they know it will be safe to sleep with them because they know they haven't ever slept with anyone else and they could possibly do it unprotected without catching anything. And four, they know that the p*ssy will be tight. Excuse my language. But whatever you do, DON'T GIVE IN! It's worth the wait!!!

actually.\nits VERY RECOMMENDED and probably a MUST to have both male and female of a married couple being God-fearing Christians.\n\nbecause, in that way, both would have more of God's grace and fervour.\nand that they can pull each other to be even more on fire with God. \nand it would be very hard for either side to backslide.\nmany advantages of having a both christian couple\n\nif any Christian girl says that, but looks more into the looks , money, stature, then God wouldnt really look upon the couple with favour.\n\nand that girl isnt really a 'on fire' type of Christian.\nnot that i'm saying i am.. but after all, its not for US to judge , but for God to judge.\n\nand yes im a girl, and i havent even gotten  my first boyfriend yet, but if i ever have a non-christian bf, it wont last, cos i wont let it last.\nwith my little faith, i believe that God will be pleased if even i break up a stead relationship with a nonchristian guy :D

First of Amen and God bless that you have been able to stand strong and faithful. I think it is awesome that you have not given your self so easily like most woman or men have done.. I can't say I can relate. So hang in there I know God has a special man in plan for you. =)
