A test to find out if the man you're with, or will be with loves you: it is of God for a man to love - so try to get a read on whether or not your man's heart is Godward or not. A simple question like - How would you feel if you knew God is real? That should do. If the answer is negative don't waste your time - move on.

I don't have a man to love or not love me, so...

I love you goofy

Awwwwwwwwwwwww.

WTF??? Are you sure you don't want to edit this so that it might be understood more easily? As well, you are assuming that is "the standard".... again, WTF?????

what does god have to do w/love??? people kill each other in the name of god...my mom soooo wanted me to date this guy from her church...he's in prison now for murdering his wife...way to pick 'em mom...yeah she doesn't get any razzing about that...lol

Agreed... WTF? it doesn't even make sense!

Yep this is a confusing one.. But if I do understand what he's saying.. My thought is "what if you're not religious or agnostic?" then a negative answer wouldn't even matter to the woman... Some posts are really off the wall... But I love the responses.. LOL

Although there is man on here who one day described his ideal of how man and woman were created to compliment each other and how a man's love should be in a godly relationship and he blew my socks off. I am not one to believe that a religion makes a man any more or less of a man. If a man is loving to himself meaning self-respect, self-consideration, self-assured and treats those around him with the utmost of respect and dignity then he is worthy of consideration.

cam someone explain to me what the heck derek is on about or on for that matter

Is the man I love like a dust bunny?

Thats as close as I get to thinking of god...the christian god anyways.

If god is an entity that threatens all sorts of scary stuff if you don't do it his way, then he must be the boogyan, and EVERYONE knows the boogyman lives under the bed...

And when I looked under my bed, there were dustbunnies, and dust bunnies are made up of the same stuff I am, and I am apparently made in gods image, and dustbunnies also have stuff in it, that is the same composition as the stars...and we are part of the Universe...so therefore god is a dustbunny.

So the man I love is a dustbunny?

Yep, clear as mud...thanks for that!

I've found that writing while smoking crack is never a good idea....

Yep, that would not be good for a recovering addicted person, glad you have discovered that!

Ah, sheesh guys. The OP is sharing his world view. His advice probably works for a woman who shares that same world view.

At least he is not trying to shove it down our throat.

I certainly agree that real love has a spiritual component, even if it is all just chemical stew going on in your brain. I'm way to pragmatic to look for love solely in a spiritual realm. SOMEBODY has to get the garbage to the curb and the kids to school on time.

Wow, I need to change my nic to Threadkiller.

Um, yeah, okay.

Shouldn't your heart know if someone really loves you? Do you have to test them? What if you have different deities?

I agree with you Michelle, but it is not always easy.

???
Maybe if I had someone to love I would understand
