In my humble opinion, I enjoy all kinds of music (except hip-hop and rap)!!! I especially enjoy classic rock...Boston, etc. and if you listen to Kansas' lyrics, they are proufoundly spiritual.
I like to chill to all of it....I don't personally see anything wrong with it.
I write songs and play the guitar, and many are secular. Does that make me a "bad" child of God? I don't think so :-)
I agree with the other responses to this question. How can you possibly romantically love someone whom you don't even know? Sounds like lust to me......although I admit I have heard stories of people locking eyes across a crowded room and "knowing" that person is their life-mate.
We can love everyone, though, just not in a romantic way. I am talking about the pure love that Jesus shows everyone and the love that we are supposed to show to each other.
Doesn't Jesus teach that there is always hope? If Jesus said it, IT IS TRUE, and I believe it!
We make mistakes and hopefully we learn from them; we learn more about ourselves and other people, and we move on a little wiser :-)
My advice is this: Let this all happen in God's time. Don't push for it (trust me), and believe that God will give you the desires of your heart according to His will and in His time.
Another thing to consider: Do you ever pray for the guy God wants to put in your life? For instance, pray for his health, his emotional well-being, his spiritual well-being...things you would pray for if this man was actually manifested in your life right now.
Sometimes God is working in us and we are not where we need to be in order to be with that other person, or He is working in them and healing pain and bringing them to a place where they will be a solid partner. In other words, maybe God is getting you both ready and won't bring this to fruition until you are both where He wants you to be.
Do not give up. I have been through feeling the same things you are, but you can't use the words, "HOPE" and "DEFEAT" as synonymous :-)

Would you mind being a little more specific? Is there a particular situation you are asking about? This is a pretty broad question.......I can go there, but I tend to write novels instead of short answers LOL :-)
OK I am probably going out on a limb here, and I need to be VERY clear that I am *ONLY* speaking for myself....everyone has their own opinion.
For me, personally, if I know a guy and he wears his baseball cap backwards it isn't a big issue BUT for a profile pic to make a first impression, I just instantly think "immature." I know...it isn't fair or right to judge...and it is prejucicial.
Why do guys write very little in their ABOUT ME section and then wonder why women are not interested in them?

Hi SweetSurprise,
I know this is in the "Ask A Guy" section, but I just had to throw in my two cent's worth!
I have asked that same question a hundred times.....if a guy emails me (not saying much about himself) and I check out his profile and it says, "If you want to know, just ask me" it makes it a little difficult to know if I really want to get to know him or not LOL!
My profile is way too long, but I would prefer that a guy knows something about me and if we have anything in common BEFORE we correspond.
The most idiotic advice I have ever been given ( in reference to dating) came from a male friend of mine, who told me that women are like cars and a man needs to "test drive" them first to see if he wants to "buy it."
Basically he told me that my belief of waiting til marriage is far outdated and dumb, and that the Bible doesn't discount premarital "relations." (I guess we are reading from different Bibles)
