No Deal. I've got a local line here. Why go somewhere else?

This thread is so fun! Thanks for the idea, John O.!
Your welcome. But I just stole it from a closed thread. Dakotasunbeam is the real topic starter
quote:
DOND: You don't like the church they go to.
Deal. Since we'd be attending church together she'd probably be changing churches anyway. Depending of course on where God told us to go.
DOND: They are called to a local ministry (banners, praise and worship, prison etc) that takes a lot of time and that you are not called to.

Deal: I just had this conversation with my bf this eve. He is very active as an assistant youth pastor...and is involved deeply with his ministry. He would like for me to join him in his ministry....that is not totally my call other than outreaches with kids and creative outlets with the kiddos. My heart is in leading Bible studies with adults & teens....or attending Bible studies and outreaches & witnessing....I know it dissappointed him a tad that my heart lies else where...yet we are mature enough to know that we have to go where God leads...and if I were to be by his side and I was not called into this ministry...it would not annointed and I may run dry as my heart craves to learn & grow in different ares. I will totally support him as well as he will support me....we are in it for the same purpose...just in different locations!
DOND: They are parents to multiple children that keep them busy. You see them working hard at work, in the home & serving at church and know that your relationship is a huge sacrafice for your possible mate (ie: time wise) and they are not able to give the time & attention you desire, yet the qualities you see are all Godly & positive....would you be patient or would that be a deal breaker?

This is a hard one, do you mean would I wait til their children are raised before I could be married to them?
Deal they sound busy doing good things and putting their children first shows me they are worth waiting for.
Deal or no deal: You have always wanted a huge wedding and they absolutely never wanted much more than to elope?

No deal. I want more children of my own and at my age I can't really wait a number of years until their kids are grown. Besides that I'm likely to find that once they get the kids out of the house they are not interested in having more and then I've just wasted years for nothing.

Deal. This is easy as I'm a guy. The wedding belongs to the bride. She gets what she wants (within reason and within budget)
DOND: They play on the church softball team, Unfortunately they are not athletically gifted, they just think they are.

Deal. I'm pretty busy myself, so it wouldn't bother me.

Deal! They're unique. Besides, they'd probably grow tired of the hue at some point and switch to another.

No deal. Let's have a little space.
Yea or Nay - every time you watch a movie, they ask questions the whole time because they can't follow the plot.

My .02 since last time  . . .
quote:
Take or Pass: You are a major night owl and they are a morning person Well first of all, I am most definitely NOT a night owl; majorly nor minorly. But as to the intent of the post, it would depend on how extreme both of us are with our preference. My ultimate preference would be that we both go to bed at the same time (regardless of the "when" of it), as I think it is vital to a healthy marriage. Mornings are a different story and waking up together does not carry the same importance for me as going to sleep together does.
And regarding the quote, I am definitely more of a morning person than a night owl.
However, there would be latitude in all of these preferences.
quote:
Yeah or Nay: His 'unnegotiable' is a the bathroom, and kitchen, decorated in Packer Green and Gold... Hmmm . . . regarding the colors only; I actually like green; it's one of my two most favorite colors (pink is the other one) (although I prefer silver over gold). Regarding the sports theme idea, I'm all for having a sports-decorated room or two . . . but I would prefer the kitchen and the bathroom not be the ones (well, maybe if there was a guest bathroom, that would be ok).
(Although rather than Packers' Green and Gold, perhaps Jayhawks' Red, Blue and Yellow would be a better choice . . .)
quote:
Open or Closed: They decorate in Coca Cola, and your a Pepsi fan, or vice versa. Well, I'm a fan of neither. But I won't use this thread to espouse the evils of soda.  But it wouldn't be a deal-breaker; the decoration can be part of the sports room.
quote:
DOND: They are incredibly nostalgic For the most part, deal; nostalgia can be sweet. It can also turn into very unhealthy moroseness; so it would depend on how the person behaves when being nostalgic.
quote:
DOND: While they are friendly to everyone, they have very few friends Well, first there is a difference between actual friends and friendly acquaintenances. Most people have fewer "real friends" and more friendly acquaintenances . . . which is absolutely fine and somewhat preferred with me.
quote:
Keep or Release: They have periods of time where they need to be alone to process a difficult emotion before they can talk about it with others. Keep; this can be very healthy (as long as such processing of emotions is being done with Our Lord).
quote:
DOND...Sometimes they are clueless.....(I had no idea DOND was brought back to life ) LOL! Clueless on the unnecessary things are fine.
quote:
Deal or No Deal- The prospective mate works in a profession where they have to work weekends and are also sometimes called into work unexpectedly or without much warning. Probably not; I've been self-employed for pretty much my entire adult life. By very deliberate and intentional choice, I rarely work evenings (and when I do, it's usually at some weird time like 1 or 2 in the morning). I also work mostly on an appointment basis. The weekends would be negotiable . . . as long as we could still have good quality time together - on a consistent and frequent basis. In my world, there is definitely much more to life than work. Some nights, some weekends and some unexpected work times are ok; but not as a general way of life.
quote:
DOND: They don't eat most vegetables This would be very difficult. (A) I absolutely LOVE veggies and (B) Veggies are necessary for truly good health; now and also long-term.
quote:
dond: They are very adamant about homeschooling! (You gave me an idea John!) I actually like homeschooling, but it's a moot point with me; and their adamancy (whether for or against) would only get as far as "in theory". N/A.
quote:
DOND: They shun all modern appliances, including dishwashers (not me!! just a question ) ROFLOL!!! While I don't shun all modern appliances, I most certainly do not use dishwashers. Still, it would be hard for me to live without a refrigerator, a washing machine, a juicer, my VitaMix Blender, my Rainbow or a coffee maker.
quote:
DOND: They have a consuming dream of becomming a professional athlete, even though they have slim to no chance at it. Hmmm . . . the professional athlete part - probably no deal; it's not how I envision my marriage to be.
Now . . . regarding "slim to no chance" . . . My question would be why? Is it because no effort is being put forth or is it simply just out of the realm of reality (regardless of the dream).
In both questions, I guess I would also ask WHY have a dream like that? It sounds somewhat oppressive and depressing to me. Dreams are supposed to propel us forward and keep our interests active and alive.
quote:
dond: They are a professional athlete! No deal.
Well, more important things are taking my attention now, so I'll resume later.

NO DEAL! It's only a matter of time . . .

Deal, I'd get use to them. I pretty much accept people for who they are, and I'm not one to get my feathers ruffled easily. Although I'm sure there'll be some times I'll just ask God for grace. 
Deal or No Deal: Thinks in stereotypes about most people.

Picking up where I left off last night . . .
quote:
Deal or no deal: They have teenage children Hmmm . . . not having raised any children, I think this would be a big adjustment. I would put a lot of prayer into this particular decision.
quote:
Take it or leave it . . . the person has a much higher "energy level" than you do. Energy's good!
quote:
Deal or no deal: You have completely different decorating styles We could designate specific rooms for each of us; afterall, it's his house, too.
quote:
DOND: They have different interests when it comes to hobbies. That's fine . . . I don't want to marry a mirror image of myself; variety is good.
quote:
Deal or no deal: They have pets that they are quite attached to. Pets are human too, ya know.
quote:
Deal or No Deal: If they are quite attached to their parents (something like a momma's boy/girl type). I'm not sure. Quite attached is actually ok; but if it was to the point where it interferred with out marriage, then, probably not.
quote:
DOND: They are very black and white. They see few shades of gray and have strongly held convictions (which are biblically correct) of what is right and what is wrong. While it's nice and even desirabe to have strongly held convictions, being able to see the various shades of grey is actually essential to being able to develop, explain and maintain their black and white convictions.
I used to be a very black and white person - in practically everything.
Now (as in currently in my life), the only thing in my life that is black and white is my belief in God and how HE is manifested through The Holy Trinity. Everything else is has bits of grey in it. For instance, politically, I am either a conservative liberal or a liberal conservative; depending on the specific topic.
quote:
DOND: They have different financial goals - one wants to save for elaborate vacations, the other wants to save for early retirement (and they don't have the means to do both). And here is a great example of a "grey area" . . . both financial goals have merit. I would want to have some serious prayer time and conversation with him to make the final decision of what to do with the money; but ultimately, it would fine.
quote:
DOND He/She is very close to to their siblings and nieces. He/she is okay moving out of state or anywhere he wants to live as long as he is willing to allow the nieces to come during the summer to spend a week or two..........AND is okay with other family members visiting occassionally over night. Based on the parameters given, sure.
quote:
Uh-huh or uh-uh: His/her idea of cleaning house is running the vacuum, using a feather duster on the furniture, and scrubbing bubbles in the shower and toilet- once a month or so.
Well, given the toxicity of scrubbing bubbles, that in itself would definitely need to change. And I actually prefer feather dusting over the various forms of poisons that are passed off as furniture polish. Although Murphy's Oil Soap is pretty good.
As to the once-a-month time frame, that's a bit "not enough" . . . but no big deal, I like vacuuming and I also like feather dusting - so I would do those chores. Admittedly though, cleaning the tub and shower is not one of my favorite activities.
quote:
Thumbs up or down: They want to relocate to a different state in a few years. Well, as Ruth said, "Whither thou goest . . ." However, I would prefer the state be a warm one and that we wouldn't be planted in the middle of a city with a population of million+.
quote:
He or she is a vegetarian but are a meat lover all the way. Balance is key . . . and veggies are essential.
quote:
Fish or cut bait: He/she is much younger than you are (10+ years). I have never been interested in men younger than me . . . but I don't mind being the one that is 10+ years younger.
quote:
DOND: Very handy around the hosue. Almost to a Red Green level. Is sure that they can make it work with what they've got around the house already. Will it look nice? And will it be safe?
quote:
DOND: He/she has the most annoying laugh you have ever heard, and you're a comedian. Laughter is good for the soul . . . and annoying can be overcome (in that the person who is annoyed can learn to change their attitude)
quote:
Deal or no deal: He or she is somewhat indecisive, and has trouble making up his or her mind about anything, whether it be what they are going to order off the menu at dinner, or what color to paint the living room, or what to wear to work. Hmmm . . . this might be a bit "too much" for me.
quote:
DOND: They have opposing tastes in housing. For instance, one likes charming older homes, and the other wants a new home with all the modern conveniences (considering the neighborhoods are equally safe) Not that big of a problem.
quote:
Green Light/Yellow Light/Red Light: They sometimes get into moods where they eat insane amounts of fruit, i.e. 5 bananas in a day, a whole pound of strawberries, 6 apples, etc. That's quite a bit of sugar to consume in one day. As long as I could also get him to drink a quart or so of veggie juice to combat the sugar . . . sure.
quote:
Ewwwwwwwwwwww or Awwwwwwwwww- He's got a collection of spiders, bugs, rocks, or something else that just DOESN'T impress you... I'm not much of a collector; and I'm actually quite a minimalist by preference. However, the rocks would be ok. I don't have to be impressed with his collections. However, the spiders or bugs or anything along those lines would not be conducive to the collection and me abiding in the same abode.
quote:
DOND: he's prettier than you are! Prettier??? I have never been interested in "pretty boys." There's a reason why God made man and woman different; and I actually prefer the differences remain intact.
quote:
DOND: they are somewhat disorganized, and like it that way. Hmmm . . . perhaps we could contain the visual disorganization to some place that I won't have to see. As to non-visual disorganization, if he wanted to stay that way, there may be a bit of a problem to resolve. I am extremely organized and I like it very much. (I even have friends who will ask me to put reminders for them on my calendar and then to call them on which ever date is requiring the reminder).
quote:
Deal or No Deal: Wants to move to Siberia for 5 years to commune with God. Well, send me a postcard or two.
OK . . . "Whither thou goest" . . . EXCEPT Siberia. 
quote:
DOND: You don't like the church they go to. Depends. What are my reasonings? Dogma / Doctrinal? Or just that I don't like Sister Sue or the purple paint on the walls? Some dogma can be overlooked; some is just plain unScriptural, and THAT would definitely be a deal breaker. Any selfish reasons on my part would be just that; selfish. Perhaps God is wanting to grow me out of that.
quote:
DOND: They are called to a local ministry (banners, praise and worship, prison etc) that takes a lot of time and that you are not called to. Called by whom? Our Lord; then definitely Deal. By peer pressure? Then, lots of conversation and prayer between him and me would be needed.
quote:
DOND: They are parents to multiple children that keep them busy. You see them working hard at work, in the home & serving at church and know that your relationship is a huge sacrafice for your possible mate (ie: time wise) and they are not able to give the time & attention you desire, yet the qualities you see are all Godly & positive....would you be patient or would that be a deal breaker? It's not really a matter of being patient or impatient; not everyone is called to this type of life, and knowing this ahead of time would be wise and even compassionate to everyone involved.
quote:
Deal or no deal: You have always wanted a huge wedding and they absolutely never wanted much more than to elope? I am personally neither extreme. (See, another grey area - LOL) I think this would require much prayer and conversation.
quote:
DOND: They play on the church softball team, Unfortunately they are not athletically gifted, they just think they are. LOL! Deal; good social interaction.
quote:
DOND: They travel all the time for their job and you hardly ever see them. Not my cup of tea.
quote:
Deal or No Deal: Only wears clothes of one color (green) and refuses to change.
While quirkly (and potentially a bit boring), that would be ok. I started to say the opposite but then I realized that I know people who wear nothing but jeans and blue jean shirts . . . kinda the same thing as the DOND question, just a different color . . . and y'all should see how much pink I have in my clothing!
quote:
Y or N: They are monotone but sing passionately at the top of their lungs. This isn't necessarily a question for me but for a specific someone, regarding me. 
quote:
Oh Yeah or Yeah, Right- S/He is really into movies that you don't agree with (dramas, horror flicks, etc) Hmmm . . . this would require a LOT of prayer . . . Phillippians tells us that what is pure or holy or lovely, to dwell on such things. Horror flicks and similar other type movies ARE NOT in line with Phillippians.
And there's a reason why Phillippians tells us this; it's a protection of our minds . . . and ultimately our entire selves; physical, emotional and spiritual.
quote:
Deal or No deal: He or she insist that you are into everything that they are. I'm going to want to share as much of his life as possible. I would hope that he would want to share as much of my life as possible. But, for the best possible relationship, the sharing needs to be done freely and not through any type of demanding.
quote:
Yea or Nay - every time you watch a movie, they ask questions the whole time because they can't follow the plot. Hmmm . . . questions are good and patience to the questions are equally good. The time spent together would be more important than the movie or it's plot.
quote:
Dance or Decline: His or her grammer makes you cringe. I'm just not sure about that one.
quote:
Home Run or Strike Out: S/He has a job that you just don't get. It's not that you don't like it- it's just that everytime it's explained to you, you recognize so few words that you zone out and start drooling... That's ok.
quote:
DOND: they are very kind to you; but you have witnessed their short fuse!! Depends. Was their short fuse because the waitress brought them the wrong number of pancakes or because someone just did a hit and run on them? Circumstances would dictate.
Having said that, it's never impressed me at all for a man to be kind to me and not to everyone else around him. In fact, the hypocrisy is blatant and not something I'd want in my life.
quote:
DOND: Is constantly joking around, even when it's time to be serious.
When it's time to be serious, it's time to be serious.
quote:
Deal or No Deal: Thinks in stereotypes about most people. To what extreme? I think everyone does sometimes; this even to a very small degree.
Sure; why not? -or- Well thanks, but no: Is hard of hearing and so unintentionally talks very loudly.

no deal. If I wanted to be alone I'd stay single.
quote:
Deal or No Deal: Only wears clothes of one color (green) and refuses to change.
Probably no deal. Inflexibility like that would make a very boring and contentious life.
quote:
Y or N: They are monotone but sing passionately at the top of their lungs.
Deal. Make a joyful NOISE unto the Lord.
quote:
Oh Yeah or Yeah, Right- S/He is really into movies that you don't agree with (dramas, horror flicks, etc)
Depends on content and frequency. If she wants to go see a horror flick from time to time that's fine as long as she doesn't make me go. Of course if the flick is rated "R" then I don't think any Christian should really be watching it (again depending) so we'd have to do case by case basis.
quote:
Deal or No deal: He or she insist that you are into everything that they are.
No deal. I will not do beading!!!! I just won't. (except with my Girl until I get remarried)
quote:
Yea or Nay - every time you watch a movie, they ask questions the whole time because they can't follow the plot.
Deal as long as they don't mind me rewinding it a lot.
quote:
Dance or Decline: His or her grammer makes you cringe.
No deal. I'm rather smart and I'd be constantly fighting the urge to correct them/teach them proper grammar.

Home Run or Strike Out: S/He has a job that you just don't get. It's not that you don't like it- it's just that everytime it's explained to you, you recognize so few words that you zone out and start drooling...
Deal. I prefer to not talk about work at home anyway. After spending 8-9 hours there a day I try to forget as much as I can when I clock out. So not talking about her work would also be OK. (Of course I'd listen to humor her if she needed to talk but there are some things that guys will never get)
quote:
DOND: they are very kind to you; but you have witnessed their short fuse!!
No deal. Living with a time bomb is not my idea of a good time.
quote:
DOND: Is constantly joking around, even when it's time to be serious.
Deal. Some people relate through humor (I'm partially that way).
quote:
Deal or No Deal: Thinks in stereotypes about most people.
No deal. I'm more of a quadraphonic sort of person.
quote:
Sure; why not? -or- Well thanks, but no: Is hard of hearing and so unintentionally talks very loudly.
Deal. You've just described most of my family. (Dad's hard of hearing so we all talk loud)
DOND: They only drive foreign cars. Will not even consider looking at an American made car.

probably no deal........I need someone who can be serious as well as take me serious sometimes.
quote:
DOND: they are very kind to you; but you have witnessed their short fuse!! At first I was going to shout NO DEAL.......but then I realized not everyone who has a short fuse is made up of the same material.........some fuses are attached to very dangerous material and when it blows it can be very damaging to those near by.......other short fuses may be attached to a smoke bomb....when they go off they produce a lot of smoke but no real harm.

Sure; why not? -or- Well thanks, but no: Is hard of hearing and so unintentionally talks very loudly. my sister has hearing problems so no big deal.

if they have supporting evidence which makes a very clear case why they drive foreign cars then maybe........if they only drive foreign cars because they have been told they are better and have not done any research on their own then no deal......
DOND: You are very proud to be american where they are always talking about how bad america is?

NO DEAL. To be truthful I'd never even date someone like that and if the first time I heard them ragging on my country was on our date that date would be instantly over.
DOND: They were deeply in love with their last romance and seem to want to recreate that same EXACT thing with you.

No Way! They can return to that relationship instead.
Yes or No: They talk with their mouth full...often.

quote:
DOND: They were deeply in love with their last romance and seem to want to recreate that same EXACT thing with you. This is a very blunt No Deal. Not only is the mentality of this idea not healthy for the person who is wanting this, it is extremely damaging to the relationship AND it is also very hurtful to the recipient. I have come to believe that a person who does this is really not ready for a new relationship.
YES -or- NO: They absolutely do not believe in pre-nups, background checks, etc. Instead, they maintain a philosophy of taking enough time to truly and deeply get to know each other, and also a philosophy of "If you want to know something, ask ME; I'll tell you the truth on the matter."
