Look at your signature and you will know all. 
η αληθεια ελευθερωσει υμας
(As for you desire to find the person to marry and skip the search by mistakes, I feel your pain. I hate dating too, so I can relate. In fact, it depends what one names as such. I very much enjoy an inerlocutor nice to talk to and nice to look at and nice to have a coffee with, as well as like dancing, for instance. What I don’t like is the match-making kind of dating where it’s supposed to be obvious that one’s seeing like 5 different people and having a romantic affair with every single one of them. I consider that situation to be inherently disordered, as is the whole dating scheme. I just want to meet someone somewhere and be surprised. By God preferably, not by myself, which I’ll never cease to do, I’m afraid. You have my sympathies and my prayers.)

Oh, you quoted it before I replaced it with proper font, hehe. I no longer do, but I did a couple of years ago for a short time. Transliterations are messy and one will never agree on the correct way of doing it.

Yea lol. I am in my second semester of classical greek, and not that i know it, i will see a greek mythological name transliterated in something i am reading, and be like, ‘But what is it really?’ lol. I am a classics major. I know more latin than greek.Oh, you quoted it before I replaced it with proper font, hehe. I no longer do, but I did a couple of years ago for a short time.

“Congnoscetis veritatem et veritas liberabit vos,” doesn’t require any transliterations, but you wanted to be geekier than that, so I had to follow. 
I could have written this in Latin, but I didn’t want to come across as a dolt.

I agreed. One time I knew someone in this situation, but at that time I didn’t know how to explain to the person. I learn quite few things from this forum.

that sounds good.“Congnoscetis veritatem et veritas liberabit vos,” doesn’t require any transliterations, but you wanted to be geekier than that, so I had to follow.
using an old and little used word like ‘dolt’ might sound geeky though, speaking of geeky…
lol

Well, I was a geeky boy until not so long ago and now I’m fully a-dolt.

Don’t worry. I edited that post several times. I finally decided to add that part… and now it looks like it was the right decision. Good on you. The process of learning to do things the way that’s right instead of the way that works, and going on like this, never stops. Right at this moment, I don’t care if it works. I care if it’s right. If it’s right and God wills so, it will work. If it’s wrong, it isn’t worth anything, so it doesn’t matter if it works. If it’s right but God doesn’t will, it won’t happen anyway. My understanding of what’s right is by no means guaranteed, but I’d rather stick to my perception of what’s right than to my perception of what’s efficient, both being flawed. I guess you feel the same way.
For some people dating works, actually, and I know some for whom match-making, online dating, online match-making and whatever else such, has worked. To each his own. I’m not saying it’s wrong for them. I just don’t buy it and in many cases, I believe it’s wrong indeed, and wrong rather than just wrong. Apart from being a flawed concept. What I think of flawed concepts you know without any declarations of my part being needed, I trust, so let’s finish here.
Good luck to you. Time to go to church for mass and afterwards renew my commitment of not caring for the ways of the world. I’ll remember you.
