What does “cute, wealthy and likes bigger girls” have to do with the values required to raise a family? What you need is faithful Catholic, faithful friend, faithful partner, will work hard to support you (wealthy or not), puts Gods and then your needs before his own and loves childeren.Hey all,
As some of you know, I was dating a man who was a non-practicing Catholic (he considered himself non-Denomentional). Well, last night we broke up. It was the first time I ever broke up with somebody (normally they reject me). Most of my friends think I did a very stupid thing. One of them said “he’s cute, wealthy, and likes bigger girls, and you gave that up?!” I know he was too good for me, but I knew we couldn’t work long term, he has a lot of anger toward the Catholic church in general.But I still feel at peace somewhat (I mean, we were talking about getting married, and I’m DESPERATE to get married) about it (I’m not drinking I swear), just listening to Brad Paisley (minus the sappy songs), and petting my cats. I guess I wanted to air it out to people who wouldn’t think I was a complete moron.
Leagues are stoopid. Sometimes people can’t find a mate because their league is rated so highly by others. Then they’re doomed to stick with whomever comes along.Heh. You sound like my sister. I told her once that this guy from my church was out of my league, and she reacted like I had just said I smoked crack. Good advice here, lady!
CS~Hey all,

Agreed on the humor part…we missed you!Welcome back, pretty lady. :hug1: There was a certain humor component missing from the singles club for a while.Don’t listen to your friends on this…wait for that special Catholic man and you will make an awesome Catholic wife.
I went out with one my new friends (not one who has made any negative remarks, unless offering to TP his house is negative). She offered to set me up with some of her male friends, but I think I will take a break from dating for a little bit. Unless a mix of Brad Paisley, James Marsden, and Elliott Yamin falls from Heaven. I think I have a type: short brunette singers. 
Kitties are very good at judging character. Sounds like you made the right decision.But one my cats did scratch him.
Er, I wouldn’t diss CS’s taste. Obviously, she knows that this guy wasn’t good for her, or she wouldn’t have broken up with him. But all the above are also important. Cute: ummm, if she doesn’t think she’s cute, she has no business taking up the time of a man she is not attracted to. Likes bigger girls: if a guy doesn’t like the way a girl looks, he won’t be caught dead with her, so the question is moot. Wealthy: this doesn’t mean CS means he drives a Ferrari. Wealth is sooo crazy relative. It may just mean he has the basics covered and some extra cash to play with on the weekends. It may mean she gets to go shopping on his dime. Heck, my own health is such that I may be bowing to time honored tradition myself and marrying for money. (Although if we are TOO poor, I absolutely refuse to make any children. If he thinks he can have my body, my service, AND get kids out of the deal while having a cruddy bank account balance, he’s got another think coming). Good job, CS; find yourself a cute, wealthy dude who appreciates you, and also happens to be favorable toward Catholicism.
It will make you feel good.

I’m the one who has tons of guy friends (I think I have more guys than girls in my phone). I’ve come to peace with that. 
Not to hard to impress me. I’m not the greatest looking person, so I can’t expect to date a hearthrob. I’m not rich, so I can’t expect to date Bill Gates shudders But I’m Catholic, so I can expect to date a Catholic man, right? Or else I’ll have to resort to plan B (tranq gun, rope, pickup truck, nearest church, and a priest who will perform a marriage on a passed out man). Oh, ok dear. I think we’re in more agreement than I thought, then.
Yeah, you could lasso a man, but he would still be able to talk. And you can’t have him interrupting the wedding ceremony. Tranq gun, and then hog tie the guy! I gotta brush up of those skills. Now where are my cats so I can practice? cats look from under bed
I think that may be grounds for annullment later…
True~ My cat HATED my ex…never let him anywhere near me with out trying to interrupt! Should have taken the hint…Kitties are very good at judging character. Sounds like you made the right decision.
Very true. If he shouted something like “I object” during the wedding ceremony, that could unsettle the priest. They’re a little neurotic about technicalities like “consent”, I hear.Yeah, you could lasso a man, but he would still be able to talk. And you can’t have him interrupting the wedding ceremony.

Hear, hear!CS! :tsktsk: Please…don’t go down the self deprication road again. You don’t need a tranquilizer gun, or a lasso…and he needs way more than a pulse. (I know you’re kidding, but still…) You are lovable…you will find the right man, and you don’t have to settle. Remember this. Don’t let this bump in the road unnerve you. I say this out of love, I hope ya know.
)But as a “bigger girl” I’m not seen as attractive. I get told all the time that I have a pretty face, if I were thinner, I’d have to beat the guys off with a stick.
Hear, hear!
I say it out of observation, not love (sorry, I’m not there with you yet-give me a couple more hours
Remember my first response? He likes “bigger” girls? That actually bugged me for a bit this week. Remember that “size” is irrelevant! He should like you because your YOU.
