for what it’s worth, regardless of the relationship, good or bad, you usually learn something…and while it’s not impossible she would decide to embrace Catholicism, it’s not something she should do just to be with you…she would have to come around, study the faith and learn why we believe as we do…and then perhaps embrace it. that is not something to take lightly or expect to happen in a short time-frame. wanting to date someone who isn’t Catholic is a hard road if you are committed to your faith, and it more than not, turns to heartache…of course we aren’t always logical when it comes to these matters so i won’t say spare yourself the heartache but rather be prepared that it may not turn out your way, and dont’ beat yourself up after the fact, but learn from it. good luck!

I appreciate you “just saying”. 🙂

No problem.

By the way, I wonder what exactly “nifty” means to you.

Not to hijack my own thread, but I only spend lots of time with/around/talking to nifty women.

I hope that’s not too vague… 😉

Just kidding: I’m 32.

Okay. I thought maybe you were younger…like early 20’s. Nothing you have said indicated that,😛 just speculated myself. lol I guess as a 32 yr old, looking for someone near your age (I’m assuming she is near your age?) finding someone divorced can grow to be more and more common, as you age, and remain single.

Anyways…there are plenty ‘nifty’ fish in the sea. If a relationship starts off with MAJOR doubts in the beginning, it’s best to just not let it progress to where serious feelings begin. Whether it be religious or otherwise, if you are having serious doubts about starting a relationship with someone–that’s probably that little voice inside of you telling you–this isn’t the one. I wish you luck, though.
 
I also wonder how many women from CAF you’ve sent a dozen red roses to…

I’m sure glad you’re setting your sights on Catholic ladies now.

How lucky that Catholic lady will be.

Gee, thanks! 😊

Yeah, I decided that what I need is an old-fashioned “Church Girl.” Finding one that can dig a newbie like me – that would make me the lucky one, I think.

Would you travel to the ends of the earth to find her/be with her?

(or at least halfway across the country)
 
Dante —

A date won’t kill ya – or send ya to hell for that matter. Methodist or not. LOL

(quiz her about her faith if you would, I would like to understand what the deal is. Report back. LOL)

I think the point is: IF you get serious then you’ll have to make a choice: but until then – man have FUN!

I married an agnostic, the son of two atheists. Guess who’s now a Catholic? And guess what else? I didn’t pressure him to be Catholic, he came to it of his own sound mind and being. Maybe I am lucky and maybe I am just a vessel for God’s infectiousness - however here we are, happy as ever.

Now let’s look at at the possible future everyone is warning you against: she may not ever convert to Catholicism. I say this with all respect: you seem like the kind of man who means what he says and says what he means. So if you ended up marrying the fabulous-Methodist, she would have to promise to raise your children Catholic. Now as an internet savvy mom-and-wife I have answered many questions from AWESOME protestant women who did the very same: promised to raise their kids Catholic. Yet – their husband’s, cradle catholic’s wont answer the questions they NEED answered to feel secure, or honest in their promise. So I have explained things before (i.e. Mary, Saints, core-beliefs, cathechism, heck even infant-baptism!) for women who have made a promise, intend to keep it AND their own faith, but need answers. You already know your core-stuff, and you are intelligent enough to answer fair questions from a lady who MIGHT marry into our faith. Yo are smart enough to know if your lady would be the kind who keeps her promise. I can tell already!

That is getting ahead of it all though:
My only advice for now is: HAVE FUN! Date. If she makes your heart quicken – there is a reason.

In the future: if things get serious, you’ll have to lay down your FAITH and your needs accordingly. Make a choice then. Both of you.

AGAIN: until then, have fun!!!
 
Ummmmm, sounds like he’s decided against the non-Catholic and is maybe drawn more towards a nice Catholic woman. Just guessing.
