Feeling sad for my sis, where are all the Catholic guys?

[LittleDeb]

Our best man from our wedding fasts and prays for his future wife with the E5 men. (based on the scripture Ephesians 5) He is 22 and busy with college. During school he knows that now is not the time for a wife to come along. But during school breaks, he gets to thinking about it again.

He is a devout Catholic. I pray for his future wife too. Hey, she is going to have to go through a lot for all of us to agree that she is the one for him. I sometimes wish that I could interview some women for him.

I am all for people playing matchmaker. My husband and I met because he expressed interest in me to a mutual friend. The thing he remembers most from what she said to him, “Oh Debbie? She is very Catholic.” Well DH is now very Catholic too!

Just had to add to the bunches of depressed threads on this subject.

My little sis is feeling sad. She feels a strong calling to motherhood and the marrital vocation, but there just don’t seem to be any nice guys even worth knowing let alone dating.

We both belonged to a homeschool group, but none of the guys were prepared for a courtship or eventual marriage. (Nice, but pretty immature).

She has lots of offers to date, but the guys are all non-Catholic or have various lifestyles that aren’t safe or good. And the worst part is they are willing to raise up to her level (such as swearing off drinking, partying and sex) but not as a true lifestyle change leading to marriage, rather the indefinite dating game, just to have a partner.

I just feel sad for her and wish I could do something! She is very uninterested in avemaria or catholicsingles. Prayers for her, please!

I’m sorry–I know what that’s like. Not many conservative good Catholic guys out there!

While at work the guys are constantly encouraging you to “just find a girl” and do you know what with her …

Then I guess, yes.

At times, it pretty much has been a tough life.

Hasikelee, your sister is not alone. How old is she? (hope I didnt miss that somewhere amongst these posts) I go out to nice restaurants, bars, functions etc. Whilst most of the guys I meet are really nice and quite handsome, the first thing they try and do is see how far they can get Well I dont find them so handsome anymore and I actually turn into quite a mean person

I watch the struggles of my sons and feel so sad.

My youngest met his future wife at church and I think she was looking for a man who went regularly.

I have two other sons who haven’t been as lucky

No, no, you do not have an outdated idea. Dancing and partying is great.

I am talking about what appears to be normal nowadays. Normal meaning my coworkers call off work because they had to go to the hospital to get their stomachs pumped. Normal meaning sleeping with three girls in one night. Normal meaning mixing different drugs with alcohol.

For example, there is not one person at her work who is not engaging in premarital, casual sex with multiple people, getting drunk to the point of unconsciousness, partying late into the night to the point of missing work/school, taking or trying various drugs especially weed and generally living a really messed up life because they don’t know any better.

I guess when you were my age life was fun. Nowadays it just seems dark and unhappy.

Ok, please don’t jump on me, but that’s not true for everyone. I’m in college, I do not hang out with Catholics, but I do have a lot of friends, and that’s not exactly typical behavior. Yes, there are people who do behave in that manner, but it’s not everyone.

Sing, you are certainly right and I didn’t mean to generalize. It is just an overall feeling I have from going to my hometown college and working at my company.

Everyone wants to sleep around with everyone. They have parties and get drunk regularly.

The craziest thing is most of these people are a bit older than me and already through college or in grad school. It seems the young adult segment is even worse than the teen/college student segment.

Think “friends” episodes on speed…
