I’m a Catholic guy who is 24 years old and lives in Michigan. Looking for a Catholic girl.

I love praying to God and helping my friends and family because I care about them and love them so much from my heart.

I’m looking for a Catholic girl as friends. Looking to find love and start off as friends. But I am single been single for my whole life and I don’t do online dating. Does anyone have any advice on where I can find or meet Catholic girls? I have no interest in online dating. I’m just starting off as friends.

I’m not in a rush to find love, and I’m going to wait patiently. But I am starting off as friends, but are there any good places to meet Catholics like singles or. I am just a bit worried about my work schedule if I do a group, so a group maybe out of the question. I go for Mass every Sunday, but my parish has no young adults group. Any suggestions please let me know.

How do I know if someone is Catholic? How can I recognize someone who is Catholic.

Thanks

Why do you object to online dating?

I’m a Catholic girl who met her Catholic boyfriend online, and we couldn’t be happier together. We started off as friends, as you describe hoping to do, though admittedly as friends who both were hoping to find a partner, and several months in defined the relationship as dating.

If online is completely out, volunteering with local charities or church groups is an option. If you have a local university, see what their Newman Center offers for events.

If you’re online, their profile may state their religion. If offline, you ask, or notice them displaying something Catholic like a rosary on their person or property.

As for determining if they are practicing, believing Catholics, ask questions. Do they go to Mass on Sundays? Do they go to daily Mass? Do they believe in the true presence of Christ in the Eucharist? How would they describe who God is? Do they believe contraception is sinful? Do they believe the Church has authority to interpret the Scriptures? Do they pray daily?
 

Aside from this, speak to the Young Adult Ministry office at your Diocese. Find out where local or regional groups meet.

Maybe God is calling you to begin a Young Adult ministry at your parish (don’t make it “singles only” because your married peers have single friends/siblings). Theology on Tap is a great program.
 
If you are planning to start off as friends with the intent of getting into a relationship and are looking and looking I think it might be a little hard to find. You can know if someone is Catholic by asking. I know you said you are being patient and want to be patient, but if I were you I would just breathe. It will happen when and how He planned it to. I met my now boyfriend when I wasn’t planning on it, when I volunteering over the summer. We were only able to go on one date during my week off in July and then didn’t see each other in person until October. You’ll find your person when you are both ready to be found. God will make sure of it!

This seems like a fun question. What are outward signs? This is not a fool-proof list or needed criteria for being Catholic, but noticing the following things could be a clue:

Has ashes on ash Wednesday
Wearing a miraculous medal, scapular or other saint medals
Does the sign of the cross in any context
Rosary hanging from their rearview mirror
Perhaps a bumber sticker on her car.
Orders a gross fish sandwich on a Friday at an establishment that offers not-gross food. (I don’t hate fish sandwiches, but they aren’t all created equal)
Carries a bible in her purse that is recognizably a Catholic translation. (Not suggesting purse snooping)
Awesome Marian tattoos

A test that could yield results: shout “peace be with you” into a crowd of women and watch how they react.

I don’t have any interest in online dating. Just feel a bit risky and distracting. I volunteer at the airport helping passengers.

Thanks
 
If I ask them if they are Catholic, what if they want a reason.
 
I don’t have any interest in online dating. Just a bit distracting and don’t want to take the risk with online dating. I go for Mass on Sundays, or Saturdays. I do pray very often a lot.

I am actually looking for friends (as girls) first and see how it goes. My mom always tells me to start off as friends and she and I have talks about this. I’m happy for myself and not looking to rush it. I’m going to wait patiently, always open to friends. Not rushing to find love.

Are there any prayers that could help, please let me know. I read the Bible often. Any particular place in the bible I should read?

Thanks in advance.

Sample answer:

“I enjoy finding common ground with people. I personally find being Catholic super rewarding.”

You could also find out if they’re Catholic a roundabout way. People are likely to mention their religious beliefs if you say something like:

“Have you ever been to Mass at the Cathedral down the street? It has amazing artwork!”
“What do you think about Pope Fracisis’ recent statement XYZ?”
“Would you say you’re more religious, spiritual, or neither?”
“Do you believe in prayer?”
“Have you ever heard the story of [insert favorite Catholic miracle----Marian apparition, Bible story, saint story, ghost story etc. ]? I was reading about it the other day, it’s pretty cool.”
 
I am a single Catholic woman, if you would like to be friends. Feel free to Pm me.

As for online dating, for some people it works. There are also for those that do not seem to work. So it depends.
