Interesting… From what I remember from previous threads, you’re still single. Have you ever tried this? What was the priest’s reaction?

So, maybe you should be more forward and straight out politely ask your parish priest where you could meet some good compatible Catholic men for marriage. Who knows? Maybe there could be a compatible Catholic single male who could have just asked him the same question at a previous Mass.

He probably hasn’t met the right person yet. There’s more to it than just finding anyone single of the opposite sex. Sometimes it takes a while to find someone who will put up with you. 😛

DOH! I should have thought of that years ago!

But it some of the former associate pastors had hopes of me (re-)entering the seminary. But next time I have the opportunity, I’ll see what our newly-ordained associate pastor’s reaction is.

Hey, stop looking! I’m right here! Just kidding.

Yes, there really are guys who aren’t interested in the bar stuff either. The trick is finding them. They are not going to be hanging out in the obvious places, like the bars. They will be found doing the things they love and care about.

So, how DO you find them? You actively pursue the things that you are most passionate about, that’s how. You will inevitably attract men who are passionate about the same things you are. Real men like it when they can do things with their wives right beside them. You will be undeniably attractive to a man if you actively pursue an interest of yours that he shares.

There is no magic button that you can press to meet the right person. You will meet him by presenting yourself truthfully as who you are and waiting patiently for him to come along and notice you.

Awesome advice! 😃
 
I would highly recommend www.meetup.com

This is a site for anyone of any age and state of life.
There is no cost to go on the site. What this site does
is provide opportunities to gather with others who have
the same interests as you. They have 20 something groups,
30 something groups, bible study groups, hiking, knitting, etc.
Some groups cost a few dollars each time you get together.
If you go out to eat you pay for your own meal. Where I live
they have a group who go to the movie theater together and
then out for a meal. Everyone pays their own way. It is a
great way to meet people and over time you never know what
might happen but either way your doing something you enjoy
and meeting people with like interests. Let me know will you
if you try this route and how it went.
 
I won’t give any advice as I’m pretty useless at this but would like to follow :o
 
Why on earth do people dig up old threads just to post that they agree with something?
 
Meeting people to date seems to be luck based. Some have good luck and others, like me, have bad luck. If I was to take a class for baking and decorating cupcakes, only other guys would be in that class.
 
We’ve been in parishes where there is a 20’s group, or 30’s group, probably even a singles group.

If there isn’t one in your parish, you can always try and start one. Talk to the Pastor, make a plan, see what happens.

Ha! old thread, yeah, this happens from time to time, got me!

I didn’t realize how old this thread was, but hey! People still date and I’m sure this information is still useful and could help someone. 👍
 
Do you have any hospitality skills ?
We have just completed a holiday in Canada & Alaska ,
There are virtually Bus loads of single people from all over the world , ( mostly Australian)
Working in the tourism industry , they have a great social life together,
Worth thinking about ,

I have another “How to meet someone” question! I’m 23 and single. I really would like to meet some people my own age and maybe the man that could be my future husband. I don’t want to do the normal bar hopping thing alot of people my age do. I’m past that stage. I know some of you have used the online match sites but I am not financially able to pay for that. Any suggestions about this would be really appericated!!!

Thanks!

I’d suggest rather than looking for ways to date better to establish good relationships with people who have same interests as you. Meetup.com is a website where you can find activities that interest you in and around where you live. Say your interested in servicing the homeless they most likely have a group that meets once a week/month to do this as a group, or maybe a movie theater group, hiking group, or whatever. This way you will meet a variety of people (men and women; young and old) with the same interests as you. It is a great way to meet people and over time you never know what might develop.
