We are trying to get one million rosaries said for the end of abortion between today and Sunday. Please consider saying one a day through then.
 
Wow this thread has a lot of views! Not a lot of posts, but obviously people are looking.

Okay so I’m not posting for myself but for my brother. I don’t think he would be mad about this:D. He is having trouble finding a devout Catholic girl. He lives in a liberal area and seems to have dated a lot of the Catholic girls in the area but nothing seems to have worked out. I think his biggest problem is that the pool of Catholic girls is too small. Girls seem to really like him its just that their not practicing Catholics or Catholic at all. I think hes got to look outside of the area. This is probably the issue with most Catholics who are posting on here. So I was thinking if anyone had any advice or was interested to PM me and I would pass the info on to him.

Anyways, the good thing about posting for someone else is that you can get away with being more direct and descriptive. So here goes… He’s 30, educated, has a good career, intellectually curious, introverted but good with people, in good shape, likes outdoor things, KofC. He’s a pretty normal all american guy. He has gone through the discernment process and has discerned marriage. So I thought I would help him out a bit.😉
 
I’m 27, and can’t get a date to save my life!

(I could maybe, but lately I don’t feel the pull)

I haven’t felt any tug of love, marriage, or infatuation these days, although I don’t want to die alone.

Yet, I see my friends every day, on Facebook, getting engaged and married.

I just want to be happy :confused:

Good luck with CM. I was on it for a bit. I know several married couples who met on it.

I also met a lot of girls on it who are just looking for “nice guys” and aren’t any more “Catholic” than those you’d meet in a dance club at 3 am.

Thank you. Yeah, I kind of figured I would see some girls like that before I joined up. I try not to be judgemental about it if sombody says they do not agree with all the church teachings on their profile. I would have to atleast talk to them about it. People grow at different rates. I just want to give the site a try. Too soon to tell right now.

Hrmm…I’d wait for awhile to bring it up if they agree to go on a date with you, to be frank. A lot of them are very sensitive about those issues such as contraception and holy orders.

Blessed are the ones who can patiently and openly discuss them without a persecution complex (can you tell I’ve been there before?).

There’s a lot on there who have their minds firmly set, and actually don’t respond to guys who agree to all the teachings.
 
I’m 25 and still very single.

Born and raised in the church in a good christian Midwestern community. I attend mass at least 3 times a week and server various ministries.

I don’t know what my vocation is and I still haven’t figured out what God is calling me to do with my life.

In summation, I don’t know what the hell I want.

Ite in pace,
Joshua C.

Me too!

I have a vocation prayer I found in an old missal that I’ve been praying recently. I ought to reprint it here.

Hmmm. I will keep that in mind. Thank you. The girl I am talking to right now does agree with all the Church teachings so atleast I dodged a bullet on the first try.
 
I’m 22 and a very annoyed single from the Far East.
Born Catholic but raised as a hodgepodge.
Came back to the Catholic Church after some odd experiences.
Never married (Because no woman on earth would even try to understand how my complexities work, accept the proposal to marry me for most would probably see that as an affront to them!)
I’m short by Western standards and yet tall for Far Eastern standards.
Ferocious in battles and yet gentle when off the battlefield
Is a gamer and big fan of anime
Want more? Ask and ye shall receive. 😃

There’s no such thing as “dodging a bullet” in dating.

You barely know this person, and EVERYONE (even you), has some sort of emotional baggage or issue. It’s part of what makes us unique and makes us compassionate and understanding.

Don’t look at everyone the same way as if you had a checklist.
There are also a lot of girls who act like they’re holding a clipboard and pen when they’re dating. I’d rather be single than date someone who’s looking for “perfection” and has illogical criteria.

Definitely. I have a couple vocations prayers that I pray fairly regularly. It wasn’t until recently that I started looking into the priesthood.

I have dated a handful of girls but for one reason or another they just didn’t work out. After the last one I had to wonder if I had been forcing something that isn’t meant to be. So now I am just taking things slow and keeping my mind open to any possibility that God may call me to.

Admittedly, I hope that calling is to a beautiful catholic gal 😉

When I said that I dodged a bullet, that was my attempt at humor. Maybe I should have put a 😛 or somthing. I appreciate you wishing me luck and sharing afew words about your experience with CM with me but I really dont need a mentor to tell me about dating and emotional baggage. I am aware, I am not a teenager. Thank you again. 🙂

You need to relax, dude.

It’s dating advice; don’t write about dating if you can’t take comments.
