Aren’t you under 30?Come to houston and i will set you up with some nice older men. I seem to have a good group of 35+ never married devot catholic men. I would date them myelf but i am in that “friend but not the girl-friend” category. Sigh whats a single girl to do??
It’s difficult no matter what age you are.
Yep i am in my late twenties (28) but for some reason i tend to collect the 35+ bachelors. My friends call me the “old soul”. I may be younger but i tend to feel like i am in my mid 30’s instead of 20’s. Hence why i get along better with older men and know quite a few who are single and never married.
I have no idea, but if you find out, could you let me know?? Younger than 30 is ok too!!!
If they were like-able enough to be married, wouldn’t they already be?
.They are out there Sierrah…Chivalry is not dead.If you find them let me know where they are. I know a few but they aren’t interested in me…they’ve made that clear…I’m only attractive to players, non commitment types and jerks therefore since I’m well over 35 but not quite 40 I’ve decided to call it a day and give in. If some guy wants me he’s going to have to be pretty proactive or put in some work I’m just sick of the whole dating thing. I can take myself out on dates …without having to deal with the attitude, drama and emotional junk. As much as I would like a family and all that I want to keep my sanity too. The guys I constantly run into drive me up the wall with their selfish behavior. What ever happened to a guy chasing a gal or at least putting in some effort. I guess I’m just 40 years behind the times in my thinking.
what, may I ask, are the reasons that the Catholic guys told you they are not interested?Older men make great husbands, too, beckers! I was 22 when I married my 32 year old husband…and we are still going strong. Well, there were bumps along the way, but we emerged stronger…and I think the nice thing about dating a man older…(not more than 15 years) is they are more mature…well, hopefully. lolYep i am in my late twenties (28) but for some reason i tend to collect the 35+ bachelors.

Sometimes i wish i could beat them over the heads when they make comments like when their discribing their future wives and makes comments “well kind of like you beckers” and I am like “Hello I am a women too. What am I some form of pond scum and am not dateable to you?” Sigh

So, why not fix some of these issues?
That is not necessarily the case. If you are a practicing Catholic and want a compatible practicing Catholic spouse, it is not as easy as it used to be; one is between a rock and a hard place, between the moral state of society today and that stupid “single vocation” nonsense being shoved down people’s throats and taking many prospective spouses “out of the market”.
Fixed it for you.
Do you mean it’s difficult dating no matter what age you are? I agree with that. I was talking about just existing in your twenties. I think it’s difficult to find others living a chaste and moral life in their twenties, moreso than in your thirties and forties. I have a lot of my relatives kids really not doing well in their twenties - the temptation to live the crazy lifestyle mixed with the newness of a first job and apartment, mixed with peer pressure, mixed with still trying to figure out where you’re going and who you’re becoming… I wouldn’t want to be doing that now.
I agree. Not everyone who is single is necessarily called to the single vocation or to celibacy. Some are single, and don’t necessarily want to be simply because they feel it in their hearts that they were meant for the sacrament of marriage, whether prospects are in sight or not. People should not shove the “single vocation” down someone’s throat who does not feel like they are called to be single even though they are circumstantially so. It begins to painfully resemble this new idea among some evangelicals of our day that if you desire marriage but are single and don’t wish to be single, you must embrace your singleness as a gift because desiring marriage is supposedly “wrong.”
THANK YOU… Thank You so much for bring this up. I am one of those people who believes after discernment that i am not called to the reglious life and instead am called to marriage.I think there is a difference between being a okay with being single and feeling that is your calling. See i am happy and okay with being single but it is not the stage i want to be in forever.I can keep myself busy and involved and be self-sufficent but its not the life i feel called too.
