What You Would Not Want In Someone You Are Dating

[Knight of the Holy Rosary]

I would not want a girlfriend that is staunchly opposed to the teachings of the Church (obviously).

One thing that really turns me off is a girl with no class. I have met girls that are drop dead gorgeous, but are gross and crude.

It's like Archbishop Fulton J Sheen used to say:

"Women were created to civilize men!"

[scardella]

I wouldn't date anyone who didn't dance. It may be shallow, but it would drive me up the wall not to be able to share that part of myself w/ someone. It would totally stink at the wedding.

I wouldn't date anyone who I can't have a good conversation with. (That's much more selective than it sounds. I'm not a conversationalist.)

I wouldn't date anyone who wouldn't agree to raise children Catholic. I don't have problems with her being non-Catholic, but I'm not going to have non-Catholic kids. I wouldn't date anyone who would have problems with me explicitly being Catholic (it's rather hard to avoid).

I wouldn't date someone who hates JPII, GK Chesterton, Tolkien or small children.

[Mercy me]

I would not want to date someone who is not looking for a spouse. It is a waste of time.

I don't want someone hung up on their own issues.
I don't want someone weak in faith.
I don't want someone who is irresponsible.
I don't want someone who is untrustworthy.

I am sure that there are more things but I can't think of them right now.

[catholimaniac]

I wouldn't want her to not be my wife.

[franciscanheart]

I wouldn't deal well with someone who is irresonsible and unreliable.

[mariahLVzJP2]

i would not date someone that:

is prideful and arrogant
has bad manners
dislikes/criticizes Catholicism
is mean
isn't confident
drinks and smokes
dresses emo (hehe, just kidding)

[franciscanheart]

i wouldn't deal well with someone who always had their interests first in mind.

Think that eliminates 99.99% of women out there - Is it any wonder I'm still single?

I was not Catholic when I met my husband. It was his prayers and encouragement that caused me to convert and fall in love with the Catholic Faith.

I am glad he never had that stipulation.

Thank you for your interjection.

1) Someone who doesn't share my religious core values

2) Dishonest in any way

3) A promiscuous silly sally

4) A self-righteous hypocrite

5) Self-centered or materialistic

6) Insecure, neurotic, clingy, or manipulative

7) Arrogant or domineering

No, you're just meeting the wrong ones.

I haven't seen:

Person who has overwhelming halitosis, uncontrollable sweating, or hates food. Those would be big turn offs...

[littleflower+JMJ]

What you would NOT want in someone you are dating?


For it to NOT to be the wrong person that God had wanted me to be with, to have them not be following God's will in their lives, whoever or whatever that may be.


gosh did i say that right? all these nots are really messing me up and its late lol

[KnightofChrist]

Girls that dont know photoshop, I would just be way to super smart from them... it just wouldnt be right...

But really... Smoking, Drinking... are not something I like...

[Paddington]

Someone who isn't passionate about Truth and isn't a lover of life.

Someone who doesn't like football (for Americans, I mean soccer).

Someone who denies their humanity.

Can't be a Sophist, they're so annoying.

Honestly, I get annoyed with the hand-raising praise and worship type...sorry.

Uptight guys, rad-trads, ultra libs....

Wears overalls (and I agree with Mariah ^ guys who wear sports sandals...they're so ugly).

I wouldn't want to date someone.. that is... a guy.

[Proud2BCatholic139]

I wouldn't want to date someone who:

Smokes cigarettes...a cigar is ok once in a while, like once a month, but that's what I would allow

One that drinks in moderation, but I prefer a non drinker the most.

Will not help me get to Heaven.

Who doesn't support me with my dreams, goals, and ambitions.

One who doesn't have a steady job or goals for the future...

One who doesn't believe in himself

One who parties with drinking

One who 'sleeps' around and is known as a 'player'

I can go on and on, but I am not worried about these qualities, because I have met my dream guy.
