CatholicAndFanatical Posted October 17, 2003 Posted October 17, 2003 Ok, I have a question for all my fellow Catholics out heya, and others that want to participate too. What do you think of someone finding another person to date at Mass? I dunno, I cant see it. What brought me to this is I went on a date with this woman last week and she said that she meets most of the guys she dates from Church..and im like..from Church?? I can see it now the Priest - "Behold the Lamb of God..", and here I am instead of concentrating on Jesus im looking over at this woman "Heeeyyy babah!!" *wink wink* eh, I just dont see it. But what do you think about that? How does someone meet someone at Church unless at Mass? K, God Bless
VeraMaria Posted October 17, 2003 Posted October 17, 2003 My parish has lots of catholic single's get-togethers and fellowship things for young adults, university students, high school students... I guess that's a way to meet someone "at church"
Dave Posted October 17, 2003 Posted October 17, 2003 I believe you have to be friends before something more can develop. So I'd say it's fine to keep your eyes open for potential date material at Mass, but first you have to be friends. But you don't have to meet them at Mass. A lot of parishes have young adult groups. Some even have inter-parish adult groups.
Lil Red Posted October 17, 2003 Posted October 17, 2003 I can see it now the Priest - "Behold the Lamb of God..", and here I am instead of concentrating on Jesus im looking over at this woman "Heeeyyy babah!!" *wink wink* Joey from Friends "How you doin?"
CatholicAndFanatical Posted October 17, 2003 Author Posted October 17, 2003 LMAO I was gonna say that too, but wasnt sure it would come across right..lol
CatholicAndFanatical Posted October 17, 2003 Author Posted October 17, 2003 when I do that I got my head moving side to side and I break out my Massachusits (sp?) sounding voice and raise my eye brows "How you doin" fahgedaboudit
CatholicAndFanatical Posted October 17, 2003 Author Posted October 17, 2003 I know about the Catholic Singles thing..we have one here too. Im not sure I would want to go to one. I dunno..social fobia?? dont get me wrong, I dont have problems finding dates..i have problems finding a date that loves the Church as much as I do, and loves to attend, talk about, teach and listen to things about the Church. All the ones I find are immoral, non catholics that only want two things.. ok, plus im picky k, i suddenly became uncomfortable with this subject, sorry for bringing it up..
littleflower+JMJ Posted October 17, 2003 Posted October 17, 2003 pray to st. raphael the archangel, his the patron of singles. :)
hyperdulia again Posted October 17, 2003 Posted October 17, 2003 he's the patron of happy meetings:wub:... pray to st anthony also, it's not his specialty, bbut he's one of the top five interecessors.
geetarplayer Posted October 18, 2003 Posted October 18, 2003 The only problem would be exactly what you said: Instead of concentrating on the Mass, you concentrate on the person you're dating/going to date. -Mark
Norseman82 Posted October 18, 2003 Posted October 18, 2003 The only problem would be exactly what you said: Instead of concentrating on the Mass, you concentrate on the person you're dating/going to date. -Mark True. But read the next post I write.....
Norseman82 Posted October 18, 2003 Posted October 18, 2003 (edited) i have problems finding a date that loves the Church as much as I do, and loves to attend, talk about, teach and listen to things about the Church. All the ones I find are immoral, non catholics that only want two things.. ok, plus im picky That is EXACTLY why people should start socializing with the people at church!! I mean, you are not going to find a Lexus in a Yugo dealership (then again, I've plunked down cash for my Lexus and am still waiting for the delivery, so to speak). I join the chorus: we don't want immoral pagans.....we want good Catholics...and if we have to be virgins on our wedding night, we want our spouses to be as well....is it too much to ask for a decent Catholic spouse???? (although some think it IS too much to ask) Edited October 18, 2003 by Norseman82
geetarplayer Posted October 18, 2003 Posted October 18, 2003 (although some think it IS too much to ask) Yeah, like the immoral people we aren't dating! -Mark
immaculata Posted October 18, 2003 Posted October 18, 2003 After Mass is a great place to meet people.. Freshman year, I started going to daily Mass before school, and I'd see the same two brothers come in every day. We started saying "hi" after Mass, and one of them would walk me to my first hour class.. Now we're best friends and they're wonderful Catholics who have deeply influenced my faith!
foundsheep Posted October 18, 2003 Posted October 18, 2003 Every person is lonely at one time another. You just happen to see someone at mass and hey youve scored a date. But it aint cool if you go to mass like its some kinda pickup joint. "Hey sister,you come here often?" :D ;)
littleflower+JMJ Posted October 18, 2003 Posted October 18, 2003 http://www.envoymagazine.com/topten/ 10. May I offer you a light for that votive candle? 9. Hi there. My buddy and I were wondering if you would settle a dispute we're having. Do you think the word should be pronounced HOMEschooling, or homeSCHOOLing? 8. Sorry, but I couldn't help but noticing how cute you look in that ankle-length, shapeless, plaid jumper. 7. What's a nice girl like you doing at a First Saturday Rosary Cenacle like this? 6. You don't like the culture of death either? Wow! We have so much in common! 5. Let's get out of here. I know a much cozier little Catholic bookstore downtown. 4. I bet I can guess your confirmation name. 3. You've got stunning scapular-brown eyes. 2. Did you feel what I felt when we reached into the holy water font at the same time? 1. Confess here often? :D :D :D :D

(although some think it IS too much to ask) One of our youth group kids wasn't allowed to attend a chasity progam because his mom didn't want him to take it too seriously. :angry:
Norseman82 Posted October 19, 2003 Posted October 19, 2003 Yeah, like the immoral people we aren't dating! -Mark Unfortunately, I'm referring to some orthodox Catholics :(

Yeah, that should be the subject of another thread....why do parents send their kids to Catholic churches and schools and complain when the kids actually take what they learn to heart?? But I guess this isn't a purely recent problem.
