Ash Wednesday Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 Build a relationship with God first and foremost, and place your future in his hands. Unite your will fully with His, whatever that may be, because life is full of surprises both wonderful and absurd. This will bring you peace of mind -- there is nothing more aggrivating than agonizing over things that are out of your hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thy Geekdom Come Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 We're out there and I'm sure we have agents in your area. Keep a look out for men opening doors, looking down when women pass, and dressing respectfully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's nothing wrong with talking to, or even casually going out with a number of different guys (or girls) in order to get to know them, before jumping into a committed relationship. This is the only way to discern whether the person will be right for you. If you're "getting serious" on your first meeting or so, that's going way too fast, and you need to slow down. It seems that way too many girls now have this silly idea that even talking to someone of the opposite sex implies some serious relationship. Take it slow, get to know a number of different guys, and don't get all worried about whether any guy you talk to is going to be your future husband. At least this young man is being honest with you about his situation. And you're still young. You have time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fides_et_Ratio Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 Amen. My goal is to die young. Then no worries about getting married or being forced into a convent (and not by my parents). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds morbid, yes, I'm aware... but it's not a depressive sort of desire--Honest! So many things frustrate me it would just be much easier to die and live with God (hopefully... I try to go to Confession pretty often). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Wednesday Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 WCC, I understand your agitation -- Socrates, keep in mind girls will be girls and I think she's just openly expressing her frustration about the situation. I had a boyfriend and in hindsight I was a complete idiot. When we were just friends at the time, I thought he was just being stupid and overly shy or whatever. If I would have carried on with just going about my own business, I wouldn't have wasted my time and emotion on the matter. No, I forced it. Big mistake, he definitely wasn't Mr. Right! It's hard to do when you have a crush on someone, but just do your own thing, girl! :cheer: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philothea Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 I hear you on being frustrated and wanting to just live with God. Hey, it worked for St. Therese. Of course, she did have to join a convent first. So, err.... prayers that things work out, or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
argent_paladin Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 You should try AveMariaSingles.com or CatholicMatch.com. There are a lot of great, faithful Catholic young people out there, but sometimes they are hard to find (contrary to what you might read on this phorum, they don't look weird or funny, if only they did, then finding one would be much easier!). Don't compromise your faith for another! Don't think that you can change or convert someone. Keep your standards high and pray for a good Catholic man who will be a good Catholic husband and father.

Fides_et_Ratio Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 except both of the above cost money, and I am but a poor college kid. And... the internet? seems kinda quirky. Though, my YM getting married in a month met her fiance online through catholicmatch... but they contacted each other under the pretense of a prayer group, not dating. The dating happened a few months after the prayer group started up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
