Catholictothecore Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 "I should have had a whirl at changing to a girl and learned what the creatures think!" King Arthur in [i]Camelot[/i] Does that significant female in your life ever do or say something that just completely makes your head spin? I'll bet yes. Any tips on how to handle the world turning upside down, or at least on its side, guys? c2c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scardella Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 Seminary? Deserted island? Hole in the ground? Spin in a good way or bad? (I've been a DW for 3 years, so I'm probably not the best to ask...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catholictothecore Posted March 28, 2006 Author Share Posted March 28, 2006 She sent me something on the Legion of Christ seminaries and stuff, and she knows that I really want to be married in my life. So, I'm just wondering why she would do that? (prays she never reads this) Or, maybe, did I tell her that I really want to be married? It's odd, because I do consider her someone that is on my "strong possibilities" list, so naturally when it comes to talking vocations and marriage, I kinda...well...hmm.....I guess I didn't tell her. This could get uncomfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jezic Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 well there are many reasons Most of them guys will never figure out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Adam Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 Basically, women see men good for two reasons - they need them to have babies, and they need them to make money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catholictothecore Posted March 28, 2006 Author Share Posted March 28, 2006 Oh, thanks, guys, real comforting. Is this way of saying "Your on your own?" What about brotherly love? What about watching out for each other? AUGHH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jezic Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 this is one time when there isn't always a lot you will know about it. If you feel differently you might have to explain that to her ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catholictothecore Posted March 28, 2006 Author Share Posted March 28, 2006 I guess I will. And, you know, there's always the chance she might she this, but she doesn't go to phatmass much. I just hope two things; one, I;ll figure out what to say, and 2, this thread gets buried before to long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morostheos Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 I know this is supposed to be guys talking about girls, but as a girl I would say there are two possibilities: a) She doesn't know your vocation intentions and was just trying to be helpful and tell you about something she thought you might be interested in; or b)She does know your vocation intentions, but thinks maybe you should consider the priesthood. Either way, you should probably just say thanks for the info, but I don't think God is calling me to be a priest. I promise, girls don't bite!

Catholictothecore Posted March 28, 2006 Author Share Posted March 28, 2006 We're good friends. I just don't want to be heartbroken, I've had enough of that, thank you very much. I've had quite enough of selfish loving. So, what's the point of loving unselfishly if you just going to be heartbroken anyways? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catholictothecore Posted March 28, 2006 Author Share Posted March 28, 2006 I know that, I know. IT's just...hard to remember. This is girl and I are very close. Sometimes I hate boy/girl relationships. I hate the fact that it's so hard to just go back to being friends once you say something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loving unselfishly will always involve some suffering, but what a gift to be able to unite ourselves to Christ and understand how great His love is for us! He kept loving unselfishly knowing that he would be heartbroken. The good news though is that Christ loves us so much and all we have to do is to really believe in His love for us in order to overcome the fear of being heartbroken. Yes, love is hard, but it is also full of joy! okay....i promise i will stop posting on the guys thread now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
