Luthien Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 [quote name='OverheadNite' date='Apr 13 2006, 12:00 PM']Well I'm 20..close enough, and I'm not married yet. My eventual realization is you're going to find your someone when you're meant to. There is no point looking. Because those usually end horribly. At least they have for me. [right][snapback]946242[/snapback][/right] [/quote] I wasn't lookin', certainly not for someone 8 years older and online for that matter. Just because your almost in your mid-twenties doesn't make you an old maid Balthazor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dust's Sister Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 (edited) [quote name='Fides_et_Ratio' date='Apr 13 2006, 12:07 AM']... how are parents/friends taking the age difference? There is a certain fellow about the same age difference from me (I'm 21... he's 8 years older) and my mother, who's practically desperate for me to get married, refuses to let me even consider the possibility of dating him, or as seeing him as anything other than a friend-- a distant friend. lol. And some of my friends are a bit skeptical of the whole thing as well. For now, I'm okay with being friends (I'm not sure how ready I am for marriage... lots of college loans to pay off and such), but I am unsure how to approach the entire situation (especially since he is older and more ready to be settled down). Sorry for the ramble/interruption.. back to the thread! [right][snapback]945732[/snapback][/right] [/quote] You know what, I've had a crush on a guy at church recently, and I finally got the courage to give his mom a note (while he wasn't present).. and in the note I asked him to email me cuz I've been noticing him around at Mass... and you know what? He emailed me, and we met that next Sunday at church, and just as I expected, he's one of the nicest and sweetest guys... the only problem though is that he's 18 and I'm 24... but it doesn't make a difference to me, because I'm not anywhere near close to Marriage yet, and I doubt he is either, cuz he's going to college and all.. and besides, I need more college education myself, but anyways, -- If you think u'd like someone at Church, my advice for you is to go for it and not be afraid. [quote name='Sojourner' date='Apr 13 2006, 09:04 AM']They're more inclined to marry because it's more a part of the culture in religious vs. non-religious communities. And guys who love Jesus are just irresistible, so they get snatched up quicker. [right][snapback]945893[/snapback][/right] [/quote] Yes, the guy that I just mentioned is irrestistible, that's why I just had to contact him some way, some how!!! I can see that he loves Jesus. : Oh, and for your information I am 24 and single... I hopefully might have a date soon though.

Dust's Sister Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 I am also somewhat discerning, but I'm still not totally sure. I keep hearing things like, well If you don't have love, to have a family life, then ur not going to have love to be a sister... --- if you know what I mean, so I must first have the love for a family life I would think...

So you see these guys that will say "oh yeah I am Catholic too" in a bar or a club...but you almost never see them at Mass. It is the orthodox Catholics that are hard to find.

I don't really look like him haha. THIS is me cleaned up and spiffy. I'm on the right.

I had offers and blah blah blah none of it was chaste and respectful...nobody was on the same page with me spiritually, so I just didn't settle for less. I was yelled at by my peers for not seizing the moment when the "hot girls" wanted to fool around. haha I have a future wife song, and the lyrics are in my forum if anyone wants to check it out. That is my idea of a relationship.

Fides_et_Ratio Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 [quote name='Luthien' date='Apr 13 2006, 01:24 PM']My parents love him! He has been very considerate of the fact that I am not quite as ready as he is to tie the knot. And he has reassured me that us eventually being married would not put a wrench in my going to college and getting my degree. Its all about comprimise. If he really cares for you, he will make it possible for you to do what you planned before you met. [right][snapback]946109[/snapback][/right] [/quote] Thanks for the advice. I suppose I'll just have to wait and see what happens and hope that my parents will come around. My parents are high school sweethearts, married by 19, and are only a year apart. I do agree about compromise.. there are definitely things I know need to be settled before I could enter into marriage. Oy... so confusing sometimes! I need an epiphany.

I've actually only dated once in my life too, but that guy was certainly not for me, and actually I've never been a REAL date before... the guy I was going out with, we just became girlfriend and boyfriend like THAT, which is not a good thing, and I'll never do it that way again, but anyways, I hope this guy I mentioned before likes me. : --- If I ever go on a date, that will be really something.

Deeds Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 I'm 21 and my boyfriend is 7 years older. I think some people react negatively to the age difference because 21 is not long out of school, just at the beginning of adulthood, etc. But if you're mature enough and he's not some old letch who's trying to take advantage of a younger girl, then it's all good. My relationship is great and I don't notice the age difference at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
