Romero Night of The Living Dead, is the only real Zombie Apocalypse, the rest are just pozers, even though TWD is the best action drama out there.

loveletslive Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 hi dominican heart! i had a profile on catholicmatch for awhile and got a few messages from guys but mostly the guys i was finding on there in my area were guys i already knew so it was awkward haha. i would consider doing it again though -- i know several couples (4 or 5?) who met on catholic match. one of my friends who used catholic match always ended up having weirdos message her inappropriate things who were looking for a "nice Catholic girl".

CatherineM Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 I met my husband on Ave Maria. We celebrated our tenth anniversary a couple of weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
He is Risen! Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 I had a Catholic Match profile for over a year and only went on one actual date with someone and he turned out to be SSPX. (his profile just said Latin mass) I would send little notes and happy faces to lots of guys in my city but would never hear back from them. I noticed that if you let your account expire, they still leave your profile up until you actually go in and take it down, so maybe these were just people who had dropped out and I didn't know? I've heard that Ave Maria is good but like some other people have said, not too many fish in that pond. I'm thinking of trying match.com but am not sure of my odds are of finding a strong practicing Catholic on there. Has anyone here tried Match?

Has anyone here tried Match? * sigh * I have tried match, you will find the same thing, inactive profiles, fake profiles, etc, as for finding practicing Catholics on there, your guess is as good as any, the broader the search the better, and just make sure to ask the questions that are important to you. I think most dating websites will have option to select if you are looking for a partner who is of a certain religion, etc. I met one female from there she thought it was a good idea to post the best possible picture of herself, from high school. Clowns galore on online dating sites, make sure ya got your favorite snack and beverage when ya go on one. you can easily online date for free, on chat sites and other websites such as here. A chat website for instance allows you to post your photo and set up your profile most of the time totally free, and then you surf the chat rooms an strike up friendships as you go. Where as here, as a forum , I suppose dating could theoretically happen and be successful , but then check peoples profiles and everyone loves anonymity so we don't post our personal photo on here, and then you are taking a chance at getting involved with someone who doesn't have a photo up an only decides to show you that photo down the road once he or she is comfy with knowing you, and then what do ya do. This online dating websites, work in the reverse in real life, for catholics it would be to network in catholic oriented atmospheres, which means climbing out of our what ever box we are in and going into the real world. IF you have a big parish, with lots of group activities, you have a better chance at networking and meeting people than you do in small parish with only a few. I have actually heard back at the monastery I was at, that some women will actually attend masses where seminarians are hoping to strike up a connection with one before he gets too far down the road. Also I had a brother tell me of two accounts of monks who were professed striking up a romantic relationship with a female they met through what ever and leaving... or I guess one could always see who is going to confession and strike up a conversation that way. Someone start a thread on why dating is horrible, that would be more entertaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HisChildForever Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I met my husband through a mutual friend. At the time I thought she was into him and actually teased her about it! We met at the movies, it was completely fun and casual, and not at all intended to be a set up. That night (as I later learned) he told her that he planned to ask me on a date. The rest is history. I always heard, and scoffed at, the old "you'll meet him/her when you least expect it." Well that was very true in my and my husband's case. We had both been single for a few years before we met. I reached a point in my life where I was comfortable being single but finally ready to date after a nightmare relationship. God did the rest.

An then people are like, well God is sure mysterious and wants us to be happy. God is always there. How people react to their experiences, or those of others, in placing that aspect of faith varies. I agree it sometimes seems warped but it's their own experience and not for others to dismiss. Most good, and the not so good, is down to the actions of people. But a search for God in our experiences changes how we perceive our experience (even our perception and consciousness) and how to learn from them. The problem so often is when one person tries to translate or extrapolate meaning in the journey or someone else, at least so it seems to me.

Try working in a parish, where people tend to try to set you up with their sons and you're like errrrmmmm no thank you I need to keep my love life out of my workplace Kthanks. So now the plan is work away my youth until I'm 40 and by then I'll have my student debt paid off so I'll find the closest Benedictine monastery that will take me. Or work my way up to a seat of power in the new world order at the diocese and just work work work until I die. Now excuse me I have to go teach some first graders about sacraments. Edited January 31, 2016 by Basilisa Marie Unless YOU want to come teach my first graders. You've got fifteen minutes to get here. Come on. It'll be fun.

Ice_nine Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I went on a dating site, maybe Catholic match, just once out of curiosity. It felt weird and creepy. I can't do adult life I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
