stagefairy Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 Why do you date? Is there a purpose? Lets hear your thoughts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sojourner Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 If I were dating, it would be to discern marriage. Casual dating, i.e., that which is not part of the process of discernment, is simply not worth my time and energy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aloysius Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 discerning marriage is the only reason someone should date. the other type of dating is partly responsible for today's high divorce rate and lack of family values. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theculturewarrior Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 I haven't been on a date since december 2002. I would like to to try courting next time, but most girls demand dating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StColette Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 (edited) I don't date for the simple fact that what I would get out of dating someone, respectfully and morally, I can simple have with a good guy friend. I mean seriously you find companionship when you date someone but it's the same type of companionship as with a good friend. I mean a good healthy Catholic relationship isn't based on the physical assets of a relationship but rather on the mental assets. You cut out all the physical stuff that occurs with a lot of dating a you simply have the relationship you would with a good friend. Don't get me wrong I've dated before and I came to the realization that what I was getting out of the relationship I could get just as being friends and it would not put stress on anyone. Other people on PM have this same philosophy and I'm sure they'll be happy to share more into with you. edited to say: but if I did decide to date someone it would be for the discernment of marriage.

homeschoolmom Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 [quote name='theculturewarrior' date='Aug 9 2004, 08:53 PM'] I haven't been on a date since december 2002.

But i really like the idea of it having a more family feel to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stagefairy Posted August 10, 2004 Author Share Posted August 10, 2004 Wow! I feel really at home here! I don't date (well, I do, but the discernment part is over, because we are married ;-) ). I met my husband on a mission trip to the Philippines when we were both teenagers and to make a long, romantic story short, we didn't date really. We courted mostly and had some dates after we were engaged. I could say a lot more, but I am looking forward to hearing an earful later... :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
immaculata Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 I'm not dating anyone currently, and I don't plan on dating anyone for a good long time. I got my heart broken last year, so I'm staying away from boys until they grow up and become real men. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
