Luthien Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 Im a homeschooled girl, I met my dearest in my parish. Not impossible. Right now we're young, and if its Gods will, (which I believe it is) we'll do famously. :wub: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestCoastCatholic Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 Go Homeschoolers! Yeah, I was homeschooled for fours years, ending only a year ago when I started doing college. Good stuff. Washingtonian *This is random, but has anyone seen Napoleon Dynamite? I dunno, I was just thinking about the whole online dating thing, and I remembered a scene from that movie. Funny stuff, and clean humor to boot. Shutting up now* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestCoastCatholic Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 On a more serious note, I know what it's like to not be able to "communicate" with the opposite gender. I'm a guy, and believe me, sometimes it's not easy to consider yourself "liked" by other people. But hey, Jesus loves the heck out of me, and I guess it's always that I build relationships with girls who feel the same way about Him in a platonic sense to begin with, letting God have the first initiative. After He's got a firm hold of the center of that relationship, things happen. At least that's my point of view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luthien Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 I agree with you. Its good to set a good solid friendship before you "fall in love" Some mistake physical closeness for love. When your just friends with someone, you can actually assess if you love the person for themselves, not what they can give you physically and emotionally. I will admit, through my move I relied too much on my boyfriend for support. I realize that I should have relied more on God. I guess the important thing is that I came to this realization. God is becoming more of a first. The love that God can give to Kevin is more than I could ever imagine, so by loving Him, God can work through me and help me to give my love in its purest form. Its so worth it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VeraMaria Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 [quote name='MarieCecilia' date='Aug 27 2004, 12:03 AM'] You should be friends with the girl before you get "involved" with her. [/quote] I completely agree Marie, and this goes the other way too...I think I'd have to be friends with a guy before I date him. Interesting thread...

VeraMaria Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 [quote name='KatFromSVDP' date='Aug 28 2004, 09:41 PM'] Hey! I think it's a great idea to have a teen-meeting-phorum-thing! Not a dating service, but just a get-to-know-you type of thing. Email me or IM me if you want to talk! I'm a Catholic girl who wants to meet some nice Catholic guys! [/quote] A place to get to know other Catholic teens, not for dating but for friendship, would be cool. Out of all my friends, only about 4 are Catholic and none of them serious about their faith. That's why it was so cool to come to PM and see people "like me" (CA's so to say, lol ) I know I love to get to know other Catholic teens and talk about our lives and how we live our faith etc etc etc....so that's what this board (CA Board) is here for in a way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VeraMaria Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 [quote name='MagiDragon' date='Sep 6 2004, 08:23 PM'] Girls, all I can say is be patient. The guys that are rock solid usually don't start dating until relatively late. You really shouldn't get into relationships until you're nearly ready to be married anyway, there are too many problems: hormones, money, and the threat that you'll not take the relationship seriously. Guys, Pray hard! Purity is tough, especially with so many girls that don't understand modesty. Fight through your teen years, with a little fortitude and a lot of grace, you can make it through without any problems. If you are in a relationship, take it seriously! If you get into relationships that you aren't serious about, you're preparing yourself mentally for a lack of commitment later in life. it's a very bad habit. If you can't see yourself spending the rest of your life with a person you're dating, get out of the relationship. Otherwise, you're preparing yourself for divorce later in life, the same could be true for "online dating." [/quote] Amen!!!!!!!! Awesome post!!

VeraMaria Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 Wow, this thread is awesome... Cool to meet so many people who think like me (unlike many of you i don't have catholic family really, and not many of my friends are Catholic...so I'm still in wonder that weirdos like me exist ) Right now I'm just taking it a day, a week, a month at a time...if God sees fit to send an awesome Catholic guy into my life, then yay for me, if not I'll continue on cheerfully, being busy with friends, acting, friends, singing, friends, sports, school...did I mention friends? (I really do have a lot of awesome friends...I'm so glad God has blessed me with them ). There's a quote that says something about how High School is the time you have to grow into the person you'll be the rest of your life...not worth chasing after guys and having your heart broken time and time again and chase after the next one, like I see most of ym friends do It's soo tempting to just want to go along with everyone. Not to sound conceited, but I don't lack prospective boyfriends...some guys are just downright determined to get me to go out with them (it's quite funny actually...the more I refuse them (they're the football-hero-popular-jerk kind of guys ) the more they try to coax me into a date But anyway, sometimes i just get tired of being different and get tempted to just go on a date for the heck of it. But then I think about the big picture. And it's not worth it. So yeah... I just trust in him...if it's God's will, and I just can't help but hope it is, he'll send me an amazing Catholic guy who I'll first be close friends with...*sigh I'm a hopeless dreamer* So anyway, in the meantime...this is my steady prayer [i]Lord, help me remember that there is nothing that will happen to me today/this week/this month that you and I can't face together[/i] And it's true God Bless!!!

geetarplayer Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 Vera, you're a lot like my ex-girlfriend in that you are a popular, Catholic girl who has guys chasing after you left and right. I haven't spoken with her or seen her in a while... but someone who goes to her school has recently suggested to me that she isn't handling the circumstances as strongly as you are. Please pray for her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
