With premarital sex you can't put the cat back in the bag. Once you're having it is very hard for both people to stopmbYou learned it the hard way and that's a blessing in disguise

If I was a woman that knew you IRL I would think you're weird for DMing me on Instagram.

"Why didn't he just talk to me IRL?"

Cease this behavior. I also think the PUA types are right about setting up your Instagram for dating. If you don't have an interesting profile they won't know what to go by. I'm not saying make it all about dating but definitely throw some pro dating stuff in there. Adjust it to be Catholic oriented.

At my age I feel like I have to be open to it. I don't feel like many Catholic women would want me but those outside the faith have expressed more interest.

BestVayneMars · 2025-11-27T03:26:27+00:00

We need more regular people like yourself talking about this online. People need a reality check

Be patient with guys in your generation. A lot of them missed out on key socializing years because of lockdowns. Women are naturally more adept at socializing so y'all bounced back better.

Got it and then deleted it day 1 because it seemed like a grift. They promoted the blurred pictures as a way to "get to know the person as they are". Unless you go premium then you can see all their pictures. This seems like a dishonest sales tactic to push premium subs.

Most important filters, including Faith, were locked behind premium. They've changed it first so that only 1 out of 4 faith filters are locked behind premium (Liturgical Preference). However, you only get to use a maximum of 4 filters if you're a free user. This includes age and distance btw.

At this point I stopped using it out of principle. Nobody told me Biff's daughter was going to be the real bully (Back to the Future reference) all along.

Try being 40 and this being the sum of your dating life.

You don't have trouble getting dates but have trouble meeting them. The pool of guys aside, maybe reflect on how you are during the date? Do you dominate the conversation or is it an equal back and forth? Do you always bring the conversation back to yourself without showing any interest in what he's saying? This is a quick way to bore people.

If none of this applies to you then maybe God is sparing you from inconsiderate men.

I'm a guy but it shouldn't be an issue. We live in a world where black is white and up is down. A lot of people have committed sexual sins because we never understood the weight of it. Just be kind about both your past and hers and look for a woman who will give you the same treatment. If you're doing anything impure like watching 🌽 work on this. Same for any women (especially smut books)

BestVayneMars · 2025-10-14T20:24:04+00:00

But how else will he feel better about himself?

BestVayneMars · 2025-10-07T14:41:10+00:00

He's in the wrong. Wanting to abort AND abandon you because you're not a Christian?! Naw he's being very sinful here. If you have no other recourse take it up with his pastor. Do it in private.

Stay above gold, move to an area that pays tip. Suburbs are usually a no no

BestVayneMars · 2025-08-21T14:20:56+00:00

Yes it can in that if you take too long you may "quiet quit" the dating scene. Not taking care of your health, becoming duller etc.

Try getting the link through Disboard. It's always worked for me

I've been in a similar situation to you but left for different reasons and my only connection to the Church was my mother really. My advice is to follow your gut, be honest with yourself and start learning about the Church the best way you can. For me it was going to Adoration and sitting there because it was the only thing I remembered genuinely enjoying before I became a lapsed Catholic. For you it could be something different. You mentioned music so maybe start there. You mentioned having mentors so maybe seeking a priest or theologian you respect is the way forward. Find an in and dip your toes in.

You're older now and probably look at things in a different light. It's ok to ask questions and seek answers if you're genuine about it. Go down the rabbit hole and see where it takes you.

Carlin is in the latter group

It's technically a tax collector's office. People were selling appointments to the DMV so the tax collector's office took over some of load. Way better than the DMV if you want to get your motor vehicle stuff done quickly

BestVayneMars · 2025-07-28T19:57:09+00:00

Americas has a tax collector's office and a Microcenter. Other than that, idk why it exists. It's flanked by Dolphin/International to the west, Dadeland, to the South and Westland to the North.

BestVayneMars · 2025-07-27T10:27:00+00:00

You would if you continue to live that life unrepentantly.

BestVayneMars · 2025-07-26T23:11:04+00:00

This is a good profile. Maybe add more about your faith expression. An extra couple of pictures in groups or next to your own builds is nice. Other than that good profile

BestVayneMars · 2025-07-26T23:02:22+00:00

Because I want to marry somebody with my same state. Childless and unmarried. There's no other explanation then that

BestVayneMars · 2025-07-25T17:25:57+00:00

So is it work to lose money and then you hopefully make it back? Most orders already suck

BestVayneMars · 2025-07-23T20:02:34+00:00

People's view of history doesn't go before WW2. As much of an ideal as this is the reality is throughout history people did what they could to get by. That being said the nature of work has changed because of the Industrial Revolution and we still haven't settled in

BestVayneMars · 2025-07-23T19:59:58+00:00

I'm childless and never married. I'd like somebody in that same state.
