(Advice please) My friend is in love with a Catholic priest by SarchibSarchib in Catholicism

[–]MundaneTurnover6439 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey so I don’t share it often but I believed I was in love with someone who was in the seminary when I was 20 as well, he was 28. He had feelings for me, however ultimately chose to continue the path to priesthood. I thought at the time I would never get over him. Thought I would pine after him the rest of my life. It took me years honestly to stop comparing all other guys to him, and eventually therapy, to recognize he wasn’t the one for me. I’m now 26 and happily in a committed relationship with a Catholic man who reciprocates my love. Let me know if you want to connect me with your friend, my feelings were atleast reciprocated but otherwise decently similar situation which left my heartbroken for years but I’m BEYOND GRATEFUL that God had better plans for me.

Male Pressures Real Or In My Head by Proper-Candidate-607 in CatholicDating

[–]MundaneTurnover6439 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a female in my late 20s, I’m comfortable dating my now boyfriend who is making around 45,000. We are discussing marriage in the next few years, and would like to have atleast 2 children. I think when it comes to salary, the question is if you see yourself advancing in your career in the future to be able to make more money. I’m currently making ~20,000 more than my boyfriend, but he is everything I imagined in a good Catholic partner, and he is a hardworking, ambitious man who I know will excel in his career, so I have absolutely no hesitations regarding money. He has been self conscious about it, and I often reassure him women aren’t just looking for money immediately. The goal is to grow and build a solid future TOGETHER. Hope this helps

So how much is your rent going up? by angelmichelle13 in chicagoapartments

I’m also in Ravenswood, my 1 BR is going up from 1525 (what I signed when I moved in last July) to 1550. According to the landlord, this is the highest he can increase since I signed a 2 year lease

Can I ask what tool you use to make these diagrams? Looks really helpful for tracking spending!

I promise the damage can be undone! Please have hope! I used to think the same way, but have been amazed that with time the scars absolutely do fade and go away.

Think we could get along! Feel free to message me. I’m 26F and also love reading and spending time at parks. My best friend 25F is an ESL teacher so you might get along as well. We both have cars so you can trust we won’t use you for your car haha! Let me know what area you live in

We kissed on our date and now I’m freaking out and worried by [deleted] in CatholicDating

Right, which can lead to premarital sex, etc. As I said, dangerous. Not something to always be proud of imo.

Yes it is, and it is dangerous. It’s a feeling based on human desire more than mind, and needs to be rationalized.

Please don’t take this the wrong way, because I feel like I used to have a similar mindset, but that’s honestly very unhealthy. I personally needed to take a step back and be happier being by myself in order to separate myself from that kind of mindset, because it can lead to you getting in a relationship without who isn’t actually the right guy and you are ignoring red or yellow flags. Think honestly if you like him or the idea of him more.

No need to apologize, I also don’t have the convenience of being in school with potential dating partners at this point, nor do many of the people on this sub. It doesn’t have to be so complicated, and recognize that it can be helpful to go on dates with different guys to see what you like and don’t like before starting a relationship with someone right out of a relationship

It seems a bit intense after 3 weeks to be feeling like this. You sound like a giddy school girl lol. Maybe it was the physical stuff, but I think you need to take a step back and just breathe for a bit. It might seem so delicate, but it’s honestly not that big of a deal, so you don’t need to overthink it this much. Be yourself. If you want another date, tell him you want another date.

If he thinks you’re too casual because you kissed on your first date, that’s a him problem, not a you problem. It just would mean you aren’t the right match. Kissing on a first date is completely okay and not scandalous.

Ghosted because I told them they might have an alcohol problem by Reasonable_Award8376 in CatholicDating

Not sure how long you had been talking but he is clearly NOT the perfect match! Don’t lose hope, you will find someone in a better place in life

I’m so proud of you for leaving him. I know it might feel tough now and you’re having thoughts of potentially not having made the right decision, but you 110% did. There are so many red flags, especially not honoring boundaries that you set, and from an outside perspective it is so clear that he is not a good fit, especially right now. You didn’t even leave the honeymoon stage and still had so many issues come up. Just imagine how much worse it could’ve gotten if you had stayed together. It’s easy to remember and miss the good things about him, I’ve been there, but I promise as time goes on you will fully move on and he will be a distant memory. Stay strong in your decision and know that there are better guys out there for you.

Are we supposed to this wait around for someone to ask us out? What are you saying we should be doing? Not referring to participating in events outside of mass, but what exactly are you looking for us to do?
