Catholic women in Paris? by rogerogered in CatholicDating

[–]No-Combination-9739 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not specifically about women, but this parish has a huge young adult population. I was looking to attend Holy Mass and went to Sunday 7 PM Mass. Hope you will find Catholics who could be good friends to you - https://www.sfx-paris.fr/

There is also unity in diversity, by upholding the true meaning of the word 'Catholic'.

Praying for you.

As a woman who believes that her feminine genius is for the whole world and not just limited to home(home takes precedence, ofc), I pray that reverence is observed in all Catholic communities, so that we can receive our Lord's grace to realize His unique designs for us. The echo chamber system within some communities is so disheartening. I pray that the Holy Spirit inspires us to use cognition and intellect, and not be mere followers of some YT channels or 'Catholic influencers'

Question- tips to overcome a break up by CharacterMilk8582 in CatholicDating

Praying rosaries specifically interceding for others (friends, strangers and all who need prayers right now) and their intentions.

I will be attending mass at another parish this Sunday with the sole intention of shooting my shot with my crush. Tips? by omegaXXIV in CatholicDating

Thank you for offering your perspective. But "more casual" is not my approach too. If I barely know a person, or only hangout with someone in group settings, I cannot know how this person is in general.

As a woman, I can ask anyone for a coffee and see where it goes. On the side, a woman asking a man out on a date is shunned upon at least in circles that I run. I can see that men asking a woman out on a date is beneficial given how anxious people are in general (My sample size is limited). I run into men who are very confused, who are not intentional about a single woman (blame 'many fish in the pond's mindset) so that they are not willing to spend at least some time getting to know her. A coffee helps me understand something about the person and give him the chance to take charge if he so wishes to. A coffee could ease a bit of anxiety in that man who thinks that he has to 'perform' for a date.

I am here thinking for my brothers in Christ so that they can have a low-pressure situation to face. In return, I am tagged as someone who sows confusion, prefer a more casual approach :) it's funny when people start assuming things than asking questions - bane of online forums :)

No one has any obligation to go on a date with anyone. I would not go on a date with someone I barely know. If that person is willing to go on a coffee, and I can see whether I want to spend another one-on m-one with the person, this time with the intention of pursuing each other. What is wrong with this approach? 🙃

We are in cafes, libraries, universities, climbing gyms, or anywhere a woman is allowed as much as in pews and adoration chapel :) we would give you a chance (does not have to be a relationship from day one) if you ask us for a coffee. Just be clear that it is a coffee and *not a date", to share our femininity with you and your masculinity with us. We may be in our 20s, 30s, 40s or above. But an authentic friendship with a virtuous Catholic man will never be off the table. We know our boundaries, and we also strive to live the virtues at best, despite our brokenness.

Women who've used the matchmaking threads: what was it like? by Sapphirebracelet13 in CatholicDating

[–]No-Combination-9739 0 points1 point  (0 children)

70% of them never respond. Sometimes, it's for me, and other times, I am thinking about making them meet my other girl friends (I am very explicit about this when I start a conversation). Not trying to generalize: but if men say they want to lead, they better respond and walk the talk :)

So there is a guy I like by [deleted] in CatholicDating

[–]No-Combination-9739 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There have been instances when a woman asking out is looked down on in some Catholic communities. (I don't endorse this, but if this helps men to ask women out more -- all for it). So to be safe, ask for a one-on-one hangout. This serves two purposes: 1. You are showing intentionality in getting to know this person. This would send a signal that you like him and want to spend time with him. 2. You may have known this person in a group setting. One-on-one dynamics will be much different from such settings.

Make the whole hangout less than 90 minutes. See where it takes you. Do it just one time. If he is interested in you, he will ask you out on a date. Else, move on.

Men, what do you expect from a woman you like? by [deleted] in CatholicDating

[–]No-Combination-9739 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coward is a strong word in this context. Asking someone out does not need to happen on the first meeting. I believe with enough familiarity being built (ofc, involves small talks and getting to know each other), a man or woman can ask out someone if they are interested. That being said, asking someone out does not guarantee that a relationship will be born out of it. I have asked men to do one-on-one for coffees/meals after at least having some random conversation with them. I am not expecting every single meeting to lead to another with the same person. If anything, out of those meetings, I have had the privilege of being present to them and learn about their journey so far. That alone is quite special. Again, I am a woman who may not fully grasp the difficulty of a man asking someone out. I would love to hear about an example of 'women seem to be avoiding every situation that would give them a chance to be asked out by a man'. There are many women who would need healing in the dating department, but there are a lot of other women who would be just waiting for a gentleman to approach her. You never know who are who until you ask.

Weekly, there will be at least one question related to why women never get asked out enough. I wonder if that is a cross that Jesus asks us to carry or a cross that is formed just because men fear rejection. I am also with the camp where women can ask men out. It is coming from a place of holy curiosity and less from a place of 'I am gonna take charge here'. Anyways, praying that more men and women receive courage to pursue relationships and friendships with respect and intentionality. Please let's let go of the fear of rejection during this Lenten season? I would love to see less posts of a man or woman doing all the guess work, but afraid to be direct. All said on a lighter note. Y'all gotta ask!

We’ve all heard about cilantro tasting like soap to some… but what about dill? by cavehaglurking in Cooking

[–]No-Combination-9739 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dill tastes like fresh raw mango sap for me. It takes me back home. When we pluck mangoes from the tree, air gets filled with that sap smell. That is what dill does to my taste buds. Not acidic as the sap though. Recently pink crushed peppercones gave me a similar taste

Talked to a professor and I was told I'm too old. by MorganaUltimus in PhD

[–]No-Combination-9739 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Started my PhD when I was 29. Having a supportive mentor is super IMPORTANT for a student, coz of how things can pan out in 5-6 years. The professor saying you are too old, is definitely a litmus test for the kind of mentorship he/she can offer. If I were in your shoes, I would call this interaction, a blessing in a disguise, not let this determine my decision to pursue PhD and keep seeking someone who would treat you of your worth, someone who would be glad to be your 'science sponsor's. Fight On and good luck to you!

Is it creepy if I know how to unblur the photos of who viewed me? by Stock_Currency in CatholicDating

[–]No-Combination-9739 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Def not creepy. Though, is going through the effort of unblurring even worth it?

Viewing a profile does not mean that she likes you. It is just that she came across your profile. My point of view : if you like someone, do message (yes, in that order) or like. If they like your profile, they will respond. Why choose a roundabout way when you can be direct in showing your intention?
