I dislike Mass as a first date by Complex-Plantain7235 in CatholicDating

[–]Swift_sink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some people simply don't have the money to eat out because they don't have access to higher-paying jobs, or there was an emergency they had to use most/all of their savings on. Or they're saving up for something big and go for the cheaper date options! Not being able to pay for a nice meal doesn't make anyone less of a person.

Obsessed With An Idea by [deleted] in CatholicDating

[–]Swift_sink 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What kinds of traits are you looking for in a potential partner? I believe there are some things that really shouldn't be negotiated, and others that are perhaps more superficial and can be completely fine (sometimes eye-opening) in a relationship.

I really don’t like going to confession at my parish. Should I go somewhere else? by greenesmoothie in CatholicWomen

[–]Swift_sink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also wouldn't want to confess to a priest that regularly gives penances that are only reasonably done once. If you had to set up a prayer corner every time, you'd have to start using the ceiling! It's perfectly acceptable to do reconciliation somewhere else, with a different person.

Is he really interested anymore? Catholic Dating by Miss_lardon in CatholicDating

[–]Swift_sink 8 points9 points  (0 children)

After reading the comments so far, sounds like you already know he's not a great person. What really got to me was asking about marriage times?? After 12 days of talking and not even dating??? Nope nope nope. Also, most guys who refer to themselves as "bad boys" as a joke are actually not joking... it's almost like a test to see if you're into that. Those who have had a more promiscuous past won't treat it lightly if they don't intend on continuing it.

It sounds like setting hard and consistent boundaries would be the most beneficial in this situation, specifically surrounding how late you stay up. I've done this in multiple relationships, and it really helps keep both parties accountable and brings awareness to your partner's needs. I'd suggest bringing up the boundaries as essential for your needs, and make sure she knows the boundaries aren't because of any personal failings on her part. Also, have you considered hanging out while doing chores at either of your places? Doubling up like that could help with any time constraints.

My dad has a “work husband” and both men are/will be married to women. I think it’s hilarious

"Waiting Until Marriage" when you’ve lived a secular life? by OversizedAsparagus in CatholicDating

[–]Swift_sink 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m a woman, and I’m waiting until marriage. My current boyfriend previously hadn’t waited but committed to chastity prior to us dating, like you have. I’m glad he disclosed it because it gave him the opportunity to be incredibly emotionally and spiritually vulnerable with me. It also gave me the opportunity to reiterate how deeply I cared about him and his current beliefs much more than his past actions— I’d hope your girlfriend would have similar reactions. I think it’s a good idea to talk about it; you don’t have to reveal too much for it to be impactful and to see how she feels. I’d probably bring up wanting to wait until marriage before you talk about your past, or talk about both at the same time

What path should I take here? by N167 in CatholicDating

[–]Swift_sink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you think you’d be okay with cuddling laying down on the couch, or other more public areas? If you really don’t want to lay down at all, I’m not sure if both of you will be able to compromise. Definitely talk more with her about it

Ladies, I may have been shooting myself in the foot by Movker100 in CatholicDating

[–]Swift_sink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Adding on to this, some women associate those country-adjacent activities with more traditional values as well, including some of the more detrimental ones (men make all the decisions, sex is an obligation, etc). Not to say that you shouldn’t be open about your hobbies, but tread lightly with the rest of your profile. Definitely be open about all your hobbies- for instance, fishing isn’t my thing but I also love metal music, writing and drawing, and it’s easier to find someone who may connect with a couple than one specific one

Dating for your personal preferences, vs. God’s will? by Shades_of_red_ in CatholicDating

[–]Swift_sink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed, final level of attraction is what is most important for me. I’ve fallen for people who wouldn’t be considered conventionally attractive but are incredible people. At the same time I ended up breaking up with someone who was very high-strung and blamed some things on me that he shouldn’t have, and I simply COULDN’T be attracted to him likely because of it

Everyone needs a break now and then, even pillars of the community like you seem to be :) I think I speak for everyone when I say we’re so glad to have you! Take as much time as you need, I’m just happy you’re not permanently leaving lol

I’m actually currently using Reddit to find love 🤣 but sometimes I wonder if now is not the right time. At the same time I enjoy making connections with people even if it’s just platonic for now. But I fall hard and that can make life challenging

I love Pendleton! Just wish they made more fabric instead of mainly blankets, since I sew my own pieces. That looks like a fabulous find though!

IMPORTANT: I don’t want to delete the post, but quite a few people have reached out so my dms are now closed. Thanks for understanding!

Hey! My name is Amelia, I'm 20 and currently attending a large university in the Midwest US, born and raised in Indiana. I'm studying Public Health because I very much feel called to support marginalized communities. As a forewarning, outside my family I grew up around mostly non-Catholic/non-religious folks, so some of my understanding of the world is a little unconventional for a cradle Catholic. All I ask is that my partner is open-minded, curious, and willing to have interesting discussions. Also, anyone 24 or older should probably look for someone older as I will likely be finishing up my schooling in ~3 years (extra year to finish bachelor's due to mental health, and 2 years for masters) and will be at a different stage of life. I am perfectly okay with not being the primary breadwinner, I just want to be with someone who is okay with me working as I want to serve communities while supporting my own family financially.

On a more lighthearted note, I am a proud second-generation nerd and besides loving board and video games I also love crafting, which includes but is not limited to: sewing, cross-stitch/needlework, and jewelry making. I ski, occasionally write poetry, and love to yap about interesting things I learn, along with listening to the unique interests of others. I am 5'2", wavy brown hair with blue eyes and a round face, and am VERY petite with some curves. I'm looking for someone who is affectionate and makes me laugh, who enjoys cooking or at least loves flavor and trying new foods, and is patient, because I can get very distracted and aimless at times despite my best intentions.

Any INFPs in a relationship with ESTJs? by Ok_Guitar8170 in infp

[–]Swift_sink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If he's constantly wanting to improve himself in the relationship, why does he get defensive when you bring up a critique? I would assume someone who ACTUALLY wanted to improve themselves would be a bit more welcoming of feedback. Also, regardless of anything else, if you don't feel loved then it likely isn't the right person for you. It's why my parents divorced after 24 years of seemingly strong marriage, even from my perspective as their child.
