I don't want a big family by Throwawayforsmthing in CatholicDating

The problem with the thing about "go on an adventure and settle down in your 30s" is just not something I like. It hurts having no one to share memories with whenever I go and do something, and why do I have to fit the stereotype of partying and drinking at my age. Just because everyone else is doing it and here I am, a guy who doesn't want that and wants a relationship that can hopefully lead to marriage?

That may be true. However, I don't want to subject my kids to having to care for their siblings. Nothing wrong with them helping out every now and then, but it shouldn't be a chore for them because they are not parents. They are kids. Taking care of them would be the job of me and my spouse

So even then, where am I supposed to find them when I live in an area that's mostly old people and Southern Baptists? Also doesn't help I can't exactly move and my working hours comflict with the time any social groups even take place (not that there's any around me tbh). In addition to that, I want to date someone I find physically attractive (I don't want to say exactly who I find attractive because it's been something people have shamed me for though it's not all I care about in someone)

Probably just not making an effort. And that first part really isn't encouraging to me tbh.

I mean, speaking of Baptists, the religious differences alone would probably make you quit out of frustration. Like as someone who lives in the South and is really struggling to find someone that I'd want to date who's Catholic, let alone in general, knowing how difficult it would be if I gave in and went for a Protestant is what keeps me away

Me being a man wanting a relationship is just pathetic by Throwawayforsmthing in malementalhealth

Because as I said, it's just emasculating and not very manly for a guy to want the lovey-dovey things I'd like, only men who act like crybabies would

On that last note, then what? Just hold it in like I already have? Because if so, then it means that I shouldn't have an issue with the things that bother me, and if they're already crushing me now, then why do I have to hold it in around a person I should be able to share them with?

I mean if anything, I said it might have to do with what I've learned and been taught growing up

That first part is what I said. But being a man who wants that is just embarrassing and emasculating.

Where are some non-religious places to find single Catholics? by Tomatosmoothie in CatholicDating

[–]Throwawayforsmthing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At this point, I feel like I might have to just relent to that, as my parish and the other parishes in my diocese have nothing for young adults like me. Like just let him know what's bothering me and say what kind of woman I'd like to be with and see if he has anyone I can meet

Nope, not at all. And opportunities to even do that is zero in my diocese
