The good Catholic dating pool is probably pretty small when compared to the general population, these days. Seventy years ago, when there were more good Catholics, I'm sure the dating was less awkward. I would say lukewarm Catholics could be good dating potential if they were open to becoming more serious in their faith. Ruling them out completely really does limit the possibilities of meeting the right spouse. The small amount of good Catholics to choose from is what makes the dating scene seem awkward because it's more desperate.

Yes it's incredibly difficult to talk to girls when they all immediately huddle into a circle. Also wearing a purity ring or Marian consecration ring on the left ring finger is an AWFUL idea. I see someone I think is pretty, notice the ring, stop thinking about her. 2 weeks later, no ring. Wtf am I supposed to do??? Also how do you find out how old a girl is? Sometimes I can't tell if they are 16 or 26 and I ain't trying to be a pervert.

The burden to be good enough is so heavy. I think living as Paul did helps relieve that burden.

[MWroses]

It's awkward for older Catholics, too. You kind of have to ask right away if someone you're interested in was divorced and what their previous marriage situation was in order to know if they would even be eligible to be your potential spouse. Would be heartbreaking to fall for someone who was previously in a valid Catholic marriage

Fulton sheen once said that the woman can do alot for a man by simply dropping hints. he told a story about dropping a handkerchief and he picks it up and talks to her. He thinks he's doing normal, but she sorta led him into it.

Good virtuous people to date do exist for both men and women, they are just buried in layer upon layer of non-dateable people. It gets isolating though.

Edit: date-able autocorrected to edible. Whoops.

The majority of people between the ages of 18--39, at least two thirds, maybe even more, in my 3 Local Parishes of Mansfield, OH, that actually show up weekly for Mass, and for Theology on Tap, and for Bible Studies, and for other events, are men. We're literally asking, "Where are the godly women?" And when I lived in Columbus, Ohio, that figure went up to about 4/5 single people showing up being men.

[DemitriVladMaximov]

We got tired of the stupid games, lived where there weren't large populations of single Catholic women, were demonized by society, got tired of the games, got ghosted or people ignored us, and our experiences seeing how men in media made the ordeal unappealing. Our concerns are not addressed, or opinions are gas lighted, and with everyone focusing on the positive side the continued failures of that repeat message to match reality has led to hardened hearts. Eventuallyen, like myself, being rational creatures did a cost benifit calculation and walked away from the mess.

Do NOT ask young women about dating advice.

That last minute of the "is there a chance to get out of the friendzone" harsh reality was hilarious.

Thanks for sharing my comment on the stream, Matt. I really enjoy your content and Amber's as well!
I want to correct my comment though about me saying "I'm a 25 year old man..." the character limit was a struggle to figure how to say my comment. I should've said "gentleman". even though I am a young man, I really didn't want to sound older than I said i am. Darn you character limit boxes!

Spent 20 years breaking my neck to be “good”. Apparently it wasn’t enough.

Titus 2:2-8
[2]That the aged men be sober, chaste, prudent, sound in faith, in love, in patience.
[3]The aged women, in like manner, in holy attire, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teaching well:
[4]That they may teach the young women to be wise, to love their husbands, to love their children.
[5]To be discreet, chaste, sober, having a care of the house, gentle, obedient to their husbands: that the word of God be not blasphemed.
[6]Young men, in like manner, exhort that they be sober.
[7]In all things shew thyself an example of good works, in doctrine, in integrity, in gravity,
[8]The sound word that can not be blamed: that he who is on the contrary part may be afraid, having no evil to say of us.

I tell you what: my conversion to Catholicism has utterly crippled my chances for dating. As a 28 year old convert with already stunted social skills, rejected just too many times, the possibilities are already low. Combine that with small, local parishes that are either populated by old people or people under 22. My current parish is very much a college parish. What's also wild is there aren't even that many women. Like, I've been Catholic for few years and the amount of Catholic women I've seen with my actual eyes is very small. My only real Christian options are all baptists and, obviously, most are uninterested. Like, bruh, I'm done for. I've given up entirely on even dating, let alone the possibility of marriage. Thanks Catholic church 🙂

Don't look for a good Catholic man; but rather strive to be a good Catholic woman! And Thank God Almighty for whatever He blesses you with.

I couldn't agree more about not sheltering kids. Yes, raise them right and protect them in the ways that are necessary but don't shield the from society completely or they won't know how to handle situations... and they won't fit in well. Some homeschool kids are awesome and get along great in life, but some are awkward and don't socialize well when they're on their own. The world needs bright little Catholic lights to be in society to spread the light of their faith to those who need it. I'm sure it's hard to navigate, though. It's hard enough for Catholic adults to represent and spread the faith, so I'm sure it's extra hard for the kids.

That's like saying there are no good catholic women.

[shelbyhuseman]

If my Catholic husband wasn’t so amazing I’d definitely be a nun in a heartbeat 🤣 god had other plans for me, he hand picked my husband and brought him in my life when I least expected it. My husband is such a loving, compassionate, faithful man who does so much for me just because he loves me so deeply. Good Catholic young men exist for sure!

Once a "no" or "let's just be friends", always will be.
Ugh, the irony and the video's timelessness. :p

[Kipperbob]

Any time any women ever suggested the friend zone to me when I was younger, I always said "great, I wouldn't consider breeding children with anyone I couldn't consider a lifelong friend". As a man it's best to lay out your intentions honestly so that there's no confusion about the matter.
