Faith And Dating


So why is it that I will never again date a non-Christian or someone who may be anti-Catholic, such as a fundamentalist? Been there, done that. Really, I think it unlikely that I will even again date someone who isn't Catholic. It's too much of a hassle. A male Catholic should have similar beliefs and values, which makes dating easier. First of all, chastity is a big issue. Why date someone who isn't chaste? It's just a setup for arguments and temptations. Second, why date someone who you can't share communion with? This was a major heartbreaker while I was with Glenn. He had been baptized Catholic, but his parents left the Church when he was 2 to go nondenominational. I felt like my heart was being ripped out because he couldn't take communion with me. Third, the requisite Catholic wedding (someday). Eventually, James balked at this, though I think that could have been worked out (with a "then I won't spend the rest of my life with you!"). The other things couldn't be worked out, so I left him two months after we got engaged. Fourth, where's the spiritual basis? This is the perfect reason for a Catholic girl to date Catholic guys. Who else understands? Who else shares it all? So that's why I am now looking to only date Catholics. Oh, and the picture at the top is me with Glenn. See there is visual proof of my big, dating a non-Catholioc, heartbreak! Ok, except I'm so over him that I didn't hook back up with him when he started coming around at school. Actually, now I know I didn't really love him, but I sure thought I did at the time!
