0:00 Introduction
3:56 There is Hope
I know attraction can grow after you connect with somebody in spiritual alignment but there has to be some seeds of Attraction. You don't just become attracted to someone you were deeply unattracted to at first. I'm almost 50 and I've tried that and I've literally been on dates where I started to cry because I was so disgusted with myself and so put off by the person across from me. The idea of them even wanting to try to grab my hand or look at me like they're attracted to me made me so disgusted. There has to be something there. And to try to play that down is wrong. And yes I'm going to say it even though Catholics hide from that and all other Christians, but there has to be some seed of sexual attraction to the other person. Yes, I said it sexual attraction.
In addition, in the area of ghosting, having a conversation with somebody and then not is not ghosting. The proper term for ghosting is when you're in a relationship with somebody and you disappear. Now where ghosting is acceptable is when one of the people in the relationship feels very unsafe or threatened and needs to get away from the person. Then it is absolutely acceptable.

17:00 #4 There is No Formula
21:09 #5 Root Out Laziness
Yet, regardless of getting married or being single, the pursue of sanctification remains unchanged, and the joy, a binding sense of one’s well being, remains in one’s heart regardless of the outcome.

33:00 Conclusion
most Catholics are Catholic in name only, at 69, I can see it's rare to find someone who really knows the faith and lives it out, in areas of sexuality, most younger Catholics are ignorant about what the Church teaches, I had to learn all of that later in life
More User Perspectives
wish someone had spoken about this when I was younger, ie. 50 yrs. ago, hardest part of Catholic dating is simply finding Catholics available to date in college, or even high school, it's a specific dating pool that doesn't come with a label in the general population
@michaelsix9684Emily, this advice is quite good. Do not listen or follow the "advice" of the secular world when it comes to dating; it's delusional, destructive, inverted! And the 2nd thing is to date with intention or stay single and develop your relationship with Jesus/God.
@DoubtingTomaszCatholic dating???!!!
@glennhebert9016My take home..." Do not be apologetic for what you desire in the Lord Almighty"

@dfoasjDoes anyone know where she got her dress?
@xXRAKKAXxThis video clearly demonstrates that relationships between women and men, especially Catholics, are absolutely impossible. Men only want true love and peace, while women only want superficiality and utilitarianism. Catholic women are the most superficial, hypergamous, verbally aggressive, and violent women you can find on this planet. Catholic women choose men like consumer products, with checkboxes they must tick, and any man who doesn't tick just a single box is immediately discarded and thrown away, like a simple piece of old clothing. Catholic women are specialists in "let's try our sexual compatibility, because I don't want to be with a man that does not know how to sexualy satisfy me as I deserve". For Catholic women, feelings, love, understanding, or loyalty don't exist at all; for them, only money, social status, and physical beauty exist.
A good woman is not Catholic; a Catholic woman is not a good woman.
This slayed
@ev_green_Guys, you can skip to 34:40, I'll summarize this for you...the woman you're looking for is not in America.
Get serious about your faith, renew your passport, get a remote job and go to Poland, Italy or Spain.
wow theres so many requirements to dating i think ill just play clash royale instead
@vicente3jWhy were the women cheering louder in support of their standards than the men’s? This demonstrates the biggest issue with all modern women: pride.
@AnonymousJ0E4044:34 There's no one out there for some of us. It's better to accept that God hates us, wishes for us to suffer. This speaker needs a reality check, because what she's pretending is true is actually false.
@alvaradoac21The idea of "dating" is completely foreign to Catholicism. The process of having a premarital relationship has been traditionally called "courting" and its only purpose was to prepare a couple for marriage in the very near future. The rules of courtship were so strict that it can be hardly called dating. In the modern era, catholics have become deluded because they're surrounded by secular society in which relationships are incredibly loose.
@alexyoyo5830Anyone from India watching this ?
@franny5358i love this lady's energy so much <3
@adahope15She spent like ten seconds covering the complaints of men, to no fanfare, and dismissed them as "their opinions", then proceeded to list like 12 complaints of women to great fanfare. This problem isn't getting solved anytime soon.
@BardelystheMagnificentSo true

@KathleenAndrews-rs8eyTraditional women and men had met in person now that's rapidly moved online,and consequences have been dramatic. First the volume of potential suitors has increased exponentially. 100 years ago you were relegated to whoever lived in your local farming Village and maybe a town or two over. Today you have access to everybody on the planet barring billion or so people who've yet to be hooked up to the Internet, that has cast women into perpetual dating cycle always looking for a better man just a click away, Additionally the global supply of men has flooded women with an indigestible amount of digital attention this misleads them into thinking the supply of marriageable men is Limitless blinding women to a quality man that could be standing right in front of them. And women nowadays are looking for some there attracted to - And women are looking for financially viable at such as at least 100k income and even with that you need to be 6ft tall - and the other is hypergamy women between the ages of 21 and 28 make more income than their male counterparts of the same age group.
There is data from dating sites showing that women out 16k of their swipes only about 200 of them do they swipe right on any given man and out of that 200 only 2% of the time do they actually go on a physical date.
"There's a difference between being lazy and knowing how to rest" - so true Emily 💛

@papierflieger9110I love how her dress has pockets!
@papierflieger9110Beautiful dress 🤩
@faustina6708On my personal experience. I have my act together professionally, own an appartment and have a good level of education. I got at least the basics to start a family resourcess wise. I try to be always well dressed, work out frequently, keep a good and active spiritual life. I intentionally hold myself to a standard of excellence in every aspect. For the past few years I have focused on finding a Catholic lady to see if we can get together with the intention of eventually starting a family. I have only gotten rejections. One particular lady was even cruel and offensive. Some seem to preffer men who are lacking in many areas and many times people whom have very different concepts on spiritual matters. This is a shared experience we have discussed with other men in our parish so I know it is not just my own bias talking.
I seem to be appreciated more by women from other ways of life but usually we do not match in matters of faith which to me are of premium importance. There could be many things I may be doing wrong that I may not be aware of but I cannot yet understand the constant rejection I get from Catholic ladies. It bugs me.
It looks to me they not even take the time to appreciate the good men around them in church. The grass looks greener on the other side until it doesn't.
After they go and get hurt with men from other ways of life, some of those ladies expect men at church to be always ready to provide them with relationships. I have seen this unfold firsthand. When it does not work then the pointing of fingers begins.
As for myself, I am getting tired of this dynamic and my interest on dating and marriage is declining. Being intentional about it has not provided any results over many years. So it makes no sense to continue beating the dead horse. I need to start pondering that it may just not happen. And that hurts, but it is ok.
