I don’t know if you would be interested in this at all. I am a 28 year old male that has dated in the past but has found it hard to find good Catholic women. I have tried the Catholic dating sites, there are two of them that I know of that are actually legitimate: Ave Maria Singles and Catholic Match. The problem is that this is only such a small representation of who is out there and usually leads to long distance relationships which are very hard. As a matter of fact I was involved in a 2 ½ year relationship with a Catholic woman that ended because the distance was too difficult for her and we were both in school. So my question is: do you have any resources on where to meet someone with the lack of community in todays ‘Catholic community?” It just seems creepy to walk up to a woman after Mass or a bible study and ask her out; she would probably never come back to that parish again… It seems like a violation of the purpose of the event. Can you ask your readers? Any help would be appreciated. I really think this is a pretty big issue for young Catholics who feel called to finding a partner.

I’m not much use here as an old married fart. Anyone? Bueller?
