Find Me Some Love - Catholic Single

Catholic Single - Holding Out, Holding On

Start off with something chic - So! Whatdaya think about that Ratzinger? We're really gonna put it to the Lutherans this time! Right away you will know if you are dealing with another Catholic single - a diamond in the rough, a real holy roller whose family stuck to their papal guns through reformations, crusades, occupations and a continuing smite of hierarchical molestations to come out swinging incense on the other side. Dating within the Catholic scene is difficult to begin with - doesn't Rome frown upon relations before everything? - but times are changing, things are heating up and today's Catholic singles are finding new ways to get it on!

Getting it on as a Catholic single

As a Catholic single you are probably blindly aware of the rules of Catholic dating:

no touching before marriage
no birth control
your 15 brothers and sisters have to be put to bed by 10 o'clock.

We're not like other singles - we're better. We have to work hard, and that hard work is sure to pay off in relationships that will last a lifetime!

What to do when you meet that Gentile someone

The good thing about being a Catholic single is that you have the greater part of the Latin universe as an option - saucy, sexy, spicy, sepulchral! They'll wear black, they'll pout, they will continually mourn for their fallen saviour, but once a Catholic single knows you are interested they'll drop their guard and they will be interested. The big question then is how does a single person playing the singles game approach a Catholic single? Easy:

Be yourself - run this one into the ground. However lame cheesy pick-up lines are to you, they are equally lame to someone else
Dating isn't church, so even if you are interested in rocking the testaments leave that until later
Don't move too fast - remember, there are RULES!
Follow through.

Don't give up on your American single search just because your Catholic brethren brushes you off. Persistence sometimes pays off. And so does exploration throughout the organized religious world. Some of the most successful relationships ever spawned when that daring Catholic dude sauntered up to a smokin' Jewish single and they hit it off talking about Doritos - instantly dissolving two millennia of hatred and misunderstanding!
