The question that haunts so many single Catholic women is this: where are all of the good Catholic boys? Now, off course you could becomes the devout Catholic girl hanging around outside the seminary doors, waiting vulture-like to snap up any would-be priest who starts to have a vocations crisis, but I will warn you: the other good Catholic girls have already thought of this.
Which means that you end up stuck dating, and if you are a devout Catholic girl looking for a devout Catholic husband the odds are not in your favour. Any reasonably eligible young Catholic man who wishes to get married will not find it all that hard to find a date for the straightforward reason that women significantly outnumber men in the Catholic dating scene.
Generally, Catholic men who are seeking marriage have the luxury of choice: they can take a few years to play the field until they find a Catholic girl who really clicks, and then propose. The men can shop around for what they want, and even relatively socially inept Catholic guys often end up hitched to amazing Catholic women. And if you lack some of the qualities listed above? Well… the unfortunate truth is that you could end up being indefinitely single.
God has a plan for your perfect mate, but sometimes He expects you to wait. So keep yourself pure and holy, and sooner or later that pure and holy guy will come and sweep you off you feet. To make things worse, you will find an endless supply of personal testimonial stories from girls who followed this advice, and it worked! They dated this great Christian boy that they met on CatholicMatch.
Hearts swelled. Heaven smiled. Choruses of angels sang. What these personal testimonials miss, of course, is that for every one of these idyllic success stories there are a lot of wonderful Catholic girls praying and waiting and hoping for their turn. This will be unpopular advice, but what about dating non-Catholics? One of the more common reasons that men convert is for the sake of their wife or their girlfriend.
