The world is full of dating advice – much of which is toxic and damaging to relationships. We approach dating advice from the perspective of Catholic teachings as they relate to the persons and the role that dating and romantic relationships play in our lives as Christians.
In this section, we’ll explore dating advice for first time dates as well as advice for those who are going on their 20th date. More importantly, we’ll look at why relationships sometimes fail and what it takes to make the work.
Should you start a relationship while social distancing? There’s not necessarily a blanket right or wrong answer to that question. Every person and every relationship is different. What might be a deal breaker for you might not give someone else pause. Someone else’s green light might not be yours. But if you’re considering starting a […]
When it comes to online dating, nothing gives you a good shot at being successful like having a really good profile. In many of our Catholic dating articles you’ll see us point to the fact that you shouldn’t slack on your profile. Doing so will keep you from having the thriving online dating life you […]
While we’re all trapped at home amid the Coronavirus panic, now is a good time to think up great ideas for first dates with Mr. or Miss Right.

Social distancing can leave us feeling lonely and desperate for any form of human interaction. But nothing good comes from acting desperately. You’ll only end up feeling even lonelier and more cut-off than ever. Here are some dating pitfalls and how to avoid them, especially while practicing social distancing. 1. Don’t wait too long to […]
I am a podcast fiend. Not owning a TV (which I wouldn’t change for a moment!), I listen to and enjoy podcasts like it is a side hustle job. Podcasts are an easy avenue to learn more, become educated on issues I am not familiar with, and stay on top of current news, events, and […]
Spring is a time of renewal and new life. It’s wonderful to see all the bright colors, green grass, and trees after a dull, cold winter. But remember that new life can spread into our lives, too! It’s a great time for us to claim this renewal, even in our dating lives. This could look […]
The future isn’t usually easy to predict. For instance, most of us probably wouldn’t have guessed a couple of months ago that most of the country would be on some level of quarantine in April. But here we are. Anyone who was planning a first date with someone they met online for some time around […]
Being a Catholic single person, I have received a lot of free (and sometimes!) unwanted advice over the years. You are a catch, the right man will come along someday. Have you tried online dating? Check out the singles or young adult groups at church. That would be a great place to meet someone. Ask […]
Relationships take work, and we all know this. It can be hard to maintain a good and healthy relationship even when we can get together.
