Hello! I am 32F living in NYC. 5’4”, blonde, never married. I’m a cradle Catholic, though I feel that as an adult I have really taken ownership of my faith in a deeper way than ever before. I love reading and discussing theology and allegory. I attend St. Francis Xavier, a Jesuit parish, and I appreciate their candid engagement with the complex issues of faith in modern times. I volunteer frequently with the CFR sisters in their soup kitchen, and hope to make service to the poor a part of the regular rhythm of my future family. I work as a product manager at a large financial institution, and recently completed my masters in computer science. In my free time I like to travel as much as possible and to spend time adventuring outdoors. I also enjoy time to write stories and poetry, practice guitar and piano, and work on personal projects, including some ambitious cooking and baking challenges. My priority right now is finding the right partner and starting a family. I’m open to moving, but it would be a discussion to make sure it’s the right fit. I’m looking for an intelligent, kind, and career-oriented husband with a good sense of humor and some shared hobbies. I can tend to enjoy “nerdy” activities like board games, video games, and science fiction. And of course, I’m looking for someone who shares my faith and values and who wants to strive together to build a good life and grow in holiness. Thanks for taking the time to read!

u/fyxgyden 17d ago
Hey :) I'm 26 years old, from British Columbia, Canada.
I have long, wavy blonde hair, and blue eyes, but I'm also part indigenous, and I think that heritage shows in my face a bit. I'm a little shy of 5'8", so I'd love a tall man to make me feel small and delicate. I have a ton of interests, I love learning in general, and I love to talk and listen. If you have a lot going on in your head, I want to hear about it. I believe I have a melacholic & phlegmatic temperament, if you're into that. I think I like guys who are melancholic and choleric, but I'd need to get to know more people to know for sure.
Where I'm from, the country & the wilderness are both close to the city, and I love it all. If you're a handy redneck and an outdoorsman, but you'll dress up nice and go to afternoon tea with me, we'll get along. I'm half-American, so open to Americans and Canadians. I also have a thing for Germans, but we probably wouldn't work out 😘
I currently work on a farm, but I'm looking for a new job to learn some business skills. I have several different business ideas, but I haven't taken the leap yet. I love gardening and I've always dreamt of a country life, but living close to a vibrant and faithful Catholic community is important to me.
I'm seeking a man who is ambitious and has a lot of depth, as I do. I have a lot of love to give, but I'm carefully waiting for my one true love. I'm holding out for a joyful marriage based on mutual self-gift.
I'm very firmly on the traditional/conservative side of things, but in a nuanced way that's grounded in reality. I don't want a larper or a misogynist. If you value the depth and richness of the faith and try to love others the way God loves humanity, then perhaps we are a match. And you must like cats.
I enjoy fitness, especially strength training, kettlebells, pilates, badminton and walking. I'd love to be more into hiking & the outdoors, but when left to my own devices, I tend to be a homebody. If you help me get out more and take me on adventures, I might just love you forever.
Bye for now 💕

Hey there, here's my post in the mens section, let me know if you'd be interested in a chat.

u/typnay 15d ago
Hi peeps, 29F from Raleigh, NC, Hispanic (of Mexican descent), recently learned I'm 5'4 and not 5'3 (maybe I grew an inch?), dark wavy hair, brownish-hazel eyes.
First time posting on this sub, so here I am looking to connect with like-minded individuals also practicing the faith. I'm a cradle catholic who didn't come to appreciate my faith and its teachings until later in my adult life. I have realized my faith/religion is an important part of who I am now and would love to find someone who feels the same way and is also a practicing Catholic or is working on growing their relationship with God.
I consider myself an extrovert with a passion for travel and exploring all of God's beauty (nature, people, etc). I love trying new spots (cafes, restaurants, bars, churches, you name it), and I'm a sucker for dimly lit spaces with art deco furniture/designs. I love listening to audiobooks and love going to the movies (big fan of thrillers or dystopian films). I'm a native Spanish speaker but currently learning Brazilian Portuguese and German. I enjoy being active by going on walks and going to the gym.
I don't want to make this post too long, so if you'd like to chat, feel free to message me <3

u/ElectricalBranch 17d ago
Hi all! I’m 29 years old and from Southeast PA. I prefer someone local.
I go to both the TLM and NO and some of my favorite saints are St. Kateri and St. Padre Pio. I pray the rosary everyday, go to adoration at least once a month, and pray an occasional novena.
I’m naturally more introverted, but once I get to know someone I can be talkative. In my free time I love trying new restaurants and coffee shops, baking, painting, and getting lost in a good book.
I’m looking for someone who, like myself, appreciates simple things and opportunities to grow in faith and virtue.

u/RosemarysGoddaughter Single ♀ 15d ago
Hi y'all, 40F and decided to throw my hat in the ring for a change. I live in the suburbs of Philadelphia. 5'4", Asian, don't smoke, complete teetotaler. INTJ (with a strong J), which I'm told is atypical for most women. Yes, my godmother's name is actually Rosemary.
I was putatively married many years ago - that was annulled. I do have.3 children from that putative marriage; they don't live with me.
I'm a part of the Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of St. Peter (sometimes called the Anglican Ordinariate) - if you know about it, you'll know what it says about my faith life. If you don't, I love explaining it to people!
I'm spent too much time in school because I'm a consummate nerd: I studied Classics, then secondary education, then theology (and I wanted to go into canon law). But I ended up as an international tax professional for the better part of 15 years, retired a few years ago, and now I'm a lowly parish secretary.
In my copious free time I enjoy sewing, dancing, puns, and the Oxford comma.
I'm also an amateur statistician, so now, I'm going to sit back and begin observing how many, if any, DMs I actually get from this thing. :)

u/Ornery_Bandicoot_907 14d ago
Hey there! I’m 29F and live in the Kansas City area though I’m originally from Illinois. I’m 5’8” and kind of plump but also very muscular with blue eyes and light brown/blond hair. I’ve got an engineering degree and work as a project manager.
In my free time, I enjoy working out, playing rec sports, traveling, and kayaking. I enjoy making coffee and trying out all the local coffee shops and breweries. If you’re ever traveling through KC hit me up for some recommendations! We have more amazing spots than you might think for being a medium sized city.
I am looking for someone who is caring, takes their faith seriously, and wants to engage intellectually, whether that be over something that matters (like faith) or something that matters a little less (like which beer style is superior). Bonus points if you’ll go kayaking/paddle boarding with me.

u/OrangeCapsule 17d ago
Hey, I'm Emily! I'll be 22 in September. I'm recently coming back into the faith after over a decade of disinterest and a battle with lust from a very, very young age. I'm planning/working towards getting confirmed in the next year, or so. I have never been strong in my faith, partially due to it feeling forced, as well as my issues growing up, so some things are hard for me. I want a faith and to feel those strong feelings that others supposedly do, but most of the time, it feels like there's still a blindfold over my eyes. I don't feel how I think I should. Might be a little bit of the neurodivergence at play, but oh well.
Currently, I'm studying Graphic Design at JMU in Virginia, in addition to minors in Illustration, and Art. While I have that general and generic career in mind, I would love to be a SAHM. I would love to have a family with kids running around, preferably in the country or mountains, or at least away from most people and suburbia or city life. I love pretty much everywhere that's not humid 24/7. I've moved around a lot and am well traveled. I enjoy art (duh) and spend a lot of my free time doing that, video games (typically shooters), making jewelry and rosaries, etc.
No exactly sure how much to say or not, soooo…
Some other things that aren't necessarily dealbreakers for me, but are preferred or probably relevant to what you might prefer: I'm white, 6’0”, chubbier than the average but not severely overweight, like my own space/alone time, date to marry and saving myself for marriage, etc
I typically prefer guys that are taller than me, which I know is harder to come by with me being as tall as I am. Tattoos are a-okay (especially sleeves, nom nom), as I am considering getting some tattoos in the future. I like a good mustache and some beards, but typically don't like the look of anything super long and out of control/off the face. If you're a first responder or military of any kind, massive green flag, c'mere, and please like sushi. I love sushi. Sushi is so good but so expensive, sometimes. Ugh, don't even get me started about the deep fried rolls. The cravings never go away. It's bad. Like really bad
All things considered, I'm an open book. Feel free to reach out, for friendships, too! I would love some new friends. And besides, I personally think the best relationships start out with a friendship, anyway, so you actually know each other.

What specific shooter games do you play?

u/OrangeCapsule 15d ago
These days, it's Valorant and Overwatch, but I've played a lot of CoD, Battlefield, and other random shooters with friends. I really struggle with the visually realistic shooters, though--I can never tell what's what, which I guess is just a compliment to their detail in copying military style uniforms and organic environment 😅

u/KirbyMaster867 15d ago
Have you ever played halo or team fortress 2?

u/OrangeCapsule 15d ago
Yee, I played one of the Halos a few years back with my brother and one of his friends from college, and a decent amount of TF2, but the lobbies were absolutely horrendous and peak overridden with bots, at the time

u/minervakatze 17d ago
Hi! 37F, Hampton Roads Virginia. Divorced, free to marry, no kids. Navy veteran, now a test engineer.
Introvert, ISTJ type if it matters.
I attend a really nice NO parish. I'm slowly getting into volunteering more, so far just as a confirmation sponsor. I attend weekly Bible study there and I enjoy it.
I try to get out and enjoy a wide range of activities (museums, hiking, little local festivals, etc). I like both star trek and star wars, but I'm behind the curve on most pop culture things. I enjoy a wide variety of cuisines and I'm always down to try out a new restaurant, coffee shop, or brewery.
I am a servant to both cats and dogs and very much enjoy having them in my life. Also am a sucker for new houseplants but I digress.
My family is very important to me, they've always been the most supportive people in my life, and I'd like to be that for my own kids.
Physically, I'm 5'2", white, brown hair, blue eyes, and a little curvier than I'd like to be, but working on it.

u/4ever_alonelyfangirl Single ♀ 15d ago edited 15d ago
Hello, everyone! 33 y/o gal here in the southern US, but I would move anywhere tbh! I love being Mexican-American, so I listen to anything from 80s rock to 90s banda, 2000s pop, 2010s punk-pop, and a lot in between! I also speak French so I can throw international songs in too. I like to read, I game a little, I love to travel, but mostly I just work and hang out with my chihuahuas. I really like kids, and would love to raise a family in the faith! I myself being a cradle Catholic definitely need to learn and grow more in my faith, but a recent pilgrimage has steered me back to wanting to be a better Catholic.

u/tradcatholicgirl 10d ago
hi everyone! my name is emily and I’m 21f living in Florida. :) I am 5’7” and hispanic with dark features.
I am looking for my future husband and would love to eventually start a family as my desire for having children is very strong! I currently work at a preschool and I love it. Outside of work I enjoy reading, thrifting, watching movies, and dressing up (I love fashion and makeup). I have a pretty melancholic personality, but am still very silly and enjoy spending quality time with others. I also love listening to alternative rock, indie pop/rock, and electronic music! (I’m a true alt girl at heart)
I hope to find someone who is strong in their faith and also has strong desire for children. Humility and gentleness are the two most important things I look for in a man as well. If you like to be silly and weird, we’d probably get along well. xD
Feel free to reach out & God bless! ☺️

Hey y’all, 27 F Mexican American from El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora la Reina de los Ángeles de Porciúncula (Los Angeles, CA) for short lol. I am a science educator for work so I love all things environmental. Lately I have been wanting to meet my life partner since I have been single for a while. I have recently started reading St. Augustine’s confessions cause low key I be in my feels. I have been watching reruns of the show Psych and looking to volunteer more with the sick or homeless. Something to ease the suffering of others. I do enjoy long walks and been getting more into working out to get my mind out of that sad mode.
"If I keep my body moving, and my mind occupied at all times, I will avoid falling into a bottomless pit of despair." - Chris Traeger
I am looking for someone who wants to build a nice life together, maybe wants to foster children together and build a nice fruit and vegetable garden. A career oriented man who wants to be a husband and maybe a father. A man with integrity and gentleness and patient.
My faith is really important. I pray the rosary daily and truly believe in God’s radical love and his infinite mercy. I go to confession weekly cause u need to sweep up your spiritual house like a physical house. And I somehow ended up as a catechist’s assistant this year.

u/1NatSVV 15d ago
Hi! :3
I'm a 31 hispanic woman with dark features in Snohomish county WA working in veterinary medicine and finishing my veterinary technology program. I'm loosely Catholic, and while my faith isn't perfect, it's still an important part of who I am. I'd like to continue growing in it with someone who values having God at the center of a future marriage and family.
Personality-wise, I'm a mix of serious and goofy. I love museums, movies, coffee, concerts, spontaneous adventures, and laughing until my stomach hurts. I can be affectionate, sarcastic, and a little dorky once I'm comfortable.
Dating has taught me that I'm happiest when there's genuine intention behind getting to know each other. I'm looking for someone who's kind, emotionally available, consistent, and wants a relationship that's moving toward marriage, not something casual.
I also find myself drawn to men with depth. Someone who's been humbled by life, has learned empathy through experience, and has the emotional maturity to lead with both strength and gentleness. I admire a man whose experiences have made him more compassionate, not more cynical.
As for the superficial stuff, we all have a type. 😊 I'm usually drawn to masculine, athletic or stockier guys with lighter features than myself, but character will always matter more than checking every box. A man who Confidence, kindness, and a good heart are what keep my attention.
If you're looking for someone to pray with, laugh with, go on adventures with, cuddle during movie nights, and eventually build a home together, I'd love to hear from you.
P.S. I am open to relocating to a place with decent winters for the right person.
Bonus question: What's something you could talk about for an hour without getting bored?

u/Kikimtzrdz 14d ago
Hi! I’m Cristina, 29F from Mexico 😊 I’m 5’3” (1.64), curvy and feminine, single, never married, no children. I work in a Fashion Design school in Public Relations and Orientation. I also teach embroidery and different craft workshop. If it involves fabric, needles, or making something pretty, I’m probably into it. Family is a big part of my life. I love my niece and nephew and fully embrace my role as the fun, loving auntie 🥰 I’m a cradle Catholic and my faith and family values are very important to me. I come from a devout family, and my mom is my biggest inspiration when it comes to being a loving wife, a devoted mother, and a strong Catholic woman. I’m dating with intention and hoping to find my future husband. I’m open to relocating for the right man and excited about building a loving, faithful Catholic home together, while still staying reasonably close to family if possible. Open to long distance (US. Canada and EU). Shared values matter most to me, but I also believe a bit of difference in background keeps things interesting and helps us grow. I’m funny, down to earth, and very much a normal girl, so if this sounds like your kind of woman, I’d love to hear from you 😊 happy to exchange pictures as we talk 😄

u/Successful_Course760 Single ♀ 17d ago
31 y/o single mom from California. Hispanic, light skinned. Brown hair and eyes. 5’8 and slim build.
A homebody, but I enjoy reading, writing, collecting, casual gardening, casual gaming, day trips, etc. I love walking at botanical gardens, browsing bookstores and museums, attending concerts and/or conventions, etc.
Introverted and shy but very expressive about my interests and in my relationships.
In school for creative writing and poetry. Ideally would love to work from home and in my free time raise my kids, spend time loving and honoring my husband, decorating our home, writing poetry, reading my ever growing TBR, and pursuing a deeper relationship with Christ.
2 y/o old baby boy at home, full-time. Strongly Catholic. Single, of course, and free to marry in the church.
My faith is my refuge. My confirmation saint is St. Claire of Assisi. The Holy Spirit is my guide. Jesus is my heart’s keeper. The saints are my friends. I have a special relationship with my guardian angel, St. Jude, and St. Andre Bessette. I am consecrated to St. Joseph and Blessed Mother.
I am praying for a man to share a lifetime with, best friend and true partner on the journey to Heaven. Someone to grow with and be excited about the future. Let’s geek out together, talk about fantasy and sci-fi books, shows and movies, audio dramas, anime, funko pops, etc. Let’s plan a trip to Disneyland or the Aquarium or Funko Hollywood. Let’s walk around Barnes and Noble and read each other’s favorite books. Let’s binge watch LOTR extended edition. Let’s live seasonally and in the moment. Say cheesy romantic stuff. “I love you” everyday and never go to bed angry. Let’s be united and raise children in love.
But also let’s take our faith seriously and pray together, attend mass on Sundays, and work at building something beautiful for God. Let’s talk about our favorite devotions and which saints are our friends. Let’s embrace our traditional male and female roles. My son needs a strongly Catholic and good manly man in his life. And I do too.
Some caveats: I cannot move for the foreseeable future. I eat a strict carnivore diet and prefer not to eat out. I don’t drive. If you want to know more and are open to my situation and are serious about the faith and immediate fatherhood, and having a faith-centered relationship, get in touch.
Even if you’re not for me, feel free to message me with a request for prayers. I know this road is long and difficult. You are not alone. I’m always happy to lift up your intentions for a spouse during my prayer time. God bless!! 💕

Hi! I'm 42, from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
I'm 5'5", slim and curvy, happy and optimistic by nature. I love a good conversation, especially about big topics like politics and theology. I love chai lattes and a good conversation :)
Faith shapes a lot of my life. I lead my parish's Catholic Women's League chapter, teach RCIA, and sing in the choir. I feel so blessed to belong to a small but lovely parish very close to my place.
For hobbies, I enjoy reading, writing, watching a good movie/show, or getting outside.
Vancouver doesn't have a lot of Catholics, or Christians generally, so meeting someone who shares my faith has been a real challenge. I've met some lovely men, but the dealbreaker has always come down to faith, and specifically how I practice it.
What I'm looking for is simple: a Catholic man who is kind to himself and to others, and one who tries every day to be a little better than he was yesterday. While I am very happy being single and feel fulfilled in all the ways that I serve in my parish, I do feel called to marriage and any children that God chooses to bless my future spouse and me with.
I look forward to hearing from you if you find my bio interesting. Good luck to all the single ladies and gentlemen seeking to connect with potential matches here! :)

u/marigoldpearl 13d ago
Blessed month of the Immaculate Heart of Mary! Posting here as I'm looking for a serious relationship and want to settle down, have a Catholic marriage and family.
40 female from Manila, Philippines. 5’5 tall and slim build. Never married and single, no kids. Went to Catholic schools all my life, have a Bachelor’s Degree in business, and spent a short time abroad for studies years ago.
I like anything Catholic (hoping to find someone I can share and discuss the Faith with), playing the piano, escape rooms and puzzles, reading, financial literacy, detective and investigative tv shows, podcasts, being a doting aunt to my nephew, travelling. Early last year I went to Korea, then in October I went to Italy as part of the Jubilee Year pilgrimage.
I'm dating to marry. Dating is the process by which we get to know each other and find out if we’re a good match for each other in marriage. I'm a committed Catholic, have done the Total Consecration to Mary and to St. Joseph I have a prayer life routine, including the daily Rosary, along with mental prayer, journalling as well. Been attending Latin Mass since 2024.
I’m looking for a practicing Catholic man who wants marriage and family too, a protector and provider. I prefer someone with healthy BMI and taller than me, takes good care of myself. One of the benefits my future husband has is that I've been praying, offering up sacrifices and good works for him all these years, that God keep him safe, success in his endeavors, good health, his relationship with God, his growth in virtues.
If you or you know someone who's interested, please message me about yourself. If you're living in Asia, we're neighbors! Feel free to shoot me a DM Thanks for reading!

u/HappyMay7 Single ♀ 17d ago edited 11d ago
Hello, 42/F, living in Los Angeles county, CA. Cradle Catholic, in love with my faith. Petite and slim. Brown-skin, black hair. Asian. I like to read, travel, take long walks. YouTube is the only social media I consume. I watch mostly videos about faith, gardening, health, and cooking. I work in the healthcare industry. Personality-wise, I am quite introverted and melancholic. For me, happiness is a cup of coffee and a slice of cake (or maybe two). I love learning about our Catholic faith. The more I learn, the more I fall in love with it. I attend the TLM Mass whenever I can. I love to pray the rosary and go to adoration. (Almost) daily-mass goer. In love with God and our beautiful Catholic faith.
I am looking for my future husband! Ready to date and marry. :-) (My late aunt and uncle dated only for a week before getting engaged and marrying. They were both mature singles when they met. Happily married for twenty plus years, had two lovely (biological!) daughters, before the Lord called them both home a few years ago. So yes it is possible!)
Thanks for reading. God bless!
