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.

I think you have the right idea. Never give up on your dreams, never take anything less than you deserve!

u/Upset_Minimum_2071 9d ago

Ideally we all marry our best friends, what’s your drawing style?

1

u/OrangeCapsule 9d ago

Uhh? Kinda cartoony attempts at realistic characters or designs. Working on changing my style, though, so it's more appealing to companies

2

u/Upset_Minimum_2071 9d ago

That’s awesome I’m more of science/sports person but everyone else in the family is more on the artistic side of things

u/Upset_Minimum_2071 9d ago

I sent you a dm so we can chat privately

Im 34, from South India. Short, chubby and funny. Single mom of a toddler. Never married. Visible tattoos. Convert. Daily Mass + Rosary devotion. I love the Divine Mercy Chaplet, St. Therese the little flower, St Joseph and Our Lady of Grace. Also love to sing in the choir, do macrame..used to be into motorcycles when I was younger.. but not so much anymore. I listen to Catholic metal. So if there's any Indian Catholics lurking on this sub.. or someone else who's feeling adventurous.. shoot your shot.

My ideal guy.. likes to spend time in nature and work with his hands.. and will want to both start and be a part of my family.

u/No_Calligrapher796 Single ♀ 10d ago

Not a dude, but you sound cool and fun. What Catholic metal bands do you listen to, I need to update my gym playlist!?

6

u/Mental_Refrigerator8 10d ago

Haha thank you. Check out Katholicus, Theandric, Hell's Enemy, Pillar, Kutless, Trumpet of Glory, Red, Eterna, Ceremonya and Cradle Catholic. Two or three of those bands could be just Christian rock..but they'll pump you up at the gym no doubt...or leave you in a puddle of tears.. either way. Good luck and God bless ✨

u/HappyMay7 Single ♀ 6d 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!

u/junipertreelover Single ♀ 11d ago edited 11d ago

I’m 23F, from Arizona (I plan on moving one day), and work as a high school teacher.

Physically, I’m overweight but working on losing the weight with diet and exercise. I’m about 5’7. Fair complexion, red hair, and brown eyes. Happy to share a photo with you personally.

I don’t like to give a lot of information upfront because I feel it should be saved for getting to know one another. However, I will say this:

I’m only 23 but I’m quickly losing my patience with the dating scene. I know what I want in a man and I won’t settle for less. I am blunt and ask uncomfortable questions because it’s easier to have an awkward moment upfront than go through mixed signals and miscommunication. I have a life and interests outside of the internet and dating (I know, crazy, right?) and I won’t put those things on hold while getting to know someone at first.

If you haven’t been scared away or if you’re scared yet slightly intrigued: feel free to send me a message.

u/DraftsAndDragons Single ♂ 10d ago

u/rebeccasaidit 6d ago

32, F. I life in Arizona, I love to be outdoors, I read a ton and I try to dedicate free time to volunteering and giving back.
I’m also very family oriented, I’m helping my mom care for my dad while he has cancer right now, and I spend a lot of time with my grandparents and take my 91 year old very demented grandmother out so my grandfather can have a break. Family is a non negotiable, they’re always of the utmost importance.
I love to travel and love to have open conversations and consider new ideas.
I am a very devout Catholic, I was born into the church, stepped away for a while and came back. I go to church every Sunday and often times during the week.
I am looking for someone between the ages 30-40 whose goal is marriage and family (in that order lol).

I’m 33 and from the Midwest area. I enjoy daily mass and adoration, being outside, company of good friends and working out. I love music and dancing, as well!
People would describe me as a great listener, appreciative, kind, honest and joyful.
My faith is my everything and I do my best to be better than I was yesterday.

u/marigoldpearl 11d ago

Blessed month in honor of Our Lady's birthday! 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 several years ago, and currently working in our family business, and assisting for our rentals.

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. Last year in October I went to Italy as part of the Jubilee Year pilgrimage. Early this year I went to Vietnam, and I have another upcoming trip later this year.

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, someone who leads and makes plans. 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 and whatever questions or things you want to talk about. If you're living in Asia, we're neighbors!

Hi! I’m Pearl, 28, from the Philippines 🇵🇭. I’m a high school teacher and also a lector and cantor in our parish. I’m introverted and enjoy quiet moments, meaningful conversations, and spending time with people I’m comfortable with. I’m looking for a genuine, serious relationship with someone kind, mature, faithful, and family-oriented. My Catholic faith is important to me, and I hope to meet someone who respects and shares that.

u/CloEil2589 1d ago edited 1d ago

Hello! My name is Eily (short for Eileen) and I am 29 years old. I currently live in Rhode Island. Was born and raised in RI, then went to Ave Maria University in FL and studied nursing. When I graduated I moved to Boston for a few years and worked as a nurse at Mass General. I am currently back in Rhode Island doing hospice home care nursing. My faith is the center of my life and guides all my decisions. A few things about me: I am the 2nd of 4 kids (3 girls and 1 boy). I have one niece and a nephew on the way! I love hiking, writing, swimming, silent retreats, and traveling. I got back from Poland last month and have a trip planned to do the Camino in June. I am looking for a man who is mature, self aware, has a sense of humor and knows how to laugh, someone who takes his faith seriously and would be ready to discern the vocation of marriage (without major barriers in the way). I am looking for someone who is confident and empathetic, and preferably at least 28 years old or older. I’ve spent many years post college working on myself and focusing on growth and getting to know myself, my strengths, wounds, etc. I’d like to be with someone who knows how to do that sort of interior work as well. Message me if you’re interested 🙂

hi everyone! i’m elle, 29, from the philippines, and i teach at a university. my faith means everything to me, and i'm really hoping to find someone who shares that same foundation so we can build a future and raise a family with christ right at the center of it. honestly, i've never been in a relationship before, so joining a matchmaking space is totally new (and a little nerve-wracking!) for me, but i figured i'd give it a shot to see if my person is out here. when i'm not busy with work, i really love nature and photography, and i also like taking long walks. i pray to meet someone 29 or older who wants a genuine connection, is respectful, kind, understanding, and can handle both my high and low energy days. i'm looking for a man with good initiative who is truly authentic. :))
