The Catholic: Part 2

So, things would be going well with Mr. Catholic Man if it weren't for one thing: there's no way I can date him. Absolutely no way. I mean, he's fun and all, but he's...just...not who I want. I gave my heart away about, oh, 11 months ago, and there's still a huge chunk I haven't bothered to get back yet. In the back of my mind I'm always thinking, oh yeah, this guy's great, but he's just not...him. You know. The one. And I thought I had that.

But, like I said in an earlier post - I'm pretty sure that I've established that I'm fickle. So maybe this is just a phase. Who knows. If so, it's a pretty darn long phase.

I have the same problem here with Catholic chicks. First of all, they assume I'm trying to get into their pants, which makes me wonder what Catholic guys are like because that's not my goal at all. Then they (not I) bring up the subject of religion and they get all snooty because they're Catholic and that makes them Superior, and it's like dating somebody who's not a Catholic would downgrade their social status or something. (I could get into my sister marrying a Catholic and succumbing to pressure to convert, but that's another story.)

Then again, most girls dump me anyway when they find out I'm not rich. So I don't bother dating anybody anymore.

But this is your blog so I'll talk about you. See, cute girls like you can get whomever you want, and because of that you're incredibly picky. Try being an ugly broke white guy and see how picky you can afford to be! Not very. It's why I didn't date anybody for a LONG time. Then I decided, fine, I'll take whatever comes my way and try to make it work. The lesson I learn from my social life is a simple sentence which I will pass on to you: Sometimes you have to compromise to be happy.

(But really... don't get involved with a Catholic. It's like being the newbie in a cult. Not fun.)

just a random thought: seems like you have 2 choices. 1st is to somehow get back the guy you lost, or 2nd, let him go and move on. doesn't seem like you are being fair to yourself or any other guy that walks into your life. I'm not saying that you should forget about your lost love but don't bring other guys into the situation until you are ready to move on. And this catholic guy, while he may have pushed you away at 1st, you are comparing him to your end-all-be-all ex. He doesn't stand a chance, does he? And not to insult you, but I bet he isn't the 1st guy that ended up on the back burner since your fickle stage. You owe it to yourself to be truthful. Hopefully I didn't upset you too bad. Just being on both sides of this before, I had to speak up.
