I said in the account that I hadn`t had a lot of experience with relationships in my school years and recently. Well some of that was because I tended to go towards some of the more ``physically attractive`` women. Growing up I tended to be like other stupid men raised in our secular society and I wasn`t in this Catholic frame of mind (that the event holders wanted us to center our speed-dating around). Unfortunately, that led me to a good portion or rejection and even made me more insecure around those women. While doing that, I probably ended up rejecting other women who would have been at the very least good friends, if not possibly someone I would have had a relationship with. <br /><br />Now though I`ve grown up and gotten older, I`ve realized that soceity has some pretty sick pre-conceptions for dating and physical appearance. Not to mention dwelling on those pre-conceptions can lead one down the road to the Seven Deadly Sins, pride most of all. Furthermore, I have reveted to my faith and realized that being shallow isn`t what Christ did. Ever. Why he even TOUCHED a leper in last week`s Gospel to heal him of leprosy. <br /><br />This dating event put that Catholic framework out for all of us there. Combined with my gained experience and wisdom, I was happy to converse with all the dates I had and conversed with each of them as much as possible, regardless of what my eyes saw. I just told myself to go in with no expectations and keep that Catholic framework in mind. And it made my experience enjoyable regardless of the outcome.Young Canadian RC Malehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14716232749482910081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6905236167079601771.post-50038357214763602802012-02-16T21:03:45.110+00:002012-02-16T21:03:45.110+00:00I agree, it IS great to have a guy's perspecti...I agree, it IS great to have a guy's perspective on this. And a very hopeful one as well.<br /><br />One thing I'd like to ask the guest poster about (if I may): what did you mean by, "And their looks didn`t prevent me [from speaking easily] or make me guarded."?MichelleMarienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6905236167079601771.post-62892395901402656882012-02-16T19:37:36.675+00:002012-02-16T19:37:36.675+00:00This sounds like fun.
