Catholic seeking Catholic: the online reality

So how do young adults of faith connect with potential husbands and wives in the 21st century? The most common method, in my experience, is online dating. It was a profile on Bumble, an online secular dating app, that eventually helped me find my wife after years of unsuccessful dating, mostly online. My journey to meet Adeline, my wife, included dating outside of the faith, as the field of potential Catholic matches in Metro Vancouver can appear limited, especially if you attend the same young adults group each month. Secular dating apps became my friend, and one of them, Bumble, eventually introduced me to my wife, who is Catholic. But this one success came after roughly 40 unsuccessful online matches.

Dating as a Catholic, single woman in the world today is difficult enough, but add the online dating component and it becomes even more frustrating of an experience. It is simply the harsh reality. Online dating may at first glance appear to be a convenient way to meet a potential spouse, but the truth is that it often falls short in the search for finding men with the strong values that should come with being a Catholic, who are local, who do not lie on their profile, are actually real-life persons and not a spam account. When I have found men who could be a possible match they are often on the other side of the country.
