      11 Then the Lord said to Moses, 12 “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘If a man’s wife goes astray and is unfaithful to him 13 so that another man has sexual relations with her, and this is hidden from her husband and her impurity is undetected (since there is no witness against her and she has not been caught in the act), 14 and if feelings of jealousy come over her husband and he suspects his wife and she is impure-or if he is jealous and suspects her even though she is not impure- 15 then he is to take his wife to the priest. He must also take an offering of a tenth of an ephah[a] of barley flour on her behalf. He must not pour olive oil on it or put incense on it, because it is a grain offering for jealousy, a reminder-offering to draw attention to wrongdoing.
      16 “‘The priest shall bring her and have her stand before the Lord. 17 Then he shall take some holy water in a clay jar and put some dust from the tabernacle floor into the water. 18 After the priest has had the woman stand before the Lord, he shall loosen her hair and place in her hands the reminder-offering, the grain offering for jealousy, while he himself holds the bitter water that brings a curse. 19 Then the priest shall put the woman under oath and say to her, “If no other man has had sexual relations with you and you have not gone astray and become impure while married to your husband, may this bitter water that brings a curse not harm you. 20 But if you have gone astray while married to your husband and you have made yourself impure by having sexual relations with a man other than your husband”- 21 here the priest is to put the woman under this curse-“may the Lord cause you to become a curse[b] among your people when he makes your womb miscarry and your abdomen swell. 22 May this water that brings a curse enter your body so that your abdomen swells or your womb miscarries.”
      “‘Then the woman is to say, “Amen. So be it.”
      23 “‘The priest is to write these curses on a scroll and then wash them off into the bitter water. 24 He shall make the woman drink the bitter water that brings a curse, and this water that brings a curse and causes bitter suffering will enter her. 25 The priest is to take from her hands the grain offering for jealousy, wave it before the Lord and bring it to the altar. 26 The priest is then to take a handful of the grain offering as a memorial[c] offering and burn it on the altar; after that, he is to have the woman drink the water. 27 If she has made herself impure and been unfaithful to her husband, this will be the result: When she is made to drink the water that brings a curse and causes bitter suffering, it will enter her, her abdomen will swell and her womb will miscarry, and she will become a curse. 28 If, however, the woman has not made herself impure, but is clean, she will be cleared of guilt and will be able to have children.
      29 “‘This, then, is the law of jealousy when a woman goes astray and makes herself impure while married to her husband, 30 or when feelings of jealousy come over a man because he suspects his wife. The priest is to have her stand before the Lord and is to apply this entire law to her. 31 The husband will be innocent of any wrongdoing, but the woman will bear the consequences of her sin.’”

    • @TickleMeElmo55

      I tend to avoid the Protestant phrasing of "waiting until marriage" or "saving myself for marriage." (Not saying you said this, just what you wrote reminded of it.) I always phrase it as sex has its time and place - within marriage. Not married? No sex. It's that simple. If people can't understand that then that's their issue. Ain't rocket science nor 4D philosophy. Not married? No co-habitation. I don't play house.
      Do you drink at work? I hope not. There's time to drink and time not to drink. After work either during Happy Hour, with friends at a BBQ, at a sporting event or at a social event i.e. wedding. Maybe have a beer when you eat dinner, but not at work. That's how I try to frame it.
      Are Catholics afraid of sex? No. Do Catholics think sex is disgusting? I mean, it can be, but no we don't view sex in general as disgusting. It's just that sex is made for the the confines of marriage.

    I’m married but in my experience from back when I was dating, there is something I feel like Amber is missing the mark on. Yes, men need to treat women as people and not just a potential girlfriend… but they also need to make their intentions clear. In my experience, a failed dating attempt really only hurts if the two parties are leading each other on because their intentions were not made clear. Sometimes it’s the guy just claiming that he wants to he friends but secretly wanting something more. Sometimes it’s the girl spending lots of time with the guy but secretly she isn’t actually interested and just enjoys having a male friend floating around her. Both sides are capable of leading each other on and the way that happens is by one or both parties not making their intentions clear. The guy needs to let the girl know that he’s interested in more than just friendship and the girl needs to to be prepared to stop leading the guy on if she’s not interested in a relationship.

    As a young Catholic guy (also somewhat recent convert) what she says about her experience at young Catholic events is so true. I just think unfortunately that many Catholic singles just need to chill. I've seen many of my Catholic friends do this to girls (and vice versa many women do it as well). Part of me thinks it's the pressure of a secular society. Good, young, single Catholics are actually hard to find (particularly in the liberal states where I am) so when you meet one that you find even mildly attractive your instinct is to pounce. So I think what Matt said is actually pretty spot on.

      It’s even worse in rural parts like where I live because there are not a lot of young single Catholic girls here but there are a bunch of single guys. Once any attractive single girl comes to the group the instinct is as you said for the guys to flock to her and it honestly scares them away. I think the strategy is to just chill out and do your own thing and that will distinguish you from so many people.

    Had a daughter at Franciscan and yep, she had guys who told her she shouldn't want a career, that she wasn't attractive because she was 'unfeminine' for showing her intelligence. Many of the young men and women attending that college treat it more like a marriage mart than a place of higher education. It's quite sad and doesn't seem to be coming from the faculty or administration, but from the students themselves.

      Men don't care about a woman's career, education, or any of that. They certainly don't want an overly argumentative sparring partner who's constantly down their throat. Previous generations have misled their daughters into thinking their 20s and 30s are best spent climbing the corporate ladder and making as much money as possible rather than preparing for marriage, and they've truly done these girls a disservice in doing so. While it comes across as harsh to hear that none of that matters to guys, those same guys are trying to do her a favor by telling it like it is.

      Plenty of guys out there who want an intelligent partner. If a woman has a certain intellectual capacity, is she supposed to be 'dumber' to be more 'feminine'? I don't buy that in the slightest. I am happy to have a college-educated wife who is informed and confident, and can contribute to good decisions. No real leader ever wants LESS capability within his team. I loved to have capable and qualified soldiers under me and watching my 6. It is good to have a smart wife beside me doing the same.

      Obviously people don't want hostility but the idea that anything other than placid agreement is "argumentative" is a toxic idea from people who are insecure about their own decision making abilities.

      Actually that makes a lot of sense, how are you going to "prepare for marriage" without gaining some sort of financial stability?
      How are you going to be a good spouse if you don't know how to handle any responsibility?
      And even if being financially stable and mature weren't necessary components for a modern marriage, then how does an education or a good job stop you from "preparing for marriage"?
      What does that even entail?
      Because I can tell you that I wouldn't want to marry someone who's never worked, has no education and has been socially cut of from their peers.

      @@Grokford because the corporate ladder is not a good guide for growing in responsibility and maturity. Corporatism is a cult - it trains people to be good members, not good people. It creates artificial standards and goals that are divorced from healthy reality. Those who go far in the corporate world are those who get away with being irresponsible by maneuvering blame and climbing over the bodies of the people who got caught up in accountability.
      If you didn't realize the corporate world is a farce, not good for learning loving relationships, you've got some serious blindspots in applying Christian charity and the authenticity of the Gospel to daily life and I wish you much grace and luck in escaping the delusion of corporatism and the laughable version of "financial responsibility" in a society where the government has not had a budget in more than a decade, prints its own money like a drunk and then sends its children to kill any government that is audacious enough to propose a more authentic and less exploitative currency. There is no financial responsibility unless you pay off all debts monthly.

      Trust me it's much better than being at a huge secular college, where the men try to push sex and sexual contact on all the women. Marriage is the furthest thing from their minds and they don't respect women at all.
      Not all of them, but enough that many outbreaks of STIs and STDs happened on campus, such that they had to send a community email.
      Also they had to add police officers and counselors due to the rising rates of SA and violence on campus.
      I've never been so happy to have graduated. I learned a lot at college but the ferral nature of so many of my male classmates was frightening. Oftentimes I wish I went to a Catholic college instead.

      This point was talked about quite a bit in the show, and the biggest sign of it was her advice about what to do when in a fight with your spouse or significant other. To which she suggested holding hands during those heated moments.
      In this video I’d say her dismissive attitude towards men asking her out. Maybe it’s traditional circles that have men who are socially awkward in that way, but it’s a pretty harsh condemnation as a whole. She, and even Matt to be fair, talk about not being ‘weird’ without really defining what that is. I’d also say that there is a value to simply asking a person out on a date. Getting to know them beforehand is a nice thing and it should be done prudently, but I’d argue there’s nothing wrong with being forthwright from the beginning.

    K this is massively off base. This is modern feminism bound up in a Catholic case. A guy asking about your relationship status is telling you two things: he wants to marry, he doesn’t want to waste his time and risk temptation with a taken woman.

      Well said. Men have traditionally always expressed their interest for a woman up front, rather than pretending to want nothing more than friendship, then resenting the fact they're "just friends", until that man's bottled-up emotions reach a boiling point and the girl wonders what the heck is wrong with him when he becomes distant or spiteful.

    A lot of guys ask "are you married/seeing someone?" right off the bat because most guys now have no interest in being "just friends" with women. Men being "just friends" with women is a waste of time and has a high risk of inviting scandal. Better to just ask up front and save both parties a lot of senseless toil and trouble.
    Could we phrase it better? Yeah, probably. We men are blunt creatures, please try and understand that lol.
    As for "just talk like you want to get to know her," that's what dating is for. And again, men nowadays generally have no interest in being "just friends". It's pointless. You're either dating or you're acquaintances, because friendship between men and women muddies the waters and gives scandal a place to hide and wait to pounce when one or both of you are weak and vulnerable.

And after that line is crossed, physical intimacy is nigh unavoidable.

    "Approach a woman with intentions of not dating at first. Approach with the intention of getting to know her." Okay while that is solid advice for breaking through that initial "stranger" ice the first 1-2 times you meet a girl, time is also a big factor. Guys who take it slow will learn that you have to move quickly because a desirable single woman is usually not single for long. After "missing your opportunity" with several girls because you were taking your time to organically get to know them, you start to lose your patience for that kind of thing. But yes, you are right, the first couple times you meet a girl you shouldn't seem like you're in a hurry--even though you've probably learned by now that yes, you need to be in a hurry.

    Of course it’s a big deal. It weighs heavily on a man. Rejection isn’t fun. That’s a woman saying that she isn’t interested in connecting with you spiritually, physically, experientially, and that she doesn’t want to have your children. All of that context resides in a simple two-letter word.

      I think the idea is that it lacks some social grace for someone to ask if you're married right away. it just seems rushed to skip directly into "you single?" before you even introduce yourself or listen to them introduce themselves. imagine someone walked up to you and immediately said, "hey, are you looking for more friends to hang out with or do you have enough?". Telling people "hey this is what I want" as your very first impression is self-absorbed. You're not catering to them at all, just trying to see if they might be able to fill a role for you. So I think her point is to be respectful and to treat them like a person, don't just ask if they fit your criteria right away.

    I think so many people are just confused as to what it means to date anymore. There is a difference between "dating" and what my grandparents called "going steady" (dating exclusively or courtship). The goal of dating is NOT marriage. Dating has marriage in mind, but the goal is to learn more about potential spouses, most importantly to learn about the moral character of the other, to see if they would be a person you would want to court. Until you become exclusive, it's OK to go out with other people to find what qualities you like or don't like in a person. Ideally, you would be able to go out with several different people before electing to an exclusive relationship with one of them (I know this is not always possible). I would argue that even courtship's main goal is not marriage, as you're still trying to learn more about the other at that stage (obviously, it could be an end, but not the only one). Betrothal (engagement) would have marriage as the end goal. At this point, it's not a marriage yet, but it's end is marriage, and it should only be called off for very grave reasons.

    While I agree that using “are you single?” as an opening line is a bad idea, I also think it’s strange that on one hand Catholic men are criticized for not being forward, intentional, and confident enough to ask women out, we are also criticized for doing it too much.
    I also vehemently disagree with Amber’s philosophy of getting to know someone before dating. What is dating if not getting to know someone? I am just not that interested in having opposite sex friends to begin with, so forgive us for not wanting to go that route and potentially waste my time and emotions.

    • @pokenaut7803

      I have to agree. Amber’s philosophy seems to flirt with the secular idea that dating is some kind of special status. Almost as if you are asking a girl to marry you day one.
      I’ve started to use the term a “friend I am dating” for a while now. Cause the secular culture acts as if a girlfriend and boyfriend are a couple while they at all legal and spiritual levels aren’t a couple.
      So she’s getting it at least partially right. No, you shouldn’t ask if you are single, cause that’s the secular version of asking someone for sex and marriage.
      I would argue, that the best approach is to get to know someone as a friend (You’re a boy, she’s a girl that isn’t courting anyone, I think it’s pretty obvious that you are attracted to each other) and then ask to take them out to what is basically a first date. Without mentioning the word “date” to her secular friends.
      I know avoiding the word date and girlfriend around a secular audience seems a bit non-straightforward but, seemingly using them creates a lot of scandal for both of you. Until the culture is righted, I don’t want to use terms that are heavily associated in secular society as what Catholics see as sinful.

    At 1:10. That happens to men as well in many churches. Women won't talk to you for a variety of reasons based on their laundry list for a man. I have seen women in their 20s tell me with a straight face they expect a man to own real estate (house or condo), make $200 k or more a year, have all his education done, have a nice car, be ripped, no living with his parents, and be over six feet tall. And none of these women bring a lot to the table themselves. They will have to lower their expectations of a future husband or become one of those church ladies who has her cats for company.

      Exactly. The only reason a woman wouldn't want you getting straight to the point and asking if she's taken is because
      A. It implies you're above seeing or sleeping with a woman who's already in a relationship, and/or
      B. She wants to string you along for attention, and a direct approach negates this
      Christian men would do well to speak in a direct, confident manner with a woman they're interested in. To take an indirect approach by falsely claiming you only want to be friends, hoping to somehow manipulate her feelings so she comes around to liking you, or otherwise being dishonest is not going to work out for you. It never does.

      You know, you may also just want to cultivate better conversation skills. If you're doing what Amber is describing here, of just walking up to women and putting it to them bluntly that you want to court, that's not a gallant or attractive strategy. If you were especially handsome that might work for you, but the problem here is if you don't engage in any pleasant small talk or show a woman that you're generally interested in her well being as your sister in Christ, but rather your actions are implying that "I want to know whether you're my future wife because if you're not I think talking to you is a waste of my time."
      And sure guys that are really handsome can get away with having such a knuckle headed approach, but my point is that it is a rude and knuckleheaded approach, and girls will react accordingly if they aren't seeing stars because the guy is incredibly handsome.

How you treat people you think you can't get anything from is who you really are. And that is a person you should steer clear of, especially when it comes to dating.

      I used to think that women held the power I dating but I've changed my view on this recently. Now I actually believe it's the opposite, that men have the real power. But that's only true if they're men who are not slaves to lust and sex. Guys who masturbate and watch porn are easily controlled by women, they'll jump through hoops trying to get with her because they crave sex. And women know this, that's why they can put themselves into the position of judge and selector. But if you're a man who's overcome lust and has gotten to the point where he does not need sex for happiness, validation or whatever, then the power completely shifts in your favor. I know this from personal experience. When you get to the point where you don't need sex or a relationship to be whole and happy in life and God truly is enough, just watch what happens. Women will come to you, as if drawn by a magnet. It's actually quite and amazing thing to experience. And when that happens you see that true power is earned though self control and discipline and that its you who holds all the cards, not women. But just like uncle Ben said to perter Parker in spiderman "With great power comes great responsibility" you gotta use this power wisely and not abuse it.

    Holy moly this combox is cringe.
    We got one poster suggesting to withhold marriage in your twenties to "experience life" (I can only imagine what this means) and build a career, and then marry in your thirties, or something like that. We got people who think dating is only for "to get to know you" stage (I mean, to a degree it is). We got people who think being friends with women is will create scandal. You then got your r/CatholicMeme guys who took one too many sips of MGTOW using Giga Chad seriously
    Here's a suggestion: Get out in the real world, choose kindness and be friends with people regardless of their sex. This is called being social. Sometimes relationships start off within friendships. Sometimes you see a cute girl and you ask her on a date. Sometimes that works out. Sometimes she's a bad fit and you move on hopefully within a few months.
    Edit: Also, when men approach women at these Catholic/Christian social groups and immediately ask if they're single/married it's ironically viewing them as a means to an ends. It is a selfish action in the sense that the question only values them by viewing them in a myopic light. Oddly, it dehumanizes them.
    It's eerily similar to when people date for the sex and not without much intentions on moving to marriage and procreation. Amy the single Catholic isn't Amy the Catholic who works in education who likes bowling and B-rated horror films, but Amy My Future Spouse Please Date Me Let's Pray The Rosary Right Now. Like, chill, bruh. I know all those Catholic husbands wearing suits and sporting a full beard at the TLM with their veiling wife and 5 kids are your heroes, but you ain't there yet.
    I want to add that there are "dates" - casual dates where there's a potential for romance, like a friend setting you up for coffee one Sunday afternoon with Bill, and there's "dating" when there is romance where dating is seen as the road to a potential marriage. If one is dating for at least 1 year seriously, and the question of children hasn't been brought up then it should. If one party isn't for having kids it's best to cut ties after that single year.

    My friend, a young professor at university, went out for coffee with a colleague. He gave her a side hug, they sat down ordered coffee, talked, all that jazz. 9pm that night he gets a text from her: "Why did you hug me?" He replied, "Just thought it was the thing to do." She replied, "don't every put your hands on me like that again."
    He's now afraid that she'll go to administration and get him fired for "sexual harassment." THIS is why men WON'T date. We're not going to get our hearts broken and lose everything we've worked for all over a stupid bint...not again.

    I don't think any guy actually would skip hello and say "are you single?" before anything else, if they are then obviously stop doing that. That's impulsive and doesn't display any attempt at conversation skills, which is an obviously desirable trait in anyone man or woman.
    You will be labeled a creeper very quickly if you seem to be "on the prowl" no matter how good of a man you may be. If you strike up a conversation with a woman and it goes well then after a bit of talking you could invite her out on a date, just bear in mind you will be in the same parish potentially forever so don't be weird.

    Well, as a 26 year old man, I can say I am one of those people who ask right off the bat, if a girl is married or dating. I have zero interest in making new friends, because most "Friendships" do not have the type of substance that I am looking for. I am a well traveled man. I have lived in many states, I've moved around a lot. I've been to 5 different high-school's, I meet so many people and I have talked to many women that I have interest in dating. I don't want any new friends, I really only like the small circle of reliable friends that I have in my life right now. Chances are, we're not going to be on a deep friendship level anyway, because most girls just don't care about the stupid things that I'm into. I also have the sentiment of not wanting to waist my time. Why would I want to be friends with you, in a deep personal level, if you are married? The temptation of lusting and adultery would be running high. I'm not saying men and women shouldn't be friends, but from a male point of view, I don't agree with this woman. She is super cute, and I would definitely want to chat with her, but does she play Fallout? Does she like talking about the lore and storytelling within that series, just as an example, perhaps you don't like to geek over Fallout. Well, it could be any movie or game series that you can use, that you may geek out over. But I don't think, she would watch TK Mantis videos on Fallout and also stick around while I am gushing over classic car's and why a HEMI is called a HEMI. Lol. We just would be speaking different languages.
    When you are married, that still persists with your wife, not caring about your silly passions, however, because you are either dating a woman or married to her, she will naturally start having interest in some of those things, only because YOU like them, not that she genuinely does. Her goal here is to impress you. Same applies to us guy's. You'll start "liking" things that your woman is into. I just don't feel that this applies at all, when you are just "friends".
    Just a thought...

    See here all catholic men who want to marry! If you cannot find a catholic woman at your parish, and it is not an option for you to find her elsewhere, your only other option is to go out in the "wilderness" (secular world) and find yourselves a trad influenced or trad-leaning secular woman to convert. A woman like this is someone with a conservative background, or who wants to be a housewife, or has housewife hobbies. My current boyfriend of 7 years is a very masculine man and he knew instinctively, when he was a protestant 7 years ago, that the only way he would find a good Christian woman would be to find a decent woman and make her Christian. He went on the internet and found me. We had both prayed to our respective Gods for a man/woman of God to marry. I was a MUSLIM back then, and was longing for a husband. His apologetics was so on point he converted me in under a month into protestantism, and a year or so later he discovered catholicism and converted me then too! Now we are both attendees of a trad parish, catechumens, on our way to be recieved into the church. And after that you bet we will marry and have kids! And we are both in our early thirties! So do not sulk and be discouraged, take up your cross and do the hard labor of transforming a woman into what God made her to be! And be willing to face whatever fallout, persecution and backlash that might mean for you and her. If you cannot find the answer around you, CREATE it. You know what you want, that is your vocation. Go out and make it happen if it is not landing in your backyard. You know instinctively these are grim times with very few trad women. So this IS the way if nothing else works. Men are not to passively wait, they are in the offensive, they are conquerers! Good luck!

In reality they are morons to every sensible individualist with diploma beyond basic grades.
      For example this raging pretiesh lunatic is not hard to please if you hold knee and propose marrying because she likes to consider sexting and live like normal teenagemom would. Males are not that easy for woman, especially for goodlooking 'wifematerial' who consider holding only one arm in both hands, her fathers and husbands. When looking with men for possible engagement, they consider if monetary rewards are there and she can finally stop reading new marketing departmen's job application guidelines as there is finally solution to whoring for jesus. Its money and good luck with rest. Normal hard working every day bitches are easier to please. Get body of greek god, suck dicks in threesomes and babysit her sisters kids for her to go out and cheat with normal chumps to not let you reproduce that easily. Some overly represented types are not included, these are averages without any bad lipsynching even.

      Women are taught to talk with men they have interest in and to show that they have interest but to allow the man to ask them out. If the man doesn't ask that could actually be a sign the man isn't interested in a relationship with you. I remember waiting to be asked out by people I liked and finding out later that they didn't like me back. One of them started dating another girl. Another one never reciprocated if I tried acting interested. I would try acting flirty and he would ignore it and/or not even realize I was trying to flirt. So I prefer for men to take the initiative most of the time.

Women are flooded with attention and validation on social media, dating apps, etc., and it's frankly setting both men and women up for failure.

I do not give a flying fig about a career. No one and I mean no one talks about the people who did everything right and there never been anyone around for them to even have a relationship. I have to live with the fact that I will never have children which I wanted so bad and I wish that I was told as a child that I couldn't have them to because I would have never desired them and would not feel as sad as I do now, which I will probably feel for the rest of my life, which I hope is short because the sadden is horrible.

They're also the type of people who can't "just be" - just BE single and BE okay with, pick up hobbies that they're fine doing alone, and hang out with friends to socialize and just have fun.
      They're the opposite side of the coin of people who date just to date because feelings/want sex/scared to be alone or whatever. In this case, they want to date just to date because "I need a spouse." Yes, that is the whole POINT of dating but they're going about it awkwardly.
