Pithy, witty... your parishioners must love you. <br /><br />Thanks for a good laugh.

Yes, I read it when I realized that I couldn't take my eyes of this very cute Assistant Curate, and that I would always switch lines so that I could receive communion from her (mainly to stare into her eyes). So I googled "How to Date a Priest", and your blog came up. I must have read it 10 times before I got up the nerve to ask her out for a drink (thanks for point 7,btw). That was almost 4 years ago, and now we are close to celebrating our 2nd wedding anniversary. I thought of your column when I saw that you are blogging on Lent Madness, and I realized that I had never said thanks!

After 25 years of ordained ministry I have found that to be absolutely true. So ladies, don't get your hopes up!GraceCanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16530201612215891805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467092921624269928.post-87004834806972466732013-11-01T11:21:44.169-04:002013-11-01T11:21:44.169-04:00I am a late-40s, divorced (ex 'changed his min...I am a late-40s, divorced (ex 'changed his mind') female priest with two teenage sons. Dating is not easy... I've been trying the online dating thing, and as soon as the words "clergy" or "priest" pass my lips, the glazed look comes on, and I never hear another word. <br /><br />But about wearing the collar... I recently attended a fundraising gala for a non-profit with which my parish is closely associated. Because I was attending in official capacity, I was wearing my collar, and - no - clerical collar and 'gala' do not go well together (need to add to my wardrobe). Well, as it turns out, at the table I was sitting with the parishioners who invited me was a single gentleman - also divorced & father of teenagers, but not a member of our parish. He met me as a priest - and still asked me out for coffee. Thinks are continuing swimmingly!

This was during my sojourn across the Tibur. (now back) While there I discovered that working with celibate men was not helping my social life one bit! So, confessing to NO ONE, I tried a famous dating service. I should have been warned by the strange expression on the woman's face as she took info on my work for the registration process, but I still hadn't learned that working for a church puts one in a "other" category.<br /><br />So a man called and we arranged to meet in a Friendly's Restaurant. He turned out to be a skinny and short Italian man who explained that he, too, liked music. In fact he earned a living playing the piano in a well-known night club. (notorious night club is more accurate) "So" he said, "What do you do for a living?" So I told him.....The look of horror on his face was impossible to describe! He threw his hands up in the air, thus spilling his coffee and he shouted "Jesus H Christ, they sent me a God-dam Nun!" then he said: "Goddamit, Miss, I gotta go, excuse me" and he dashed out of the place, leaving me to pay the bill.<br />Good lucck, ladies! Better luck than I had :>)<br />nij<br />Nijhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02429614661154565627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467092921624269928.post-73237830141034093972012-08-02T17:41:34.652-04:002012-08-02T17:41:34.652-04:00If she wears a collar on the first date...she prob...If she wears a collar on the first date...she probably has no idea it's a date, or is sending you clear messages that this *isn't* a date.Lurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16127222848209940044noreply@blogger.com
