No, don't look at her. I had a girl who'd follow me into the boys bathroom regardless. So don't expect she'll be over you fast. Just wait and don't let it discourage you.

Mate it's been years and everyone involved has moved on. We've had light conversation after mass and other events without any consequence. It was awkward at first but I couldn't avoid her completely, especially in the same circles. The point is moreso to avoid private contact (texting, 1 on 1 conversarions etc) but be civil when in the same place.

Follow you into the men’s room?  You call it the boy’s bathroom. It sounds like you were both immature, not ready for marriage.

I think the wording here changes the point. I've heard loads of old people call it the boys room rather than the mens or the gents

This is sound advice, but this can be difficult when you're in the same circles, e.g you go to the same mass

I am the person who said that, not the other ones below.

Anyway, my response is , yes that makes it harder. But you have to try your best.

Mixed company is not a good thing generally.

In Catholic societies for 2000 years, men hung out with men, and women with women.

But try suggesting that to your modern trad, and they think you have two heads.

So in that case, lean on your male friends. Hang out with them as much as possible. Honestly I also thing making friends with older men is also a good thing, because you benefit from their stability and life experience. One of my best friends is twenty years older than me.

I mean you have to be selective, even with your male friends. If they keep wanting to drag you into mixed company settings try to pull them out of it, and if they wont listen, dont be their friends.

Get some focus in your life.

Because, I know I am total hypocrite when I say this, but it is a waste of time talking to single women until you feel totally confident to start a family. You really should try to avoid "drifting" into a marriage.

Because that give the upper hand to the woman, who can smell you are not ready. And she will exploit that. Trust me, this is experience speaking.

What all us men have to absolutely beat into our brains is that women from the age of 14 are on a totally different timeline to us. Everything in them screams I want babies. But men want peace and stability. So in our society which does not support men setting themselves up as patriarchical leaders, we need WAY more time to do that. Like 10-20 years more depending on your particular situation.

But women are INCAPABLE of understanding this.

Look at all the idiot boomer women on this site alone. These are traditional women, who are well over 50, who should be wise matriarchal, understanding figures, and they say the most stupidest things ever against this. Their husbands have let them down. They're just women at the end of the day. But its absolutely maddening at the same time.

So bottom line is , trad brothers, we each have to carve our own lives, make our own path in this world of apostasy. If this involves a woman helping us in producing the next generation in a stable way, that's great. If not, it is the will of God. End of story.

I mean I went to a single-sex school and work in a dominantly male industry so a lot of this makes sense to me anyway. But is there harm in having mixed company settings with families? In tea rooms? On Pilgrimages? 

I get what you're saying but in a community, one will see others in the appropiate setting and one shouldn't swing too far the other way to the point you avoid these appropiate mixed settings

I think a breakup should be clean cut. It's best to not stay in contact or reopen old wounds. Just go your separate ways. Also, if you find yourself breaking up and getting back together repeatedly, that's a bad sign. Your marriage likely will have problems. Try not to blame yourself or the other person, or to be angry or remorseful. Try not to think of all the what ifs. In life, some people get on the bus, and sometimes it's time for them to get off. 
If you dont try, you wont find the one, but once God is telling you to move on, you should make a prudent and firm decision. A lot of things cloud a guy's judgement obviously, like the physical attraction, but you have to say "is there one big thing I can't live with/can't cope with?" Don't think you can change her mind once married. People don't really change. The old expression is "the leopard doesnt change its spots." Make sure you are on the same page with the Faith, with raising children, healthcare decisions, birthing, schedule and living conditions e.g. who is the bread winner, etc. Don't be afraid to talk about these questions in courtship. If she avoid talking about serious things, that's also a bad sign. Also, observe the young lady's mother. She will be a lot like that in your marriage.
