  • OP here, I first met this girl just over 4 months ago. At that time she suggested for me to come to the indult. She also started university this year so I am worried she has forgotten about me or found someone else.

    I was originally going to wait for the next time she came to my chapel believing it to be more proper and scandalous if I went to hang around the indult but this week I have been very restless, it's been especially painful, I don't think I can wait any longer. I am going to go see her this Sunday, I just don't know what mass time she goes to. So I will go to my earliest mass option for my Sunday obligation then wait around the courtyard of the indult, hopefully she is there and hopefully she hasn't forgotten about me.

    I regret not getting her contact details when I met her but I didn't understand what I was feeling until she left.
    Yeah, man. There is no "I have more time". You have to act now or upon that very opportunity. Be like a cheetah. Focus. Commit. Jump. Accelerate. Engage.

    Thanks for your encouragement, in the past whenever I have been in love with someone they have always rejected me, this has made it much more difficult to open up and tell the ladies that I am interested. Also as the day draws closer and closer my anxiety and nerves build up. It's quite low now (similar to a small sense of impending doom) but on Sunday I fear that I may be shaking/sweating before I even get to my mass let alone her chapel. My melancholic temperament doesn't help either. So I really do appreciate your prayers and kind words.

    Currently having a lot of annoying thoughts

    "What if she says no"
    "What if her parents say no"
    "What if her parents ask me why I don't attend the indult, and they reject me because of my beliefs"
    "What should I tell her?"
    "Should I confess my love or just that im interested in her and ask her if she's interested in me"
    "Should i talk to her or her parents first"
    "Should I tell her parents privately that I love her and want to help her get into heaven"

    I think I am just going to be authentic, sincere and frank. I hope her parents appreciate it, I want to do things my way. I won't have any regrets this way, if she likes me then great, or not then I will just accept it as God's will (even though it will hurt alot). I am a man, I know how things SHOULD be done, so I am going to do that regardless of what others think or say.

    I would suggest asking for her number and simply saying you are interested in courting her.  Too much too soon might scare her away.  

    And better to know sooner rather than later if she is interested or not because if she isn't then you can start the process of moving on.

    Prayers for you.  Please let us all know how it goes. :pray:

    Ok, my emotions are a bit difficult right now but your words are probably a good idea. I don't have work this Saturday so I am going to need to distract myself for an entire day somehow because thinking about it makes me over think it.

    Not sure how this will work out, but if you do this I would wait until after she comes out of church.  Otherwise, she might invite you to come in with her.  Also, I would advise you to not come on too strongly.  Just mention that you were hoping to meet up with her again, and that it seemed this was the only way you could do it. Good luck!

    Alright I have 2 potential options here.

    1.
    Go to my early mass then take 20 minutes to get to indult, i would be getting to the indult 1 hour earlier than their 9:30 Sung mass (i think she is in the choir so she most likely will be at this mass). I would have to wait around somewhere.

    Or 2.
    Go to my 9am mass and get to the indult around 10:30. I won't have to worry about being asked to go into their mass but I don't know how long their sung mass is so it's possible I miss her.

    Sorry mistake on 1. I would arrive there roughly 40 minutes before their sung mass not 1 hour.

    I usually attend an "indult" Mass as you call it, at one of two different diocesan parishes.  Both are High Masses (sung Mass with incense, and the Aspergus rite) lasting about one and half hours.  If you are arriving one hour after the Mass began, I don't see how you could miss anyone.  Even if their Mass lasts only an hour (I don't see how that is possible), people will still be visiting after Mass.

  • Pray to the Angels for help.  Hers and yours.  And remember slow and steady wins the race.

    As for Saturday.  Do you have something physical you like to do?  You need to make plans to do that.  The only way to keep thoughts at bay is to be doing something.  Maybe deep clean your spaces in your home.
    1 Corinthians: Chapter 13 "4 Charity is patient, is kind: charity envieth not, dealeth not perversely; is not puffed up; 5 Is not ambitious, seeketh not her own, is not provoked to anger, thinketh no evil;"

  • I am leaning more towards option 2, that way I won't have to worry about being asked to attend mass if someone asks. However option 1 gives me the possibility of talking to her before mass as well as after.
