Is it ok to ask a catholic priest for dating advice?

i'm close to my chaplain. there is a girl i like but the situation is very complicated. i'm not talking about sex or even getting married...just what i should do under some very challenging circumstances.Is it ok to ask a catholic priest for dating advice?
Absolutely. Priests serve as counselors to couples and help them with establishing healthy relationships. They provide a objective view as they are not the ones in the relationship. They have married many couples, and they know which relationships will work.





They guide us spiritually and help us determine our roles in a relationship. So yes... I would ask a Priest for advice and direction.

----You are wrong. Just because the Priest is not in a relationship does not mean that he is not more than qualified to answer on the topic. For instance, does a doctor need to have physically gone through having cancer to be qualified to treat a cancer patient? NO! As such, a Priest does not have to be dating to provide someone with sound advice.Is it ok to ask a catholic priest for dating advice?
Absolutely. As a celibate, the priest is able to give completely moral and unbiased advice. He is the pastor for his parish so he can give them advice.
Yes. Priests are well trained in counseling in all kinds of situations. Obviously some of them are better at it than others. If you are close to this priest and have confidence in him there should be no problem.
The Chaplain can give you sound moral advice that pertains to your relationship. If that's relevant then go ahead and seek the advice of your Chaplain friend.
Of course it's fine to ask your priest. Most priests dated girls when they were teens and young adults, before they entered the seminary. So your priest will more than likely have some very good advice.
Sure.





Most priests are trained counselors with hundreds of hours of counseling people in the real world.





With love in Christ.
It is fully OK to ask.


It is not OK to ask and complain because you don't like the answers he gives you... ;)
I think you should ask a pastor instead... but yes priests are supposed to answer whatever questions you may have.
depends on the quality of the answer you want!
Hey dear ..


Instead of asking this there , you can try it there on a free dating services web site. where lot of lot of singles like you are dating with their dating partners.
Catholicism isn't Christian. They worship the pope when they should be worshiping Jesus, man made rules, teach works for salvation, added books to the Bible, worship statues and loads of other idolatry. It can't save. Only Jesus can. Please pray a sincere prayer with all of your heart admitting to Jesus you are a sinner. Have full faith that His blood pays off all of your sins and accept His gift of everlasting life. I pray that God blesses you with peace. Amen.
No -- Going to a preist for dating advice isn't a good... it's like going up to a broke person and asking them for finacial advice !!





But -- a Pastor on the other hand could help you out !!

Why would you want to? Not trying to be rude, but catholic priests are not suppose to be in relationships or anything similar.. In my opinion people learn through experiences
Lol, you'd get as much help from asking someone from a comic book costume convention.
