We go to Irish pubs all the time after work and our group includes Protestants and atheists, idiot. |

| Do you live near a knights of Columbus chapter? If so, does it have a bar and events? The knights are catholic. I occasionally hit the bar at the one near my house because several friends are members and I know the bartender from his previous job. Sometimes there are guys there watching sports. |

| Enroll your kids at Mater Dei or Gtown prep and flirt with the coaches or parents. Or sign your kid up for sports in North Bethesda. |

Go to churhc in an area that tends to have single people, like DuPont Circle.
Also St Barts has a "rock music" mass at 8pm Sundays, they're in Bethesda and it draws a younger crowd (younger.. for church I mean). There's also a few younger priests who have bands that perform at a few bars in the area. If you check CUA (Catholic Univ) website, you may find the details there. Obviously the priests aren't eligible, but it draws the right crowd. |

| I’m a Catholic woman in my late 40s. I’ve been married for 16 years and with my husband for 19, so it’s been a long time since I’ve dated. And my parish in the suburbs has mostly families or much older couples. When I was single and lived in the city, though, I remember seeing information about Theology on Tap in my parish bulletin. I never attended one but it was a meet up for Catholic singles - appetizers and drinks followed by some type of a speaker I think. It definitely was focused on young adults - 21 to maybe 40. But, I wonder if there might be something similar for older adults. You could try reaching out to that group to ask. There might also be a meet up group for widowed Catholics or you could try volunteering with Catholic Charities. |

| The Catholics are so in Maryland. Men might be more likely to be at the Latin mass. |

check out the Supreme Court--there are some real keepers there. |

| OP, here, and I've recently learned that St. Charles in Arlington has a 35+ singles ministry. I'm a mid-50s widow. Next event is mid-June, and I'm wondering whether to RSVP. I have found that 55+ usually means 80; I have no idea what 35+ actually means. Anyone with knowledge of this ministry? |

I have since left the area, but I used to receive the Arlington Catholic Herald in the mail every month. They always had a blurb for some older singles social group in there.
Also, Catholic Match is a sausage fest for the most part and a bunch of profiles of women in the Phillipines looking to get a spouse visa so the odds are heavily in your favor. |

OP - Met my husband while working in DC after graduating from at GWU's weekly mass. There was a mixed group attending of graduate students, single professionals and a few married couples with very young children. A couple of ellows actually ran an Irish bar! These in addition to undergrads. However, this group had a loose social group.
Today I would check out Holy Trinity in Georgetown! |
