Let us consider for a moment the properties of that useful lubricant, WD-40. The WD stands for water displacement. In other words, where WD-40 is, water can't be.
So what does this have to do with relationships and marriage? Well, some relationships are like WD-40. They are literally taking up the space in your life that might otherwise be occupied by the pure water of a relationship leading to holy matrimony. These relationships not only are not leading to marriage, but are displacing any relationships which might lead to marriage.
How can you recognize a WD-40 relationship? WD-40 relationships can go on for years with no marriage in sight. If you look at this person...and just don't see marriage material, perhaps due to immaturity, addictions, religious incompatibility, seeming inability to be a good parent, or other reasons, then it's time to stop displacing a relationship which could actually lead to marriage. It's time to break up.

CatholicMatch Women Sound Off On When To Ask For A Date (Satire)
[Satire]
Several CatholicMatch women recently participated in a round-table discussion on the topic of the ideal number of messages which must be exchanged before it is appropriate for a CatholicMatch gentleman to ask for a date.
While the majority of the responses were between 10 and 25, a few of the women on our panel expressed a strong preference for messaging for quite some time before any talk of meeting in person. Lauren from Ohio wouldn't consider meeting anyone who had messaged fewer than 100 times over at least a month. "What kind of a creep would ask a woman for a date before exchanging 100 messages? Would St. Joseph ask Our Lady for a date before messaging at least 100 times? I don't think so!"
A number of the women held up the fictional character of Mr. Darcy from Price and Prejudice by Jane Austen as the ideal CatholicMatch man. As Stella from New Hampshire put it, "Mr. Darcy would never be so brash as to ask for a date before having messaged for weeks and weeks! The guys on CatholicMatch should strive to be more like Mr. Darcy."
Some of the women held the opposing view, believing that the ideal man should step up to the plate and ask for a date sooner rather than later. According to Melissa from Texas, any man who messages more than 4 times without asking for a date isn't even a real man. "He's probably one of those soy boys," she explained. "So many men these days are vegan feminists without enough testosterone left to man up and ask a woman out. If a man doesn't ask me for a date by the 5th message, I block him!" Desiree from Oregon agreed. "I can't imagine St. Joseph dilly-dallying about asking the Blessed Mother for a date," she said. "St. Joseph was a real man!"
All of the women interviewed stated that it was unnecessary to mention these preferences in their profiles. Heather from Missouri summarized the opinion of the group: "He should just know."
Our statistical analysis department was hard pressed to come up with any discernible pattern to the women's preferences. The best they were able to do was to come up with an average number of messages exchanged after which a gentleman may hope not to startle or offend the lady by a request for a date. Their conclusion was that for the best odds a man should message a woman exactly 14.84521943 times before suggesting a meeting--no more and no less.
