There are Catholic online singles groups. Know a few people that have met their spouse there (Ave Maria is the name I think).

But what you say about churches (and this covers most churches, not just Catholic) not having much for singles is true. In many ways, young singles are not really wanted or focused on much. For a priest or pastor, having a singles group (like what used to be common) is a pain with little return. Not to mention the chance for scandal if the budding romance goes bad or the couple starts shacking up.

For the rest of the church, young singles are ignored. They don't donate much, and many older people just don't like them. Because of that, you often see few young single people at church on Sunday until they become older married people with kids.

I do remember though, one Sunday near Valentine's Day, a pastor at my old parish gave a great sermon on how to be a chaste Christian single person these days, and how lonely it is. I also remember it made some of the congregation a bit upset.

There's Ave Maria...also catholicmatch.com. I've had profiles on both at various times, but without a lot of luck. Maybe the right person just hasn't signed on yet, I dunno!

That's great! We tend to be a segment of the church population that gets overlooked. I understand why...but it can be hard at times.
