Just discern anyway. I joined a diocesan seminary a while back, and I'm not sure how it works in American seminaries, but the parishian life is quite lackluster. Religious orders tend to be full of debauchery. All the Franciscans do is eat. The Dominicans larp St Thomas so badly they forget that their order is meant to preach. I have more examples, but I digress. Joining the priesthood because you can't see yourself getting a girlfriend is a bad idea, it just means you considered the priesthood an option in life, not the sacred vocation that it is. You will get filtered eventually just because you initially joined as an involuntary celibate. Even if they do accept you, they will eventually discern that you're not up to code if holiness is not your top priority.
