Thegreatestthing Posted July 11, 2014 Posted July 11, 2014 (edited) We haven't known each other long but he talks about marriage a lot finally today he said I think the marriage talk is turning you off,it isn't actually I am one of those romantic. Types that would marry on a whim if it felt right ,anyway I think it's because he's dads a mormon that he is like this,is it true that if they date any girl it has to be with marriage clearly in mind etc. Edited July 11, 2014 by Thegreatestthing Moved to spiritual section
todreaminblue Posted July 11, 2014 Posted July 11, 2014 Hey I am a mormon convert and from what i know yes that's true ...but i am not quite sure so i can verify with a long time member before i say positively yes i am however 99 per cent that this is true......marriage is the outcome that would be sought from dating otherwise its friendship.....dating is getting to know each other to see compatability for marriage and they do take it seriously....as it should be.. even before i was a mormon convert i take relationships seriously and want the same for my girls when they are older..........so if i date a guy it is long term i am dating them for......i dated outside the church not long ago ...it didnt work out ..i gave it my best shot ...longer than i should have.....lifestyle wise or beliefs wise we were not a match..... so it is harder for me as a mormon to date outside guidelines that are given for finding happiness in relationships that ultimately end in a life long partnership as i said ill try and verify that for you.....i do know that celibacy is part of dating...........deb...
todreaminblue Posted July 11, 2014 Posted July 11, 2014 ok asked my friend and it isnt different to any other christian dating guidelines....it doesnt have to mean mean marriage ...its teh old fashioned datign guidelines.........its just dating with what i said about celibacy which is abstaining from sex and anything that goes along those lines...which is basic christian dating..but when i date and this is normal i am looking for long term commitment......and or potential....so my experience colored my first post...i apologize for that....deb
Author Thegreatestthing Posted July 11, 2014 Author Posted July 11, 2014 Well he did ask if I was a Virgin in a polite less frank way,he told me tonight that he's not Mormon but he doesn't drink alcohol ,doesn't want to have sex before marriage it seems and still talks about marriage so much so it's kind of confusing. Thank you for your help dreaminblue 1

Thank you for your help dreaminblue you are welcome ......if you feel uncomfortable discussing marriage early and i am assuming you are young considering he asked if you were a virgin ... politely tell him to tone it down a bit and take things a little slower and at your pace......let him know when he confuses you ask him to clarify any confusion you feel with straight forward answers.......and i wish you well....deb
