Outcast Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 If she's a strict Mormon, she won't date you. They're supposed to marry Mormons. Link to post Share on other sites
HokeyReligions Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 Well, look at it this way; if she wants to date you then you can date as many other mormons as you want at the same time with no repurcussions! If you are in Utah, check out her family -- you may need to be a cousin or uncle in order to date her! Link to post Share on other sites

clandestinidad Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 Its hard to answer your question, really. A lot of people associate with a certain religion and/or denomination, but do not hold to the teaching very strictly...or they take it to the extreme...its all such a personal thing, so unless you ask HER you wont truly know what she believes and how it would affect her dating life.

Author bikerboy410 Posted March 5, 2006 Author Share Posted March 5, 2006 Thx for the advice but can someone give me some of there bealiefs. Or what else would be good or bad Link to post Share on other sites
Outcast Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 Why not read up on it at a Mormon site? http://www.mormon.org/ http://www.mormon.org/learn/0,8672,1598-1,00.html Basically, their belief is that a guy named Joseph Smith was given a document by an angel about how to live written on some golden plates which have never been seen again after he fell and hit his head. Not only can you not have sex before marriage, but you can't even stay in the same dormitory. And you have to avoid caffeine. So if you have any hopes of going out for a Coke and a snog after, forget this gal. Link to post Share on other sites
clandestinidad Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 Mr Smith was also instructed where he could find a particular pair of 'rose-colored glasses' with which to decipher the encoded phrases on tablets, which he was instructed to find at a different location...I'm forgetting right now another specific item he was supposed to find somewhere else..... Most people (even Mormans themselves, b/c then they'd probably be turned off from the religion) dont know that the Morman faith teaches the following: That if you are a male, and 'good enough' throughout your life, you can have your own planet after you die, and you can have any friends/family there as you desire. whooo-hooooo!!!!

Guest Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Mormons can date at 16 but are usually advised to not be physical in relationships. They also don't drink or smoke. Every religion can seem odd and strange (have you heard of those crazy Catholics that don't let the heads of their congregation get married)...it is just a matter of what we are used to. I would recommend you talk to this girl and ask her about her beliefs. You are looking into dating a person, not a religion. If you like her, then date her, but realize that you will probably need to learn about her faith and that you may need to adjust the things you do or don't do together.

Author bikerboy410 Posted March 6, 2006 Author Share Posted March 6, 2006 Ok so I dont plan on having any sexual relations with her, but its ok to hold her hand and hug and kiss and be close right? Link to post Share on other sites
ratzskinakie Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 Hey man, I lived in Utah my whole life so listen to me. Many mormon girls don't care about your religion, many I meet are just like any other girls in the world, many are different just like us... Though however there is the handfull of them who are more strict, and depending on location there could be more or less of them. Normaly if they seem too innocent and too nice, then I would avoid dating them just cause its just to wierd for me. If they are out of state mormon (don't reside in utah), they are more likely be normal, and look at her friends, you can learn alot about a person by looking at their friends. Though I advice not getting involved too much in their religion (if you get involved with a mormon girl), i mean its your life and you can do what you want. But I been down that road and let me tell you its not worth it. Link to post Share on other sites

I can't speak for this specific girl, but yes - holding her hand, hugging, and kissing her would probably be fine. You may just want to talk to her and ask if she feels comfortable with kissing, etc. Link to post Share on other sites
