Dating a 15-year old Mormon boy PDF Print E-mail
Written by Nessa

Hi there! I am 15 and I have been dating my Mormon boyfriend for a very long time, he is nearly 16. We live in Florida. I am not Mormon, however, I have actually never been to church so I suppose that makes me Agnostic. My boyfriend is not interested in being a Mormon anymore though, but his parents are very religious. Anyway, his parents found out about our relationship and were very upset, they yelled at him which made him snap, and he told them he doesn't want to be a Mormon. They confiscated all of his possessions, including his phone and don't allow him to go anywhere that often anymore as they are worried he will see me. They only let him do things related to his football or soccer team.... or church. And I feel like, it's making our relationship kind of difficult to maintain, but I do not want things to end because I am in love with him and want to be with him for a long time. I guess my question is, what can I do? Will his parents ever accept things or me? I thought that once they are 16, it's okay and he will be 16 in a month. Thank you!

1. Tough call
I don't know what you can do besides be patient. If you are truly in love then you can wait a little while for things to calm down. 
 
Church guidelines are it is OK to start dating at 16. This does not automatically mean at 16 one can start dating. Also this rule has already been broken since he was dating before he was 16.  
 
He parents are no doubt up set to see him reject the savior like he did. It is a very important thing in our faith for parents to raise there children to love the Lord Jesus Christ, and parent would be upset if there child reject the savior.  
 
I don't think they do not accept you. They are upset with there son and his decision to reject the wise council of the Prophet and they are disappointed in some of the decisions he has made.  
 
I would say let things calm down, let a few months go by to let the dust settle. Then introduce yourself and get to know his parents.  
 
Dating in the LDS Church is a very serious thing, many parents are very weary of letting teenagers to start dating. In our faith dating is strictly a non intimate friendship to get to know someone so you can, prepare for marriage. The rest of the world see dating very differently. 
 
I will keep you in my prayers, know that God loves you and if you seek him for wisdom and council he will help you through this difficult time!
