Do Mormons date non-Mormons? PDF Print E-mail
Written by Diana   
Tuesday, 05 February 2008
Hi, my family and I are not really devoted to our Christian religion. I'm really interested in a very nice, deep, amart, funny Mormon boy. We seem to have very simillar values. Despite our difference in religion. I'm four months away from being 16. He is already 16. He goes to to Utah every vacation. I've known him since September of last year. As a person I'm really high on keeping good values and being proper with him if we were to ever date. Do I have a chance with him? If so, how do I ask him if he wants to hang out?

12. What about marriage..
Ok, I met a really nice, sweet, boy, we were talking and got to know each other better, we have a lot of things in common. Then, when he had to go, he told me he was mormon. I`m 13 and he`ll be 15 in January. I`m a christian and I was just wondering if I could date him, or if it was wrong. Because, he likes me and I like him.

Mormons are counseled to not date until they are 16. If they choose to date a 15 year old non-mormon that is up to them.

Chelsey, 
 
Mormon youth are asked and encouraged to wait until they are 16 to date. Once they are 16 they can date who they want to. However every individual and family situation are different. Some parents counsel their children to only date other Mormons, but that is something on an individual or family basis. There is an old adage "you marry who you date". So some parents encourage their children to only date mormons.

16. Answer to Chelsey
HI, I dated my husband as a non mormon and i had no intention of joining the church, it was many years later that I was moved to join. We were actually married by a mormon bishop. With our children we allow it to be thier choice when they are old enough if they want to date mormon or non mormon, we have eight and we 4 that date mormon exclusive and 4 that will consider someone outside the church. The only thing I would say is respect who they are and take time to listen to why they practice what they practice. one of our daughters may marry a non memeber however he does go to church with her and does respect her values and helps her uphold them , and says if they marry and have kids he will support them in the LDS church, my seventeen year old is dating a baptist miniters son. They have been great and they alternate churches to go together and are celebrating similiarities and repsectfully understanding the differences but the 2 churches are creating a mixer to allow these kids a chance to get to know each other and build bridges over rivers of ignorance and prejudices... so to answer your question, it can be done successfully if everyone involved is committed to it knowing there can and will be hurdles.

I'm a catholic and this guy that I like is Mormon. He likes me and I like him. The problem is that we are 13 and he has told me about not being able to date, but I'm not sure if that's what he wants to do or if that's what his parents want him to do. I can't straight up ask him, so what do i do

I would ask him if I were you. The worst that can happen is he'll say he can't date you, but if you are respectful and tell him that you know he has a standard and you'll respect him if he decides to not date you, then he won't be offended or anything. He might date you, but he might not. The only way to know is to ask.

20. Answer to Raymon
Some might. Most mormon families have on the average of 3-5 kids - although I do know a smaller subset of families that have 6-10 children. It all depends on the parents. Years ago it was much more common to see larger families than it is today.
