I am 40, single and never been married. I lived most of my life in the midwest and unless I wanted to date a sibling, there was not much to pick from. 
 
My only choice is to date non-LDS because I live where there are no single LDS women unless I am interested in divorced women with kids or someone that is severely unbalanced. So, I date non-members instead.

my boyfriend is a mormon and that has caused us a lot of problems in the past two years we have been dating. He came to a christian college with me and now we are both starting to fight a lot over religion. I don't necessarily agree with what he believes and if i ever got married and had kids that i wouldn't want them to believe the same. I love him though but he doesn't want to marry me because i am not allowed in the temple. I do not completely understand why religion has to be a separating factor but i believe that since marriage is hard enough as it is it would be better to date someone that believes the same as you because i regret ever getting involved because he causes me so much pain especially since he really doesn't follow what he believe and still insists on believing that way anyway. so save yourself the trouble and don't date them unless you are really prepared for a marriage full of hardships.

Okay, so basically I am a sophomore in a new high school and I've liked this Mormon guy for about 5 months now. I recently have been talkin to him a lot more and I've started to understand what he's all about. I think he likes me too, but I'm not sure. I have talked with him and a bunch of his Mormon friends about converting, and I would be willing to do that for him. One of the things I'm most worried about is the fact that he's a senior and 2 years older than me. Also that I'm not 15 yet and I don't know if that will make him not be interested in dating me. But my main question is that will he be turned away because of a few bad choices I have made in the past? I really want to change and be a good person, but how do I make him understand that?? I would extremely appreciate it if someone could help me.

Hi Misty, I'm currently in th same situation as you.(kind of). I met a girl and she turned out to be Mormon. We hit it off right away. We became great friends then began to date. We fell in love with each other. I love her family and she loves mine. For a time, life was magical. I could honestly say she is my other half. The person I would spend my ethernity with. She really didn't push the whole Mormon thing till things got real serious. She broke up with me when I told her I wouldn't be baptized. It's been a year and it still hurts get out of bed. The funny thing is now she is dating another Non-Mormon guy. It really hurts.

Hey let's say that if a non mormon person (for instance maybe he's a Methodist) was to or wanted to marry a mormon, would he have to convert to Mormonism, or can the couple pull their differences aside and have a successful marriage?

John, 
 
No. There is nothing to force anyone to join the Church when marrying a Mormon. Becoming a member of the church is a very personal decision based on their belief of the gospel truths and their willingness to adhere to the teachings. Mormons do not force or compel others to join the Church.

A girl I like is a Mormon and she's turning 16 at the end of July. But I won't be 16 until december. Can she date me if I'm only 15?

I am baptist,but am falling for a mormon boy who is 15 going on 16 ( i am 14 and he told me he likes me). I understand he is not allowed to date until the age of 16, but do you believe that me dating him would cause a lot of relationship problems?null
