This means first being clear that you want to go on a date. Trust me, though--you will. You would be her back up plan in case she can't find a guy who is a returned missionary, preferably from a prominent LDS family. This is because they gave up the structure of what made them desirable in the first place. Be fruitful and multiply.




It MAY be true that she will not marry him unless he converts. He was also born in Russia during the 80s and did not come to the United States until so we sometimes deal with cultural differences as well as religious. I don't want to come off as needy or clingy but I've never dated someone in this profession before. Initially I thought he would join the church and life would get back on the only track I knew. My nonmember husband and I have been married for almost 18 years. While it's true that Mormons are not one-dimensional and completely predictable, the odds of a successful relationship, given the OP's description of his girlfriend, are slim. I still feel enriched by the contrasts, but in the important things, we have largely come together. The "loneliness" is not an issue for me.
I ran across your post out of desperation. He's now in his 3rd year of a 4 year residency program and is hoping to do a 2 year fellowship next. Before that, you are encouraged to date, but not exclusively. Having seen many examples of the disaster it becomes when a member spouse pushes, coerces, ultimatums the non-member spouse into being baptized, I have very assiduously steered clear of those methods from the start. I love how this applies to ALL marriages.
However, if you are a Catholic guy dating a Mormon girl, then remember that her parents may be averse to it. Twitter did not respond. This is how I felt when I married my exmo husband. Wow just found this blog and for the first time am in mid's feel some support as an MD's wife of 30 years who is socially isolated he has very few friendsgetting despondent, bitter and resentful due to having some expectations which are met with constant disappointment. If she expresses interest in converting, be prepared to talk about your beliefs, and help her find ways to learn about and follow them. Mormon girls are raised to believe their worth is how young they marry and how many kids they have. I would advise you to try to be as understanding as you can of her point of view, because having you world view shattered is very difficult and can take a long time to recover from.
