Mormon Dating Culture (Male Perspective) 

My boyfriend asked the day we started dating if it was okay for boyfriend and girlfriend to hug. I'm beaming. 😃

I agree. God is WAY bigger than we think and He can find us a soul mate anywhere on Earth, even in a field!

ArtLover Animation I totally agree!

Colby Ferrin hi

I'm happy for you! Gives me hope as I'm 31 myself and still looking forward to the day I can find my companion. :)

I personally think that the LDS dating culture sucks and dating in general sucks butt too

Thank you for this hope. Im a convert and I really like someone with the same age difference and I didnt know how to handle these feelings. I feel like younger guys would want girls their age in this lds life. Here's hoping!!

@@krsantiago23 not sure where you are from but don't give up hope. Keep your efforts going. Look outside of the immediate area you live. My wife is from the U.S. and I am from the U.K. so the dating culture was different.

Both the person I like and I are from the US but we both live in different states. He reached out to me and we've been chatting since. I wasn't looking to date really since my year isn't up yet and won't be til early next year but he truly makes my heart flutter and brings joy into my life and he says he feels the same. We've talked about our age difference and it does worry us both. Was there anything negative about your age people talked about?.

Tell me about it

@ I think she is saying maybe her ethnic culture's views on dating may differ from that of the church. Which would be totally relatable for me as a Jamaican Lds. Church guidelines is date many people but in Jamaican if you date a bunch of people at once you get looked at funny.

@@jae-jdiscovers4322 I'm surprised the rastafarians put up with LDS missionaries banging on their doors trying to convert them

Yup...basically hahah!!

Let’s go out for brunch and admire the 🌊 ocean.

Hey 3 Mormons, you guys got a video on humility I can share with Monica? (haha I loved how it turned out btw, just trying not to toot my own horn too much ;) ) And yes, actually, I'd love to have you be in an episode specifically about using dating apps while being Mormon...thoughts 3 Mormons? Monica round two?

Totally, yes on round two. 👏🏻 Let's be honest, I think our song is the only entry in the Best Mormon Hymn/Rap category right now. So it don't take too much horn tooting to say we win. 🤓

I made a doody

Eliza Briggs Haha girl, just wait for the women’s perspective episode coming up soon 😘

That's fine in the end whoever started the relationship doesn't matter. It's 2020 and we are equal.

The struggle is real

A woman is not supposed to ask the guy out and why are you people always asking me stupid personal questions about wether or not I am dating anyone, inviting me to go to church to meet girls and trying to set me up with them without my consent? I am an Aromantic asexual and I do not feel romantic or sexual attraction to anyone, why do you people even care if I wanna stay single , not get married or have children? You should stay in your own lane and mind your own business, stop worrying about my lifestyle and start worrying about your own

Yeah most of the time men prefer to be the pursuer and women prefer to be pursued. It's kind of a biology thing

I think you should pray hard, and talk to your bishop and parents about it. If you are praying with real intent, you'll know what Heavenly Father wants you to do. If Heavenly Father wants you to serve a mission, He will let you know. If He wants you to date someone instead, He will also let you know. Have faith that you will get your answer! "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you" (Matthew 7:7) Even if you have your call, you might be prompted to pursue a different direction in your life. And that's ok! My mom knows a girl who had her call, but then someone asked her to marry him- and she accepted because she felt like she was supposed to. Pray, and let the spirit guide you.

Probably a good idea , dating is overrated, I am an aromantic asexual and I don't have to bear the burden of wanting to date and feeling like a jerk because I'm single , you can be perfectly happy being single, you don't need a girlfriend in order to be happy , dating brings more pain then joy and it's just not worth it

If you don't enjoy hearing that then don't go to church, you shouldn't have to put up with people harassing you about that, they should shut their traps and mind their own business

How are things going now Sander?

Check your friendzone

I know it may seem like a lot to ask but those rules help everything else fall into place, even as silly and insignificant as it seems! If you have literally any question let me know and we can talk! :)

SMOSBY Stintsfire the quality was baf

Bad*

3 Mormons dang okay

Nova Franklin Love that part hahhaa

@@SaintsUnscripted I made a doody

Lol that is retarded

Your happiness and sense of worth shouldn't be dependent on weather or not you are dating anyone , you can be happy even if you're single , don't let the church put an unnecessary amount of pressure on you to date and get married and breed like a rabbit , just because you have those things does not mean that it will make you happy , there are people who are married and have children that are completely miserable

Karen Olson I wish haha

AzureAnie Soon!!!

JOEY MOFFETT Thank you for your concern. The microphone on the desk isn't actually the microphone we use. We've got some better mics set up above the hosts :)

@@SaintsUnscripted I don't like your video or your pointy beak nose

I'm an ace too, I hate sex , I am also aromantic which means that I hate dating too

No, but we're encouraged to date those with similar standards to ours. Many church members have a goal of marrying in the temple, which is only possible with another church member, but marrying outside the church isn't banned :)

It lives in a bigger tank and is only in that one for the filming of the show.

Jim Caponzi I feel for you, brother. I am afraid you've never actually heard Monson preach and testify of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He certainly never said Christ died a sinner. Instead he preached that Christ was perfect - Our Redeemer.

Jim Caponzi Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior. Not a prophet. Not a pope. ❤️

Jim Caponzi amen my brother and May God bless you and yours

Sadly, Jim Caponzi, you are gravely mistaken; however, let's assume you are right for a minute - the Catholic Church is Christ's true Church on Earth and the Pope is the Lord's official mouthpiece for the entire human race. Meaning, the Pope receives revelation from God. Sounds legit, right? Based on your answers, I'm assuming you'll agree with those statements. Well, the Scriptures (and we'll use the New American Bible, which is solely used by the Catholic Church and recognized as official canon for that Church) will prove without a doubt that the Catholic Church (and the concept of Papal revelation) a farce. Catholic history/catechism states that Peter was the first pope (first Bishop of Rome). When he was crucified, the papacy (church authority) was handed over to Linus in 67 AD (Linus is recognized by the Catholic Church as the first Roman Pope). Well, if Linus was the head of the Church (and therefore the Lord's mouthpiece), why was John receiving revelations directly from Jesus Christ on what to do with the Church while he was exiled on the Isle of Patmos (hundreds of miles away from Rome and the Catholic Church)? I mean, it's no secret, these revelations are recorded in the Book of Revelation. If Linus was the head of Christ's true Church and the Lord's mouthpiece, shouldn't he have received those revelations? Well he didn't and we can read those revelations (even in the NAB) that were given to John thereby proving that Christ didn't recognize Linus as the rightful successor to Peter. If Linus wasn't chosen by Christ to receive those revelations, then the Church Linus led wasn't Christ's true Church. Amos 3:7 states that only the prophets receive revelation, something that Linus (and every successor all the way to the current pope) is not. The Bible (and Christ) don't lie. John received those revelations, Linus did not. Christ told John what to do with the churches, not Linus. Catholic Church is false. Cheers.

Exactly

That's very true, it's not real

Agreed

I'm really sorry to hear that, dude. I too have had frustrations with LDS girls, too. And I'm a white guy, so you're not alone. We need more Asians in the church! I'm currently studying Chinese and Japanese! Hope my message finds you well!

My friend got married at 50. Your fine, don't give up.

Hey I'm an aro ace and I'm actually quite happy to be single and childless and I'm 41 years old, be happy that you have your freedom , dating, marriage and child rearing are overrated and it doesn't necessarily equal happiness , just because the church puts pressure on you to do those things that doesn't mean that you have to conform , I personally don't see the value in those kinds of lifestyles and I think that they bring more pain then joy but that's just me though

@@eatmyassmoore764 thanks for your comment. Funnily enough I'm ace as well but I'm heteroromantic. Being ace in the church is really tough, how do you find it?

@@Shaunography it is tough but I am not a member of the church and I live in Provo Utah and all I hear LDS people talking about is dating , and what's worse is that they try to pry into my business about whether or not I am dating anyone and giving unsolicited offers to set me up with someone and it sucks
