Yeah, but in Utah it spills over into the culture. Sorry that was my sarcasm. I feel better after ranting. I couldn't think of any other place to vent feelings except this forum. This is where I have come to vent some real deep feelings before where religion and church is the topic for LDS members.

Okay... It's Sunday and I'm not going to church today? Why? Because I've moved to a new town and left my old town where I was still welcome in a singles ward and dating a girl that was younger than me. All my friends were in their late twenties and I felt like I was apart of something where age doesn't really matter. I know about the age restrictions with singles wards. I just turned 31 and I'm not returning to any singles ward based on the fact that I'm 31. I also don't feel inclined to go to a family ward because I'm still single and dating and don't want to go to a "midlife" singles ward because I date girls that are younger than me. I've had the most luck and a few relationships where the girl was around 5 years younger. So I'm 31 but only in Utah is this considered midlife. And I think it's jacked-up that they have a cut-off age of 31! So am I a little perturbed? Sure am! Am I still dating a girl that's younger than me? Yeah, even though our relationship has been separated by distance. Think about it though... in my shoes for a second. Where does this all put me!? In no-mans-land! :/

Dating Advice Prior to First Date, Please? I have known about this girl for about six months. She is kinda shy but she's very lively around her close friends. I've only talked to her briefly a few times. Well, we crossed paths the other day and I said hi and she said hello. Then a few seconds later she asked me how I was doing and I said fine but failed to say something back and I was thinking in my head what an idiot I was for not saying something more as I was heading to my next class. Last week I contacted her on Facebook and asked for her phone number and if she was going to be around in April. She gave it to me and I asked her on a date later that night and she accepted. This girl is also about 8 years younger then me. The date is next Wednesday... This is the first time I have asked a girl on a date that I don't know hardly. Usually I become acquainted first. So my question is what is the proper moves to be making up until the official night? Do I need to call her every couple days, text her or just wait until a few days before the date? Do I need to find a way to keep daily contact? That's what my brother says but I am not too sure about that? She going home for Easter... and she's also on Facebook. Any advice? haha!
