hey everyone.. so I have a question.
I am 18 and my boyfriend of almost 2 years is getting ready to leave on his mission soon. We are both really excited for the amazing experience that he is going to have, and i fully encourage him in going. I am going to wait for him, he is the best thing that has ever happened to me and there is no doubt that I can wait for him while he is gone. In his mind, "waiting" means no dating at all. and whenever I mention something about going on a date or two while he is gone, he gets upset. I don't know what to do, he thinks that by me dating for fun while he is gone, that ill just forget about him. He can't stand the thought of me being out with another guy. I can understand where he is coming from. But I don't know what to do. Are there girls out there who don't date at all while they missionaries are out? And what about the girls who do date? How did your missionaries feel about that? Did it end in a Dear John? Or did you wait the full two years and get married?
Please let me know! I would love to hear some advice from someone else other than my parents.
if anyone knows of any church quotes or talks from the first presidency or the 12 about this subject..
would really be helpful!
