A little more info. I was on a site called findyourspot.com. It is a site on which you answer a bunch of questions about the type of place you are hoping to live in, and they give you about 20 towns in the U.S. that you should consider. 4 of the ones I got are in Utah. They are: Ogden Provo-Orem Salt Lake City Springville

Hi, my name is Tom, I am not a Mormon, I am a practicing Catholic, but I am interested in learning about the Mormon faith and discussing both of our faiths together. I have been considering a move to Utah and if that does happen I would like to not be totally ignorant of the Mormon culture before I get there, so... here I am!

So I've long been hoping to move out West (I live in NY currently) and Utah has long been one of the states I've been looking at the closest. A little about me, I am a male, 26 years old and single. I am a practicing Catholic and I am very conservative. I actually think that culturally I could fit in well in Utah because from what I read the values of the Mormon community that dominates the state seems to be very similar to my own, for instance I am intensely pro-life and I believe that marriage is between a man and a woman and ONLY a man and a woman. I do worry though if our differences in theology might cause a rift and some trepidation on behalf of the people who would be my neighbors (as well as my self on occasion). I also wonder if my status as a non-Mormon would harm my prospects when it comes to woman. Any ways, thanks for any advice. I am especially hoping to hear from Mormons living in Utah.
