bigboss28 Posted July 8, 2010 Report Posted July 8, 2010 So glad I finally found an active Mormon board on the net! I first became aware of the LDS church when I became interested in a Mormon girl in one of my college classes. We've been sort of dating for a while, now, and she's just awesome to spend with, but there are some things she does that seem really weird. She doesn't like to talk about her faith, so I don't really know anything about it! On our first date, we went out to a cafe. I was going up to the counter to get us drinks and I asked her what she wanted. She said all she wanted was a bottle of water. I thought she might just be trying to be polite because she knows I'm a college kid and I don't have a lot of money, but I wanted to impress her so i got us both grande lattes. When I got back she looked at me really funny and didn't even touch her drink! I felt like an idiot so I went back to get her her bottle of water, and then things went smoothly from there. The most recent time we went out (probably like the sixth time), I tried to kiss her goodnight but she just swung away away from me and mumbled goodnight before she shut the door in my face. Are Mormons allowed to kiss? Is there a special way that you need to do it if you're going to kiss a mormon?? Thanks in advance, everyone!!! -BigBOSS Quote
Syphax Posted July 8, 2010 Report Posted July 8, 2010 (edited) Are you sure she's LDS? Perhaps she's not and there was just a misunderstanding. Or maybe she's an angle in disguise. Edited July 8, 2010 by Syphax Quote
Syphax Posted July 8, 2010 Report Posted July 8, 2010 In any case, perhaps you should just try talking to her openly about it. Openness and honesty are the most important things in a relationship. Don't give up if she shuts you out. You can find other ways back in. Quote
confuzzled Posted July 8, 2010 Report Posted July 8, 2010 Yes we are allowed to kiss. She however may have made a choice not to kiss ..... its a personal choice. Ask her...talk to her.... you may be surprised by what she says. Good Luck! Quote
Moksha Posted July 8, 2010 Report Posted July 8, 2010 She probably had no idea what a latte was but she knew she didn't want to drink any alcohol. Quote
Hemidakota Posted July 8, 2010 Report Posted July 8, 2010 What? Swapping spit on the first date? Just kidding... Welcome to the forum... Quote
Onhech Posted July 9, 2010 Report Posted July 9, 2010 Some of those comments are confusing me... (alcohol and latte? Why question is she is LDS (Mormon))Mormons don't drink coffee hence the ex-nay on the Latte. Kissing is a go. The one thing you should know about dating Mormons is the doctrine of Eternal Marriage:We believe in civil marriages, but we also believe that when a man and a woman are married by the proper authority they be together in this life and the next. This is something that is generally desirable for those in the faith, but to have this done both parties must make the promise with God. Both must be baptized members and living up to the promises they made at baptism (why make MORE promises if you're not keeping the ones you already have made).This girl may really like you and just not want to get into a serious relationship because she wants to be married to someone for eternity. Anyhow welcome to the forum, if you really want to have a good summery of the religion go to Mormon.org - Home there are movies that you can watch, information about the church, a lot of free material you can order, or chat to representatives online. It's a good stop to make. I hope to see you around. Quote
