ElizabethJ25 Posted March 22, 2011 Report Posted March 22, 2011 Hi! I am 25, and am getting baptized very soon. I was dating an LDS guy, and he broke up with me very recently, which really hurt me. I feel like I am considered "old" for LDS standards to not be married. Are there a lot of single LDS guys in AZ around my age? I am not joining the church to meet someone by any means, but I also don't want to be single for life! :) What do you think?!! Quote
Dravin Posted March 22, 2011 Report Posted March 22, 2011 IIRC Arizona has a relatively large representation of LDS amongst it's population which, unless they are all retirees, should mean the odds are better for running into a single LDS man then say... Maine, but it'll very per location. Quote
Dravin Posted March 22, 2011 Report Posted March 22, 2011 If I Recall Correctly. It's just a disclaimer that I'm going of my own understanding and memory instead of say having a demographic study for Arizona at hand. Quote
Wingnut Posted March 22, 2011 Report Posted March 22, 2011 IIRC Arizona has a relatively large representation of LDS amongst it's population which, unless they are all retirees, should mean the odds are better for running into a single LDS man then say... Maine, but it'll very per location.I can vouch for that, since I got the last single good LDS man in Maine. Literally. Quote
rameumptom Posted March 22, 2011 Report Posted March 22, 2011 In Arizona, depending on where you are, there is likely to be Singles Wards in the cities. I suggest you check it out. Where there is no singles ward, there will be a singles group in the stake, and they will definitely want to invite you to their activities. Quote
pam Posted March 22, 2011 Report Posted March 22, 2011 I can vouch for that, since I got the last single good LDS man in Maine. Literally. That's strictly a matter of opinion of course. Quote
blackjacks Posted May 25, 2011 Report Posted May 25, 2011 There are lots of single men there in Az and other close cities. Don't be in a rush to get married although in our church it is VERY hard to be in your mid 20-40's and not married. I have many single LDS male friends in Az who would love to find a good girlfriend.

Vort Posted May 25, 2011 Report Posted May 25, 2011 What is IIRC?!If I recall correctly, it's a four-letter acronym hedging whatever is being said based on potential lapses in memory. But don't quote me on that. Quote
estradling75 Posted May 26, 2011 Report Posted May 26, 2011 I was born and raised in the Phoenix/Mesa area. My ward in North Phoenix currently shares the building with a singles ward. While it as been a long time since my single days the population seems sizable. ASU is a big draw for those around your age Quote
SuperChris Posted June 10, 2011 Report Posted June 10, 2011 As for being too 'old', it just depends on whose opinion you seek. I didn't get married until I was 27, and I am friends with an LDS girl in that area who is 30 and never married. Let me say this: don't worry about it. One of the worst things you can do is to get married for the sake of being married. Quote
