It seams like an odd request, but my 17 year old daughter has given up on finding a LDS boy friend. In a discussion with her she said it couldn’t be done. But enough babbling from a protective father. What can I do and <span style=\'font-family:Optima\'>who can Help find good young men that can prove that the priesthood of God tempers "boys" into men.</span>

Tell her to convert someone :) That's what I did :P

Seriously though, when she turns 18 shouldn't she be old enough for the YSA? I was 18 and there were plenty of YSA men in the program who were age appropriate for me.

I'd put her in the closet and lock the door till she is 21. That is what I am going to do with my daughter soon. She is too pretty to be let loose on the streets. She needs to be protected.

Institute should be available in your college...also...there should be some kind of student ward available....within your stake....ask your stake president what is available for his youth....and if there is nothing bite his rearend until he does something...

Our Bishop organized a youth group himself when there wasn't anything going on....so I know it can be a leader who can make some changes if changes have to be made.

Does she have a job? Do you have relatives who live in Utah? Send her there for a couple of months.

I don't know where you live or I would give you more...

Depending on where you're from, there honestly may not be all that many LDS people close enough to her age who could be attractive to her in any way... you can't expect mere goodness to be enough, and despite what many say, physical attraction has to be there to spark things, and in my experience, that is a very rare thing to come across a good person who also attracts you. Let her be her own person, but make sure you do all you can to teach her what is right through daily family prayer and scripture study, etc. Might seem over simplified, but going to church, reading scriptures, having family home evening, having family prayer, and basically living the gospel, coupled with bearing your testimony in a casual way to her, will probably be the best thing you can do for her at the moment.
