Hey there, I’m 18, a senior, and I have a small problem. I’m falling in love with one of our ward missionaries. I know this is a very inappropriate thing to happen for the one reason that he is on a mission and can’t have feelings like this for me. Let me start from the beginning. Ever since he first got here we have had a very strong connection. We can sit and talk to each other for the longest time and it seems like time hasn’t past. My dad is the bishop so they are over quite a bit. Whenever a dinner appointment cancels on them they come over and my dad has regular meetings with them at our house. Also the past 2 transfers he has been here they have done our come follow me lesson with us. I catch him staring at me quite a bit and I reciprocate. I know this whole situation is very wrong, but I’ve prayed about it and it feels so right. Here’s the crazy part, he is enrolled at and going to Utah state. I’m going to the same school! Utah state has been my dream school for a few years and I’ve prayed about going there and I know that’s where I’m suppose to be, I’ve known for awhile. When I heard from him that’s where he’s going I almost lost it. And the timing is unreal. About the time I’ll be starting my first semester he’ll be getting back from his mission. Anyways y’all, I’m really confused and I don’t know what to do. Please send help and advice my way.

Hi Alay,

Sounds like a pretty simple issue.

1. Don't share any of this with him while he's on his mission.  Maybe mention that you're going to Utah State too, and that you guys should look each other up when you're both there.
2. When he's done with his mission and you're both there, look each other up and see what happens.

Anything not on this list that you might want to do, is pretty much on the "don't do" list.   As long as he's on his mission, don't flirt, no more making goo-goo eyes.  It might feel right, but it is not right right now.  It might be right later when he's (say it with us) not on his mission any more.

Happy being patient and waiting for the right time!
