Just_A_Guy Posted July 15, 2019 Report Share Posted July 15, 2019 (edited) Love is something that grows when it’s fed, and starves when it isn’t. Stop feeding it. Focus on preparing for and serving a mission, or finding some other worthy cause to pursue.

Emmanuel Goldstein Posted July 15, 2019 Report Share Posted July 15, 2019 I was in love with a red head at college before my mission. We dated for months and I thought she was the one. When I told her I had gotten my mission call she told me she didn’t want to wait for a missionary, and she said she had a boyfriend back home and was planning to return home after the semester. My heart was broken and I angrily told her it was over then. Never talked to her again and after my mission I found a better woman and she and I have been happily married for 24 years. Sometimes things seem lost until you follow what God wants for you. Move on and serve your mission.

I have serious family issues that unfortunately makes serving a mission very hard for me, at least in this time of my life, but im thinking about strechting myself out to the maximum so i can serve before 26 years old.

There ya go. That's how you get over rejection. You can't be obsessing over marriage and kids when you're planning on serving a mission. Here's another one from my 15-year-old kid - "there's no point in having a girlfriend when you have to pick up your girlfriend in the family van with your mother driving". Of course, this is not about having a driver's license and a car. Rather, this is about being prepared to actually be good boyfriend/husband material. Are you temple-worthy? Are you a good human being that would be an asset to a woman? Do you know the basics of maintaining a good, Godly relationship with a woman? Do you earn a stable income? Do you have a good education and skillset that can be used to support a family? Do you know your strengths and weaknesses that has the potential to make you a good/bad boyfriend, husband, or father? Can you afford housing? Do you know basic carpentry/plumbing/electrical skills to maintain such housing? Etc. etc. etc. Be prepared. Then when she shows up, you're going to be ready.
