I'm dating a non-mormon and we've been going out for 6 months and are basicly sure that we'll get married. I don't think religion should matter if the other person is fine with your decisions about God or whatever/whoever you worship. If his parents have a problem with the two of you seeing eachother then that shouldn't stop you. Some mormon parents are strict about what their children do and how they uphold church standards and they are afraid of 'outside church' relationships because they think the world is 'bad'. You could try to show the parents that you are a good person. I don't think that you should give up on him just because of his religion. If he's up for it, give the relationship a chance. You shouldn't pass up the opportunity. But most of all. DO NOT convert ONLY to win the boy. Find out what the religion is about, talk to the missionaries, read the Book of Mormon, pray about it, and decide for yourself if you think you should join. Don't make it based on a guy.

cutiepie12335 answered Monday November 8 2004, 7:18 pm: DO NOT, I REPEAT DO NOT BECOME MORMON!! there is a lot hidden in the religion that people dont find out untill way way to deep and far into it, like things such as they believe that you will get your own planet become ruler of it and get 70 virgins, its somin weird like that....umm....ok jus a lil weirdand then, they also believe jesus was just another prophet and they say they believe in the bible with another book added on, if they believed in the bible they would believe that jesus is the son of god, not just nother prophet, its really weird and complicated, and then on top of that, you should never i repeat NEVER EVER EVER EVER change your self for a guy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SuddenlyFem answered Monday November 8 2004, 2:59 pm: By all means do not become mormon. Their basis of belief is that jesus walked america at one point and time and conversed with the indians. I personally think they are morons but hey opinions are like ass holes. Anyways how old is this guy and how old are you if you are 16 and above and so is he then whats stopping you. And if your not then wait untill you can drive and go out. Is he a mormon? Converting to a different religion just to date someone is not exactly the most brilliant idea. You will figure something out he should talk to his parents. And if his parents dont understand then who wants to talk to them??? [ SuddenlyFem's advice column | Ask SuddenlyFem A Question ]
OcherryfaerieO answered Monday November 8 2004, 12:07 am: Well, i'm mormon too... (or techinically LDS: Latter-day saint) so i think I'll try to help! Well first of all... unless you and him are both 16 it's DEFINATELY a no go. We believe in not dating until 16, so that's important to know. Also, i'd talk to him, see if it's just rumors that his parents won't let him date non-LDS people. If it really is true, then i would suggest asking him if you could go to church on day with him... i have to warn you it is 3 hours, so it's kind of long, but you go to three different meetings too (sacrament [which is the main part of church], then Class [with the guys and girls of the same age], then young men or young women's [depending on what gender you are, lol]) going to church wil definately help his parents grow on you, and if you become LDS and get baptizied than it's even better! of course you should remember that you choice to become LDS shouldn't be based on just wanting to be able to date your friend. It should be based on if you accpet the gospel or not. If you want to convert, you need to understand all that mormans stand for, and all their priniples. make the decisions based on what you feel in your heart, and what your consience tells you! and also talk to your friend! he would be more than happy to teach you more about his religion, and can arrange for others (with more LDS knowledge) to talk to you about becoming LDS. i think you should go for this guy, and if you feel for him (and the LDS church) strongly enough than don't be afriad to convert! If you need more info check out LDS.org, or AIM me, and also feel free to ask me anymore questions! I really hope i helped you!
lovableRIDER4130 answered Sunday November 7 2004, 10:41 pm: First of all, if the boy really likes you he wouldn't allow his mormonism to get in the way. You are still young and religion is lame. DO NOT convert to mormonism, it is a really strict religion. Many rules and I don't think your parents would allow it. If you really want to be with him, tell him, and hide it! Who cares, it is junior high or high school, it won't last forever, and it is for the experience right? [ lovableRIDER4130's advice column | Ask lovableRIDER4130 A Question ]
