Dateless

Ok here's my problem:
I moved away when I was 16...and i wasn't really happy about it. The boys in my new ward are really wierd and we dont really talk. That was a long time ago, and I've never been on a double date. They're snobby and full of themselves. I thought that once I'd turn 16, I would be having so much fun going to the movie or a park with a group date, but now that I'm here, it's only in my dreams. None of the guys in my ward are ppl that I would feel comfortable with going on dates. I've tried to be positive about the whole move thing and getting to know everyone, but things aren't working out for me. I was really looking forward on going on doubledates, too. This totally BITES!!!!

I was/am in EXACTLY the same situation...

..###### dosnt it?? Well, do you have any other wards close by or that go to the same school? You might have to look outside ur ward if you want to not be miserable anymore. and, well, another option is to date non-lds guys...watch out though, sometimes you have to be careful and always make sure you go on group dates, but there can be a ton of really good guys out there who you could date that may not be mormon, so try to stick with the ones that do have higher standards...just to be safe.

Another thing you could try is talking to the leaders, particularly the YM leaders, they might be able to offer some advice or even plan a couple of activities centered around dating...its worth a try.

Ok i did agree with what you said put i do want to point out some thing, I have known LDS guys in my ward when i was young who were worse that nonLDS guys, so just because they are LDS does not mean thay are always gentelmen! be careful no matter who you date

First date huh? Well... I have to say I've come a long way from the beginning. My first date was homecoming of my junior year, total failure of a date. I planned the whole date and this being my first time was a bad idea. I ended up only finding one other pair for our group both of which me and my date hardly knew. So we started off the date, I picked up Marci and we waited for the other couple to meet us at our house where we proceeded to watch Les Mis (the musical) which ended up being really boring, mostly because the guy in the other couple was really geeky about the movie and kind of started singing with it because he liked it so much. We ordered pizza during the movie that was pretty good, but overall it was just pretty boring and unoriginal. We took the girls home then, we got ready, then picked them up and went to Spaghetti factory for dinner (another bad idea) I realize now you shouldn't head to a messy dinner place before a dance. The dance was just awkward because at that time I wasn't comfortable just breaking loose, and our group people totally seperated off from us as well. But I can laugh at the whole thing now and how pathetic I really was! I don't know anyone though who starts out and knows everything about dating the first time though so the first has to be really awkward eh? What's your first date experience?

I'm older and still dateless. Go figure! Eh, it will get better as I get older, I suppose.
