Any1 here a church member?

?? I am. I am a mormon. Not the kind that practices Polgamy. But we have these things. They are missions. We go on them at the age of 19. This guy i really like named Clint just Left. I think he might show a little bit of interest. Im excited about this cause i have alwayus wanted to be with a returned missionary. But he wont be back for two years. Im not the best Mormon there is and i want to get better. And all for him. Its like he inspires me to be a better person. But things seem hard cuz im into rap and have a foul mouth. What Do i do to better prepare my self for him???

Simply, we become like those we surround ourselves with. Try to change your environment to better nurture the you, you want to be.

If his religion is important to him then I suggest you get your Bible out and start studying. Just because you have been bad in the past does not mean you can’t be forgiven or that you cannot change. Talk to other people in your church and ask for their help.

Better yourself for God, not for a boy. God is who you need to focus on. When you focus on serving God, he will lead you in the right path and if it is in your will to be with this boy, then you will be with him.

I don’t want to put anyone down, but I have to disagree with the advice from “amhp”. I spent a great deal of my life with a similar perception of the world and it led to nothing but misery. If you rely entirely on God you will never do anything for yourself. You will drift through life and accomplish nothing.

As far as your question goes, I think you are asking the wrong thing. Sure, taking an interest in what he likes is a good idea for getting his attention, but you don’t want to change who you are or you will never be happy.

It sounds to me as though you aren’t really into the whole religion thing. You need to ask yourself if Mormonism truly makes you happy. I want to stress the fact that I am not asking if you enjoy the comfort a belief in God provides.

-Do you feel too restricted by the rules?
-Do you truly like this guy or do you only admire him for what he does with the church?
-You say you want to be a better Mormon, but do you believe that is the same as being a better person morally?

I don’t want to sound like I’m speaking out against your religion or anything, but it just sounds like you aren’t really interested in the religion yourself. The whole “foul mouth” part leads me to believe that you don’t really agree with what the church teaches.

It sounds to me like you need to sort out some other things before you should decide if you truly want a relationship with this guy. I think the reason people are often confused in these situations is because they haven’t actually thought about what it is they want.

Please don’t take offense to anything I said. I hope this helps and I truly hope you can find what you want in life.
