When I was attending a YSA word our bishop came into a priesthood meeting and said he had been impressed to command us to go on at least one date each week! At that point I just started asking young ladies from the ward out and they always agreed to at least a first date. Then you see how it goes and take it from there. Think of it as your priesthood duty to get out there and ask someone and it might be easier.

By that I mean that I was not interested in him romantically when we first met. A mutual friend tried to set us up but I just wasn’t interested in him that way and I said so. It wasn’t until almost a year later, after we had become good friends, that I began to see him as more than a friend. We have now been married for over 8 years and in addition to being a romantic partner and my eternal companion, he is also my best friend. So my advice to you is to worry about making friends and let romance develop naturally. After all, you ultimately want an eternal companion, so you’re going to want someone who is your best friend as well as lover.

It keeps you from being the individual you really are. I was a non member and had not met the right lady. I decided if I had not met the right lady by my (XX) birthday that I was not meant to get married. Having decided that I quit worrying about it. Met the Love of my life the month of my birthday.

When we worry about something to much it can change who we appear to be. Desperation will not attract the type of people you want to meet. Quit worrying about it, met the right girl. Got married a year later. Joined the Church the next year. Went to to the Temple the next year.

Don’t just believe in Jesus the Christ. Believe him. Believe him when he tells us he can make us into who we want to be. Trust him. Put ourselves where we need to be. We might find out the right person does not much resemble who we thought the right person was supposed to be.
