Response #13

Hi Jon, just a couple of quick suggestions for your class/presentation.

1. A lot of people think that they shouldn't date people in their own ward because it might be awkward if it doesn't work out. I would encourage people to get over it. As older single adults, we probably have dated enough to understand/realize that it's not a personal attack if you break up...it just didn't work out. If you have that big of a problem dating in the ward, keep it a secret. It's the best way to meet people.

2. When [husband] first asked me on a date, I wasn't necessarily attracted to him. (PLEASE KEEP THAT ONE A SECRET. :)) Nor did either of us believe that anything significant would come of it. Sometimes you need to get over what you think you want. [husband] was what I needed and the Lord saw that. It's better to get what you need than what you think you want. Give everyone a chance. Even guys need to ask girls out whom they don't necessarily think they will want at first.

3. A word from [husband] and I quote, "Guys, man up and just ask the girls out. There's no way around it."

I hope that helps. Good luck!
