It's a less common occurrence, but it happens. You should certainly still date even if you are not looking for a marriage partner. If it is even possible, would it strengthen or weaken their ability to develop a personal relationship with their Heavenly Father. I spent a lot of time on my knees and made several trips to the temple before I felt l could trust that what I knew I wanted to be promptings actually were. While dating is a good time to get to know someone, if you are young it is better to go on group dates. Break it off amicably now, before it gets too difficult. Whenever you bring something up, they'll say if it's not on lds. Make sure everyone involved is a couple, or at least is paired with someone. Submit a new link.

I am engaged to marry a surgeon next fall. We started dating 16 years ago, and both resigned from the church earlier this year. From a guy's perspective, I was dating a doctor who was going through her final exams to become a registered specialist. My daughter thinks it's funny that she's known her SO 4 years - not ready for marriage. You can even spice it up with a little "desperate housewives lifestyle". Unless you have some super amazing other dating prospect there isn't a huge reason to cut this relationship off now. Forget what anyone else says or expects of you.
