Would you wait 3 years?

Question

i'm a mormon guy right?

so mormon guys go on missions..ever see those 2 guys with white shirts and ties walking around together? no,they aren't homosexual men that like to dress up in fancy clothes; they are missionaries for the church of jesus christ of latter-day saints.(LDS)

anyways, we serve a mission for 2 years, and we're not allowed to date or have gfs while serving a mission...so..

if you were a girl...

and you liked one of these guys that has to serve a mission, would you wait 2-3 years for him to come back from his mission so that you two could date?

Answer 1

to be honest if i didn't think he was the one then i wouldn't wait 2-3 years for him to come back from his mission but if i think its worth holding onto i might wait; but that is a long time.

Answer 2

to be brutally honest i would not wait but that is me there may be may be more willing girls out there

Answer 3

you can wait since you are both on the same mission

Answer 4

may be yes if i was in true love wid him.............

Answer 5

Nope.  Number 1, I'm not religious, so I wouldn't hook up with a guy that is...and number 2, if you are young, then wasting 2-3 years of my life waiting for someone is just ridiculous.

Answer 6

It's very sad that it happen this way...

Waiting Waiting Waiting is a torture mentally and psychically for both.

Let's dating begin start a little late in life.

It is better this way. :(

Answer 7

depends on how much i liked him

Answer 8

Girls probably wouldn't just wait around, but if you stayed in touch they might see you if they are avaiable at that time.  Ask some of your mormon buddies about their experience.

Answer 9

that is why you keep in contac whit 3 or more grils so you can have MORE OPTIONS when you came back .....

Answer 10

I was around when they shortened the mission trips to a year and 1/2 and then it went back to 2 years.  

Answer 11

Yes .

I would find something to keep myself busy:)  while waiting.

Answer 12

I would wait.

Answer 13

My wife waited for me.

You do realize that "girls" have their agency too, and if they decide not to wait the world still keeps going around.

While on my mission there were some that married their girlfriends after they got home.  Some got "Dear John" letters.  If it is meant to be it will happen.  If not, and you are doing what you are supposed to, things will still work out.

Either way, discuss it with the "girl."  Don't be controlling, but be trusting.  Both in her and in the Lord that things will work out.  

Answer 14

If I'm honest I couldn't promise I wouldn't meet someone else in those 2-3 years. I would try and stay in contact etc but I wouldn't make any promises. It's not worth the heartbreak!

Who's to say the guy would still be interested?

Answer 15

depends  how much i liked him.

if you kept in contact then defiantly  YES
