How I feel as a recently returned missionary

If you are only looking within your small selection then its very possible that you are not going to find that companion in life that you seek - its possible of course but there are women out there outside of the LDS who have similar values and are looking to find a partner in life.

I can't speak for the other ladies out there, but I know I connected to my hubby almost a decade ago though online friends who set up us. He was looking, I wasn't - was open to friendship but nothing more on any level.

A year passes where still talking and still friends I invite him up and we hit it off, he goes back home his mom says something is different about him (more like she said "you found her didn't you") at any rate the point is I wasn't a born member of the lds when we connected and I had no interest in doing so until years later, yet many of the values he had been told to look for in a good wife/girl where similar to what I'd been told growing up to look for in a potential life partner.

There is nothing wrong with connecting online with other singles and seeing where it might lead, if more friendships develop great, if someone catches your attention and you theirs then its meant to be.

Also if you are ruling out any girl who has medical issues, such as diabetes, epilepsy, infertility then you are being very short sighted in your outlook of a perspective life partner. I know because I talked with a few of the girls who where interested in my hubby yet once they learned he had a medical condition they dumped him like trash and years later where shocked that any woman in her right mind would even think about being with someone such as him (to me its their loss because to me I got the other half of my soul - just had to look for him in another country was all).
