What is it like to date a Mormon girl?

I dated a Mormon girl when I was in high school. She was actually pretty aggressive to get to the making-out stage but stopped there. I was a young teenager at the time and she was my first girlfriend so I was pretty skiddish about pushing for physical contact in the first place, but I could tell she would probably resist if I tried to based on her body language at times (making out but not pushing bodies against each other, if that makes sense).

Also, I had to dial back my moral boundaries when I was around her. She was pretty sensitive about some things that most of us consider "harmless". That ended up in me not being myself and having to kind of change who I was when I was around her, which ultimately kind of frayed things.

Speaking for her friends though, they were all Mormon and really cool people. I think she was on the more conservative/old fashioned Mormon side of things than most. Many of them are completely normal people but more dedicated to their faith than most, but also not pushy about it. None of them ever insinuated that I should try to come to a Sunday at their church, and really none of them even brought up religion all that much besides "I'm going to (church activity) tonight" type of stuff.

I'd say just communicate a lot, more than you're used to. Their lifestyles are almost identical to everyone else's but their moral compasses might be different from what you're used to (or they might be the same, you have to find out yourself!). If anything, just be yourself and don't do what I did which was modify myself to try to fit a mold that just wasn't me.
