Preistholders who begin talking about physical attraction and begin talking about Marital benefits on the 2nd date. Why is that. I feel our LDS men are still men but would have thought the respect level for the women would have held higher than standard. I have ran into the same experiences.

It seems to me that it's easy for guys and girls both to be able to hide behind the profile they've created. I used the excuse for years that I was "just helping out" or staying in touch, on LDS sites...and I met a few great girls. However, nothing can compare to the old fashioned way of just going up to them in person and letting them know that you are interested and want to get to know them. As much as I hate to say it, your own single ward is the door to a lot of dating relationships...not that you have to date in the ward, but getting to know others of the opposite sex in your ward will lead to you being able to meet their freinds who aren't in your ward....anywho, that's my two cents.
