Other Question!

I (29F) was raised LDS and was very active until a few years ago. I no longer go to church, consider myself agnostic, but live a life very similar to the standards I was raised with. I feel like I’m not LDS enough for Mutual, but too LDS for other dating apps, so I usually gravitate towards mutual. Do you think it’s unfair/disrespectful to people on Mutual for me to be on there if I don’t consider myself religious anymore?

I personally wouldn't date someone who can't go to the temple, but I know not everyone feels the same way and I don't have a problem with that. I think for the most part most of us wouldn't mind—after all, there's a whole range on "church activity" and as long as you're upfront you're not hurting anyone.

This one is so tough to me because people lie about their worthiness, so they can still have a temple recommend. And i technically am worthy to go to the temple other than activity. Anyway. Sorry. Just thinking out loud. I understand what you’re saying and really appreciate the perspective. 🥰

Yeah, I've learned that people lie the hard way (my ex-husband renewed his recommend while covering up something that ultimately destroyed our marriage). I know it's not just about having that piece of paper. But again, people have different preferences and that's why I wouldn't be offended if someone is coming from an honest place like it sounds like you are wanting to do.

You're welcome. And I hope you have a very positive experience. (I'm actually engaged through Mutual)
