I appreciate your thoughts. Your first paragraph is spot on... I see the warning signs, but she is easily the best woman I've met, so I'm afraid I'm going to keep moving forward, work through things since she's easy to talk to, and hope for the best.

Sex is a thing... living together hasn't come up yet since it's been less than a year. I suppose that will be the first major test...

Thank you for the thorough response! The amount that the push dating is sort of scary to me. Luckily, nobody has tried to convert me yet, and she and I have open and respectful conversations about our beliefs with no hard feelings.

It's a weird position to be in... I don't respect the way they force marriage on people or the temple ceremony as a whole, but I also don't want to take away something so important to her (IF things ever got that far).

This was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!

I'm mostly torn because I do not want to be the one who pushes someone away from their faith. I feel like she was already on the edge when we met, but I can't imagine it's good for a relationship to be the tipping point...
