Drives me a bit crazy. She has to come to the realization that the church may not be infallible, it can't be forced on her or proven to her. All of my siblings who married in the church 1 discussed getting married on the first date 2 were engaged within two months, and 3 were married within six months. Nor was there a lack of compassion or respect. When out on a date with a Mormon guy or girl, be very decent, courteous, and well-mannered.

The issue is that we have really spectacular sex that will often last for hours including foreplay haha, not all PIV, thank God.
