Is She Ready for a Boyfriend?

Dear Bro Jo,

Hey! I'm single and lonely and want a bf. And I can't seem to get one. Can u please help me?

- NW




Dear NW,

Maybe.

How old are you?

Why do you want a boyfriend?

What have you tried?

Do you have a particular guy in mind?  Or does it not matter whom it is?

- Bro Jo




Dear Bro Jo,

I'm 18! And feel ready for a relationship! And I would like someone who is 18 or 19 and can love me unconditionally and treat me with respect . And I've tried dating websites and yeah that doesn't work out too well. And I would also want someone who can make me laugh and like to cuddle and watch movies and would hole me tight and hug me when I'm sad. That's why I want a bf. :). Blonde with blue eyes or brown with blue eyes.

Dear NW,

I'm going to set aside how I feel about your reasons and criteria . . . for now.

Are you attending a YSA Ward?

- Bro Jo




Dear Bro Jo,

No I'm not.

I'm in (Home Ward Location Withheld) till I graduate and hopefully get my medallion.

Dear NW,

Graduation first.

Then, rather than focus on finding a boyfriend, approach Serious Single Dating with an open heart and open eyes.

Good Guys can be turned off by someone who's sole purpose is to get a boyfriend. Go on dates, Be Happy and Be Positive and be the type of person who is always found in the service of others.

And remember, we date the type of person that we are, so Do your best to Be your best and focus on people that are like you, that have similar interests and personalities.

Dear Bro Jo,

Okay.

Well my dad wants me to go to some of the singles activities to get this guys named Stan phone number. Cuz he can't cuz he is too busy. And he doesn't think in should lose contact with him. He's an RM and only 3 years older than me. And I met him once at the Bishop’s Storehouse.

Dear NW,

That sounds like good advice

- Bro Jo




Dear Bro Jo,

But he is 3 years older than me. :/! Plus I'll miss my friends.

- NW




Dear NW,

When we focus on reasons for failure it is impossible to succeed

- Bro Jo




Dear Bro Jo,

True. Okay.

Thanks.

I'll try and meet up with him then.

- NW




Dear NW,

For the record, that's not what I said.

And I still think that rather than being "desperate to get a boyfriend" you should focus on Meeting Some Good People in your YSA Ward.

AFTER you graduate.

Best,

- Bro Jo
