Hello everyone! Welcome to August!
Today Angie and I discuss dating for people from more conservative/traditional backgrounds. We were both raised Mormon and I lived in Dubai for 7 years, so when I saw a question from one of our viewers about advice for dating outside of one’s religion/culture I was SUPER excited to broach the topic with Angie.
In this video we discuss our experiences with LDS rules about dating (yes, I finally learn the meaning of “heavy petting”) and our experiences dating outside of the religion we were raised with…i.e. dating (and marrying) Jewish men.
Here are some timestamps to help you navigate:
00:54 – Dating within a culture
02:18 – Dating as a mormon
03:04 – We define petting & necking
05:24 – The rabbi story

09:15 – Advice for women from traditional backgrounds
11:04 – Don’t be afraid to ask for what you want
12:48 – Solitude
13:30 – Dangers of seeking to “check a box”
Happy weekend!
Cheers,
Shannon
