Lula from London
She started this blog. She may or may not live in London. She’s been single for 28 years and grew up in the Mormon belt. That’s why she had to leave in her late twenties. ;)

And, she’s getting married to a great guy that she dated for two years and waited a whole life for. Nearing the end of singlehood, she decided that the book she never had during those years needed to be written before she forgot all of the chapters, so she started this blog and asked random spinsters to join her!

Miss Jones

Hello Singleton World!  I’m Miss Jones.  I’ve been single for 29 years and have been a Spinster for 6 of those years.  Just to clarify, a Spinster is a woman still unmarried beyond the usual age of marrying.  So for we Mormon girls Spinsterhood starts at the early age of just 23 (because 22, according to my research, is the average or usual age when Mormon girls get married). 

I was born and raised on the Mormon belt.  However, I have made it a point in my life to come to know other peoples and cultures through travel and study.  I have been to every continent in the world except for Antartica and have traveled to nearly 40 different countries and have even lived abroad.  I hope that because of my travels my life view is a little more broad than the average Mormon-belt Mormon Spinster.  I at least like to tell myself I’m well-rounded. 

I have recently inherited this blog from Lula (as the Singleton world lost her to marriage a few months back).  I hope you continue to enjoy reading this blog and leaving comments.  I’ll do my best to inform and entertain, but I can’t promise anything…and you shouldn’t expect anything.  I mean, I don’t get paid for doing this…it is just for fun.  So enjoy (or not).  Whatever you want.

  1. I loved the article “you’re not too picky”. It made me laugh out loud. I’m 27 and single and it’s so nice to know someone can relate to how I’m feeling!!

  2. I have recently moved to alabama from hawaii. I’ve found that the people here will not associate with anyone outside there little cliques. Since I cant stand this place I’ve been looking at new places to move. Im considering utah and going to school at suu. I’ve heard that mormon girls will not date guys who are not mormon. Is this true? I dated a mormon girl while I was at the u of h but mormons are the minority there and I think she had no choice to date a non mormon if she wanted to date. Will I be able to have a social life in utah if Im not religious?

  3. The short answer: Yes!

    You will find religious people, but that’s true of any place you live. If you’re looking for a Mormon girl (because, after all, we ARE amazing) then that’s understandable.

    But yes, you can have a social life in Utah, Salt Lake especially.

  4. My friend told me that at BYU the singles wards set people up on blind dates by drawing their names out of a hat. Is this true? When during the meetings do they do this?

  5. Yep…. this is true. My dad is a bishop on Campus at BYU and he has resorted to this blind date tactic simply because the guys DON’T DATE… yeah… it’s your fault guys. Because you don’t ask out the girls… opting for hanging out instead… the bishoprics are at their wits end in trying to get their congregations married and I having lived through that myself when I was at BYU have only one question: Why? How hard is it really? Okay that was two questions… but in reality, and being what I like to think is a typical girl…. I would be totally wowed if a guy called me up and asked me for a date. What a concept.
