Have a question or an odd situation you think would make a good topic for The Guide? Email Miss Jones at singlemormongirl@googlemail.com with your brief description or question that:
- Is short and brief (a novel isn’t necessary)
- Has no personally identifiable information (for you or others involved)
- Doesn’t require censorship or would need an appointment with your Bishop.
And I’ll try to answer them in a witty way, once a week!

So I am 26 and single–and proud of it! I just finished my Masters degree and I am looking to relocate (I currently live in Utah and can’t stand it anymore). I have been looking at all of these different places to move to this summer and everytime I mention somewhere else other than Utah people look at me like I am never going to find someone if I put myself in Virginia, Ohio, North Carolina, etc. So, I guess my question is…are there places where LDS professional singles can move to and not (and I quote) “rot?”

So this question may fall in category #3, but I’m sick and tired of this issue being skirted (what an appropriate pun for a single Mormon girl blog) and not being able to find information about it.
To put it delicately, what advice would you give single ladies who are having problems keeping the 7th Commandment? (See multiple talks by Elder Maxwell, if you don’t know what I’m talking about.)
We are told to be celibate until marriage, but there is a weird philosophy that men are the only ones who have a problem with chastity – that Mormon women have no “drive.”
What have women Mormon celebrities (aka Sherri Dew, Kristen Oaks and multiple other openly single women in the Church) said on this topic?
Thanks!

I live in a small town in Arizona that has no young single adults or even moderately aged single adults. The nearest singles ward is an hour away and in a different stake. Any suggestions on ideas to keep from going crazy while I survive time in purgetory?

I was wondering if you had any good statistics on the singles in the church. I know it is a large percentage, ~33% of total membership, but I have been hard pressed to come up with anything more recent some unverified stats for 2004.
Is there anything more recent you can pass on?

I loved the story that was in the Ensign a couple of months ago about “Waiting for a Little Season.” Are there any scripture stories/passages that you have read and applied to your own situation? Would you mind sharing your experience? Thank you.

what are the chancs of a non member dating and marrying an LDS girl? i find we have this problem in our local wards…

Mr. Brody
the chances of a non- member dating and marrying an lds girl is very likely depending on the persons standards. The chances that he or she will accept the gospel and/or allow it to be freely demonstrated in the home is a 1 in 400 chance.
