My boyfriend is a member of the church, as am I, and we've been dating for 5 or 6 months and we've been getting too close... I don't know what to do... I can't seem to tell him that... I'm scared that I'm going to keep him from going on a mission and getting married in the temple. My lifelong goals are to stay worthy to my future husband and myself, get married in the temple, and never keep any guy from serving a mission... I need major advice!
Help!

I know this is gonna sound really obvious, but just sit down & talk to him! Tell him that you know you both have standards, and you are getting too close to breaking them- you want to step it down a notch. If you don;t think he'll understand, or if he doesn't, that means that you guys aren't that close emotionally. Being close physically, and not emotionally is ALWAYS a bad sign. Maybe tell him that you want to work on the emotional part of your relationship, and not as much on the physical part. If you need anything else, just let me know. Even if you just want/need to talk. I'm here.

You have no idea how relieving this is... I haven't been able to talk to anybody about this. Just knowing that you are there for me, to talk to. Thank you. It means a lot to me.

Hey, Like you've already been told, talking to him is the best thing to do. I'm sure that he also wants those things in his future.

Liz,
Yes! I would definitely talk to him.....It would be very easy to let ones emotions take over our better judgment and before we realized it.....we could find our standards compromised.
Set limits on what is and is not acceptable behavior. Maybe you guys should only go on group dates if being alone together leads to, too much temptation.
