what do you guys think the best way to deal with having a missionary leave is?
because when chase left, he told me he didn't want to hold me back and he wanted me to date and everything. i didn't want to be THAT GIRL that doesn't date anyone while her missionary is gone. i decided i'd do kind of what my sister did. if i'm dating someone when he gets back, i promised myself i'd still give him a chance and see if what we had-we still would have. and so here i am dating all these people, i want to know that i really love him and that i can't find anyone else. it is really scary because i dont want to find anyone else, although i am looking...(all of this is if chase even wants to date me when he gets home.)
so do you think its best to break up before they leave and not write?
have pretty much an open relationship and have the girl dating, but still writing.
or having the girl wait faithfully til he gets home, not having gone on one date?
what i am sure about is, i'm going to do anything i can to not let my daughter send off a missionary.
here are some lyrics from of my favorite songs.
I don't want you thinking I'm unhappy
What is closer to the truth
Is if I lived 'til I was one-hundred and two
I just don't think I'll ever get over you
Your face it dances and it haunts me
Your laughter's still ringing in my ears
I still find pieces of your presence here
Even, even after all these years
I don't want you thinking I don't get asked to dinner
'Cause I'm here to say that I sometimes do
And even though I may soon feel a touch of love
I just don't think I'll ever get over you

the way you are doing it is definitely the way to go. worked for us! open relationship while still writing. It can get kind of scary, trust me, but I still think thats the best way to go.
I agree with Taylor. If you are going to send a missionary at all, which I don't recommend but it can't always be avoided, keep the relationship open and date other people while also writing and supporting this missionary that needs to have support from home. And I also agree that I am going to try to avoid having a daughter of mine send a missionary.
Fab song. I'm just going to agree with our two success stories here. Taylor's lady dated while he was gone and look at them now! And Katie dated while Skyler was gone and she ended up marrying someone that was 203849 times better for her than him! Sooo moral of the story... date around. You'll learn a lot that will come in handy with future relationships aka when you marry Chaser!
He could be weird when he gets home (like I was). You don't want to be dissapointed by being completely faithful to him and then finding out he's not the person you fell in love with after two years of waiting. That's my advice. But then again, I know people who it's worked out for too. So, I guess it's your call baby cakes!
get all the action you can. you'll never regret dating around, but you will regret doing nothing.
I wrote you that comment at work so I better leave a work note. You can delete it later if you want.
