I broke a rule of the LDS faith, need advice please!

silverwings: Perhaps you should check someone’s age before offering advice. leslie23’s profile indicates she was born in 1985, which makes her 23 - an adult in her own right, and not in need of your condescending concern. I’m certain she’s able to handle herself, and not trying to “push the envelope”.

leslie23: My advice would be to stop worrying about nonsensical rules that protect no-one and serve no purpose other than to prevent you from doing something that’s harmless and enjoyable. But I suspect you won’t take my advice.

I’m of an entirely different faith, so what I say may be wrong, but I can’t help but think that so long as you understand your faults and are doing what you must to correct the situation, you should receive forgiveness. Your LDS leader may be just the person to help guide you to rectify the situation.

Hi Leslie… I am not LDS, but, I am sure that the rules are there for your protection, and it sounds very dangerous, what you did. You mention that this “Man” … (sounds like he is much older and more experienced than you ) is someone you met on the phone… ??? and it sounds like you didnt know him very well at all, nor did you know anything about him, am I right so far???

Also, he came 100 miles.. to meet you… which is a long way… and it sounds like this was your first meeting??? If so, this is mighty heavy stuff… for someone you know nothing about and esp. for a first meeting.

I would be horrified.. if you were my daughter… or grandaugher… I would be very fearful for your safety…extremly glad you made it thru this experience, with your dignity intact… seemingly…anyway.

The news has the reports of missing teens… all the time, almost everyday, in fact, and if this is the way this really happened… you are blessed indeed… that you suffered no more than you did.

I sincerely hope that you do confide in your mentors in the church, so that you can do a lot of things very differently. sounds like you are pushing the envelope, because you are sheltered… however, you have no earthly idea how blessed you are that someone is trying to protect you from doing stuff that you wish later you had not done.

Please, from a mothers heart, don’t rush it… there will be plenty of time.. to grow up… when you are ready.

God be with you… and please.. listen to your leaders…

people make mistakes its part of our nature because man has a sinul nature you should talk to God and ask him to forgive you and your leader should understand…you didnt mean to

You haven’t done anything wrong, you should not feel shamed. It’s basic human nature to want to kiss, there’s a reason that it feels good.
