This is the first of a two part blog post on single's wards.
Back in my single's ward days (Wait, I have "single's ward days"? Yes self, you do, face the music.) I came across a few boys that asked me on dates. And I went, because well that's what you do in single's wards.
I'll back up.
Ward Definition: a congregation of people who live in the same area and attend the LDS church together. In order to be a member of a single's ward, you cannot be married and you have to give really awkward testimonies during the first Sunday of the month. These seem to be the only requirements.
Anyway, single's wards encourage dating simply because it is the natural result of hundreds of single young people (and their hormones) spending time together at least once a week. Sometimes people get all freaked out and worried that all these young adults are going to church to socialize rather than to further themselves spiritually. And to those people I say, "duh."
So the dating, not all of them are bad, but most; at least in my experience. My theory is it's because single's wards are creepy, and cause creepy dates. But maybe I just attract creeps. Both theories are plausible.
The bad dates are more entertaining so Part 2 will be a list of my worst dates, and a couple of Kristy's because she doesn't have a blog and I do.

Tartraz-
You have no idea who I am, but I just have to full concur with your blog here! People go to single's wards to find (or so they think) other young hotties. But all you find are creepy weirdos who don't realize that they are creepy and weird.
I also think I attract weirdos, which makes dating tough. I bet you feel grateful that you found your hubby. hehe.
Anyway, those are my thoughts, I agree with your profound truths.
Single's Wards=desperation. You can smell it in the air at every gathering.
If any single's ward I ever went to had a guy that looked like that dude in your picture, it would have been at least a little more enjoyable. The ones I went to were full of freaks.
Oh my gosh. I completly agree. I cannot count the number of akward and simply horrible dates I have been on as a result of singles wards. Most of which were when we were living in the Tempe house. I have had one good singles ward out of the 6 or so I've been in. I might have to do a post about this because some of the stories are unbeliveable.
LOL, excellent.
Against better judgement I went on a date with one of these "regulars," over a dish of vanilla ice cream he asked me "how do you feel about oral sex?"
I said, "take me home plese."
LOL! Easy Erica, some of us are still in that frame of life...uggg
I went out with a guy in my new singles ward last summer who brought a whole book of pre-written questions to ask me, with "fill in the blank" spots. Then at dinner he even reached under the table and felt my ankles to see if I had "cankles" because its something he doesn't want to pass down to his children.
It was our first and ONLY date
LOL I'm excited for the worst dates list but now that you are married you can make fun of us who are stuck in unpleasantville, huh?haha...maybe I'll just go meet guys in bars or online like everyone else. haha just kidding
p.s. we need to all hang out when I come home to visit the end of july before I'm up here to stay.
