I'm confused, if they can't dat how do they get so many wives? Mark is going through what ever teenager goes through he want to rebel against he has been brought up to beleive in. He needs to figure it out for himself. If you really like him and can handle it being his friend is what is most important. Then if he decides he will remember that you were there for him, but if you force the issue it could cause him to beleive he made a mistake and blame you.

Don't take this wrong, but you sound really young. Get to know Mark, and be his friend. That is the basis of all good relationships anyway.

He needs to follow his parent's rules until he is 18, and so do you, so respect them.

Be a friend to Mark, and don't sneak around behind your familys' backs.

Time will tell if you are meant to be more than friends.

Good luck!!!

You are still really young. So I'm guessing he is to. He might not be sure about his religion. You are at that age where things are confusing. Maybe it would be better to stay friends a while and maybe when you are older if you two still have feelings them you will figure something out. I do not think this is something you should take lightly. You should both think about what would happen if your family's found out you where dating. They might not let you be friends anymore. Would that really be worth it.
Good luck.

Go to the site that I have linked below. It is a FAQ site that deals with teen Mormons and dating non-Mormons. If that site does not come up just search "Mormon teens dating" you might be surprised to find out that Mormon teens are NOT forbidden to date or to date Non-Mormons

Are you sure you want to deal with all the baggage that would come of this?? You would have to sneak around. That alone will lose the trust of your parents! And your friends, do you want to give them up or be dishonest to them.

Maybe you should tell Mark, that when he gets his life and religion worked out, to give you a call because you want to have a bf that can do things with your family and friends

if he really doesn't like being mormon, ask him if he'd be interested in changing to Baptist or pentecostal or whatever.

I know mormons expect their men to go on a "mission" when they turn 18 for two years. During those two years they are supposed to witness to others and try and recruit them.
They don't want the boys dating before that time because if they are in love with a girl they won't want to go on this mission.

My ex was a mormon when i met him and he was supposed to go on the mission the same month that we married. His pastor tried to tell him he was "called". My ex's argument about that was if he was "called" why didn't God call him himself rather than go thru someone else.

The mormon beliefs are a bit out there, I don't like mormons and my ex converted to Baptist after having his argument with the minister over the mission trip.

Tell your friend that if he doesn't like being mormon he doesn't have to remain mormon. He will not be stoned, burned at the stake or condemmned to hell if he changes denominations. Offer to go with him to explore other churches if he is interested. Pentecostal are really good and so are the more traditional ones like Baptist and Methodist.

As a one time Mormon (now Christian), I can freely state that dating is NOT against his religion. He may make it out to be that way for some other reason, but it is not!

Perhaps it is easier for him to blame his religion rather than his parents. I suspect that it is his parents who restrict his dating. In this case it is not due to religion but due to the family values. I am aware of many parents who limit one on one dating until their children reach a certain age or demonstrated maturity.

I hope that this helps.

Yes, you do sound very young.

Don't get serious with any guy until he is at least 18. That is the age when guys actually mature and learn to genuinely care about their partner.

don't sneak around behind your parent's back. become friends first and see where things lead to. it sounds like his family is very religous so you need to step lightly. make sure that the risks (and there would be!!) are worth it. you sound young so take it slow and see where it leads because this could get complicated!

Wait and see how things work out. Be friends before anything else evolves. You are only 14 - give this time. Don't rush things.
