I'm not really a true believer here but I do like the community and have good friends from the town I moved from 6 years ago. I'm never going to be able to visit one of the temples because I have made a choice that would exculde me from that, namely in the way I believe the universe to be (my perspective is closer to eastern religion than western) and I don't think all the puritanical rules are nessasry to live a good life (I drink coffee and tea, occasionally drink wine, cuse a bit, want to try everything there is to sex and so forth). But will this simply turn off every single LDS young women from dating me? I really would like the opinion of the young LDS ladies on this?

As a young LDS woman, I would consider dating you.
A person should be allowed to be human no matter what religion they choose.

Sorry, I'm not a young woman, but I suggest that if you are dating someone who wants to marry in the temple, and wants to marry a man who has the same beliefs and standards that they have, that you do not deceive them into believing you are their ideal mate. Be completely honest with whomever you choose to date. If they are OK with who you are, and with what you believe, then go for it. I imagine that most devout LDS women, however, would be turned off by some of your "worldly ways", but there may be others who do not mind. Good luck.
