After several years of internal debate, I decided to leave the church. It's been about three years, and in that time I've dated a number of women who have had absolutely no affiliation with the LDS church. For various reasons, I've found it difficult to establish a significant level of commonality with them. The last one actually recommended I try to find someone who, like me, was once a faithful member but has since apostatized (I say that with a positive connotation).
This wasn't the first time the idea had occurred to me, but I have yet to find anyone who fits that profile. For better or worse, I moved away from Utah shortly after decidedly leaving the church. Ironically, I think the greatest number of apostate mormons is probably in SLC.
What are your thoughts on the role of faith (or lack thereof) in relationships for recovering Mormons?
Do you know of any dating sites or social events intentioned for recovering mormons in southern california?
