I'm a nevermo so I have to ask: Is it more acceptable for a Mormon man to be single and childless in his 30s?

OP again. I think we’ve pretty much exhausted this thread, and again, I really do appreciate all the advice. The one recurring theme I want to address is this idea that you should never date coworkers. I assume many of you also work in mixed-gender environments in the 21st century and understand that dating at work is commonplace. I certainly wouldn’t recommend that anyone go to work looking

I don't think you read my questions correctly. At all.

Thanks for your response. I have (very) graciously accepted the fact that he's not interested in being friends or anything more, but even that hasn't put him at ease, and the tension is affecting our working relationship. That's what I'm trying to resolve. There's been no egotism, no inappropriate flirtation or comments, and there is no reason for any supervisor involvement. The difference in per

Thanks for the new angle. I've considered this many times, but I'm an all-or-nothing kind of girl (or, all or just work in this case). ;) I hope your situation worked out for the best.

Thank you! Thankfully, I was always careful about all of those things, understanding that he was Mormon and that any personal relationship might be taboo. Just some more personal conversations during work and on trips -- it's hard to travel alone with someone for days at a time and NOT discuss anything personal at all.

As a single non-Mormon woman, I could use some advice on a personal and professional problem I’m having with my single male Mormon coworker. He and I have been working together for several months, in roles that require us to work closely -- one-on-one -- nearly every day, even traveling alone together on occasion. Our professional relationship was easy and fun from day one, and we quickly grew
