So today I went to a "mid-singles" ward. Whatever mid-singles is supposed to mean. I've been completely opposed to the idea for the past several years. Of course, it hasn't been an option for me because there has not been a mid-singles ward in my area. Today a friend of mine invited me to come with her to check it out. Since I'm in Utah and since I do not have to commit to it, I went.
And I was pleasantly surprised. Perhaps my prejudices were not totally fair. I assumed some things that were not necessarily true. Like that all the men there would be much older than me. But it wasn't that way...people seemed to be in their thirties, at least mostly in their thirties. I mean, I don't know what dating would be like in those wards. However, perhaps I should just remember that I was wrong about the age and not make assumptions that I've been prone to making in the past.
End conclusion is that you can't judge something you haven't experienced. You have to find out what it is like for yourself. That and maybe...just maybe I need to be more open to new experiences. After all, a good attitude and an open mind go a long way.
