  1. I'm a 25 year old guy, and I've always been a faithful member of the church. The problem is that I've been cursed with ill health all my life up until about a year ago. My life has been one hospital to another ever since I was 15. There is no physical problem with how I look or anything, and apparently people tell me I'm quite handsome. Despite the health issues, I'm surprisingly well toned, tall, etc. Also in spite of the health issues, I was able to do well in homeschooling and I am currently pursuing a degree in pre-medicine with a goal of medical school. I'm up at the University of Utah trying to make up for lost time. But because of the major health crises in my life, I have never had the chance to date or do much of... Well... Anything. I don't know how to date, ask someone out, how to act on a date, etc. I'm also moderately shy and nervous because I've never been around people for most of my life. I'm pretty good with talking to doctors though, (hah). Well, anyways... By now, most of the people I know are already getting married. I'm panicking because of how much the church emphasizes the need to get married. I feel like a racehorse that wasn't let out of the gates until the last lap. I feel like I'm hopelessly behind. I will also probably leave for a mission, so when I get back I'll be 27. It hurts. I've had many sleepless nights. I worry that my chances of finding a good match are being ruined. I worry that nobody will be left. People tell me that it's an unspoken mark of shame to be pushed out of the YSA ward when you turn 30 if you're still single. I have been to the Temple countless times, asking for help or consolation. I'm not sure what to do. I would appreciate advice.
