Life has an interesting way of presenting opportunities for change, growth, and even love. Recently, I’ve become more attuned to the quiet yet consistent attention of a particular person—a strikingly beautiful blonde Christian LDS missionary sister. For some time now, she has been following my social media stories with remarkable consistency. In fact, she is often the very first person to view them and, as far as I can recall, has never missed a single one. While this could be dismissed as mere curiosity or habit, I have begun to wonder if it signals something more profound.
The Digital Age and Subtle Signs of Interest
In an era where social media plays an undeniable role in human interaction, certain behaviors can provide insight into a person’s level of interest. Studies in social psychology have suggested that individuals are more likely to engage with or pay attention to those they find interesting or attractive, whether consciously or subconsciously (Whitty & Joinson, Truth, Lies and Trust on the Internet, 2009). While LDS missionaries are bound by their sacred duties and restrictions during their missions, it is well known that they are still human—capable of admiration, attraction, and emotional connections, even if they must exercise discipline in addressing them.
The few times I have interacted with this missionary online, she has seemed receptive—engaging in meaningful yet respectful conversations. While mission rules prohibit openly discussing personal relationships or romantic intentions, LDS culture acknowledges that subtle hints can be given. The idea that missionaries sometimes develop connections with people they meet or know from before is not unheard of. Many faithful LDS couples have met this way, with the understanding that serious discussions must wait until after the mission is completed (Preach My Gospel, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 2018).
From Past Heartache to New Possibilities
After ending a relationship with a narcissistic secular Muslim girlfriend, I have found myself more focused on what truly matters in a partner. That relationship, while passionate at times, was ultimately unstable. A lack of shared faith, values, and emotional balance made it clear that it was not something worth continuing. The experience has solidified my desire for someone who is not only physically beautiful but also mentally stable and spiritually aligned with my own convictions.
This LDS missionary seems to possess all of those qualities. Her dedication to her faith, the consistency with which she engages with my content, and her apparent openness to interaction suggest that she may be interested—if not yet romantically, then at least in getting to know me better. And that, in itself, is a foundation worth considering.
What Comes Next?
In the LDS tradition, relationships are approached with a level of intentionality and prayerful consideration. If there is truly something there, time and patience will reveal it. Once she completes her mission, a conversation about meeting in person could happen naturally. If she has already shown interest within the constraints of her current calling, there is a good chance that the interest will continue post-mission.
For now, I remain observant. Interest does not always need to be spoken outright—sometimes, it is shown in actions, in patterns, and in the small but consistent efforts a person makes. Whether this turns into something deeper remains to be seen, but I find myself increasingly drawn to the idea of pursuing a woman who embodies faith, stability, and sincerity in a world that often lacks all three.
