I got married at a much older age than most people living in Provo and can

relate to The Wanderer's sentiment somewhat.

I can't tell you how many times someone would try and set me up with someone who wasn't really 'my type'. I was pushing a rating of maybe a 5 on a good day, and yes, I was older than most guys in my ward, but that didn't mean that I wanted to go out with just anyone. There were way too many times the 'date & mate' agenda was being pushed.

I ended up on more than a few dates with some pretty cool girls, but with whom I had zero 'spark' - and I'm fairly certain they felt the same way. There were times when I'd meet the girl and think to myself, "Really?? My friend/relative/Bishop honestly thought there would be a physical attraction between the two of us?"

What I can say to OP is that it was definitely worth the wait for my wife and me. If his daughter can look past all the "social norms" of BYU and just continue to be herself, it will all work out. Easier said than done, I know. I too have a college daughter that sees her friends going on a lot of dates while she doesn't. But I'm holding out that timing is a major factor like it was for me.
