Dating an Eastern Star..

Saw this image on Facebook today and it made me (currently single) wonder about the profoundness of dating an eastern star girl one day when I am a mason. Would you?

I would if I was not a member myself, but if I was actively involved in the OES I would do so with great trepidation, if at all; it would be akin to excreting fecal matter where you ingest nutrients.

I would leave it to chemistry. No matter if i am a mason or not. If you both don't have communication, compromise and chemistry, quite frankly, you're both are wasting time

I may be completely off base on this but, isn't it a requirement that a women be related to a MM to be an Eastern Star. And if so wouldn't dating one be (or possibly lead to) a conflict with a MM's oath? Can anyone clarify this for me?

When I became Eastern Star yes we had to be related to a MM...they ask for the Mm info on petition...but I also been hearing that it has changed that you don't have to be...it may be international that dosent require that

Depends on what kind of...."communication" you engage in. Personally, I think it would be awesome to have a relationship with someone who is either a member of the OES or familiar with Masonry.

Requirements vary state by state, year by year. I've seen OES require the bloodline, then go "open bloodline," then close the requirement again, in Ohio (PHA).

I am bloodlined from my Grandfather..My husband isn't a mason.. although I would like my husband to be one...I push noone to be one unless they inquire then I would lead him to a MM. And that hasn't happened yet so..But he will say this..He loves that I'm a Star because he knows it Makes me a better Lady.

OES513 I'm hope your husband will see your example of how you live your life and will eventually think to join. I'm trying to find OES in South Africa but it's a mission-

maybe they are mainly in US and UK and Aus ?

Nice! I'm trying to get my wife to become a siSTAR her grandmother was an star. I need a little extra to actually get her to petition. She has been really impressed with how I have grown as a man being in the fraternity. Any advice?

Don't push her first off....let her go gradually to make her mind up.. in my opinion I don't try to get others to b 1.. I let them come to me with intrest...if u pressure her she may lean away from it...if she has showed u intrest lead her to a Sistar in ur lodge

Good advice and yes she has shown interest. I believe it's her being nervous and shy being that Stars in our local area are a lot older than she is.
