I really don't know if there is a legitimate reason for me to be writing this particular post, maybe I'm just fed up with a couple things... I feel the need to break up one of these silly stereotypes that goes along with being a single 19 year old girl at BYU.
Guess what?
The boys around this place?
They really don't date.
They're in fact, really stupid when it comes to this particular matter.
I have been here now for three semesters and when I go home and that inevitable "Hey are you engaged yet?" question pops out of someone's mouth I just want to laugh. No, no I am not. By no means am I the girl that is hunting for her eternal companion, I am, however, the girl that gets sick of sitting around and waiting for that magical day when all the BYU boys will live up to all the hype and just starting asking girls on dates. I don't know what it is but it seems like boys assume that if they ask a girl on just one date then it means commitment, or even worse, a clingy whiney girl that they'll have to deal with. So untrue. A date is just supposed to be a fun way to get to know new people; it doesn't need to be pricey, elaborate, or last for hours. I guess this is just something that's been bugging me... I mean, I even caved and did the asking last weekend. Is it too much for a girl to want to be taken out every once in a while? Really?

No. And this is a real problem that many girls like you are facing and which I could get on my soapbox and let it rip because there are some serious problems with some (not all) of these boys and they inability to step up and act like a man...
ReplyDeletethere I feel better. How about you? :)
hugs.
they inability? what?
ReplyDeletetheir...
see, I'm all worked up.
Oh! I love this blog!! You are so cute! I"m so excited for you that your starting out at BYU. If you want the guys to come, then you need to have groups of people doing something fun. So what I suggest is you invite your home teachers, in a very casual way, "hey, so some of the girls and I are gonna watch (action movie) and were wondering if you guys wanted to come. No money, No Pressure, NO commitment, just hanging out and watching a movie, and totally ask him, around his friends. Then you enter the Friend ZONE its the perfect zone to be in if you ask me. Hope that helps!!! Also love you blog, its totally cute. Best, from Lehi,UT Catherine Glazner
