I know that it's been a long time since anyone has posted something new here. My excuse is that I've been lazy and I haven't really had anything to post about. I don't know if the other two guys who are supposed to be posting stuff on here have an excuse at all. But now I've decided on something to talk about and I don't want to work on homework, so you guys get another post.
My problem with dating is that people seem to think that guys should always be the ones to be asking the girls out on dates and that it's never ok for the girls to ask guys out on dates.
When I get told that I need to ask girls out on dates, the first thing that comes to my head is, "Why don't they need to ask guys out?" Seriously, girls are all for equality when it comes to voting and jobs and salary, but when it comes to dating, they think that everything depends on the guys. This needs to change.
Right now, the problem with being a guy (especially a guy at BYU) is that we're expected to ask girls on dates and pay for those dates. That can get rather expensive. I don't know about all of you other guys, but I don't have that much money to blow. Meanwhile, the girls are having guys pay for their dinner, their movie ticket, their ticket to the basketball game, and everything in between.
I’m a pretty shy guy. I’m not nearly as outgoing as one of my roommates who can start a conversation with anyone, anywhere. Because of that, I’m not as prone to ask girls on dates or even try to get their number. Terrible. I know. So to get told that I’m the one who’s supposed to be doing most (if not all) of the work is kind of a daunting prospect for me.
Women, it's perfectly ok for you to ask a guy out on a date. There's nothing wrong with it. In fact, you'd probably score points with the guy by asking him out on a date (at least, you would with me). So to all of the women out there who are complaining that they don’t have a date for the weekend, go out and get one. Live in the 21st century.
