So, on Friday I was talking to one of my good friends, a former co-worker of mine. She's not LDS (which becomes pertinent later on in the entry). So, she's telling me that she's been hanging out with this guy for months, they talk everyday, they see each other all the time, etc. So, I ask 'Is he your boyfriend?' To which she responds 'I am not exactly sure. I am confused about that. We are always together, what does that mean?' Of course, I told her I was not the person to ask such things to, since I have yet to figure out most relationship I have or have not had!
I have to admit, albeit a little empathetic to my friends current plight, I was really relieved AND disheartened to find out that in the 'real world' (a.k.a. non-Mormon realm) this type of confusion also exists. (Please note, I am not currently confused about my relationship status, although I often have been).
This brings me to the topic of discussion around our house last night. They were about 8 of us sitting around talking about relationships. It was a basic conversation, the kind that is to be had when guys and girls get together and at least one of each gender is currently confused.
And basically my soapbox today (as derived from our conversation last night) is this:
1. The girl that eats like a NFL Linebacker, but looks like a Victoria Secret Model DOES NOT EXIST.
2. The girl that looks like a runway model fashionista, but spends no money at all to do so ALSO DOES NOT EXIST.
And furthermore, if you like a girl and you think that: a.) talking about making out with other girls; or b.) talking about how hot you find other girls and how hot they find you and what a stud that makes you feel like, is a good game plan to get her to find you desirable - you are dead wrong... but, keep trying it, you wouldn't want to just ask her out THAT could backfire.
Ok, I am done.

but if you ask her out, she might think that you're interested in her. and then if you go out and have a good time, she might become interested in you too. then you might end up in a relationship with someone that you like and that likes you...and why would we want that to happen?
Exactly... that WOULD be tragic.
