So with the new year means a new semester in college and with that new semester means, in single adult wards... new guys, therefore new prospects. Every Mormon girl is thinking, myself included, "I wonder if that is THE guy?" Then as weeks go on and you have made a fool of yourself he asks another girl out and on some level you are offended. You think that because you have strategically planned out that you will sit by him in sacrament, you have the upper hand. That if he only knew how awesome you were he would ask you out. SO you begin to talk to him and cleverly get your guy friends that you have no interest in, to get the 411 on this mystery man, so you can like what he likes (even though you have already stalked him on facebook via LDS tools). The clever Mormon girl thinks, she has him because she made him smile once or twice. BUT NO! Mormon guy or no, if he isn't asking you out within the first week of knowing you, sorry Mormon girl he isn't ever going to ask you out.
CASE AND POINT:
A mystery man recently started coming to my ward. I thought he was cute and I did want to get to know him. I will be completely honest...I did stalk him on Facebook via LDS tools, But I did not come off as desperate. I have learned my lesson in that department. I played it cool. I did like talking to him but I really didn't feel anything when talking to him, so I just thought we could be friends; but lets face it I still wanted him to ask me out. So tonight was FHE and I was talking to him and another friend when I remembered I had a meeting to go to,so I said bye and went to the meeting. Okay I don't know if anyone else does this and it might be totally ridiculous but frankly I don't care if it is. I will think to myself ... if that guy is still there when I am done with my meeting then he is into me, if not then it was never meant to be. Well I finished my meeting and big surprise he had left. So I texted my friend that he was talking to...(we'll call him Ralph)
***Actual Text Messages**
Me: Ugh I really wanted to keep talking to you and that mystery guy.
Ralph: Ya that sucks, I think he might be starting to date someone. He was just telling me how hard dating is and that he's debating on moving somewhere where he had more option. He and I are gonna go ward hopping I think on Sunday. hahah
Sooooooooo first of all I should be mad at that dummy Ralph for not talking me up to the mystery man! because what he is saying essentially is that I am not even an OPTION! In Mormon girl lingo that's code for you are not skinny enough and you aren't pretty. Yes I might be curvy and I might say really dumb things every now and again, but I happen to know for a fact that I am pretty!
And there it is... I can't admit that simple truth that he is just not that into me. Well I guess I just did, but putting it that why...the (gulp) Truthful way...sucks. Because it's just that, he just isn't into you. There's nothing that you could've done to prevent that. Your stuff didn't mix with his stuff. So in the Mormon girls life this is a blow, because there are only so many guys out there for us. So we have to solider on, by going to swassy smelly dances, mix and mingles after church and dating to find that someone...Hoping that he feels the same way about you. So please remember single Mormon girl...IF he isn't asking you out, give up on him. I promise there are more out there, and most are hopeless but at least the hopeless ones will give you something to blog about:)
