I think that now it is only appropriate to talk about an actual date, or a way of obtaining one. Sadly, the story that I am about to tell does not have to do with talking to a boy in person (like our last discussion teaches us) but through text message . . .
So, there is an evil game called text of death. In text of death you switch phones with someone and then they are allowed to text someone in your phone (there are restrictions to who you can or can't text).
I think that one problem with not communicating with people face-to-face is that sometimes messages can be misinterpreted.
One day, I was innocently playing this game with a couple of friends when one of them decided to text a boy in my phone. The message that she sent him did not say anything like: "Could you see us 2gether? "or "I've always wondered what it would be like to go on a date with you?" but it was just something simple like "I haven't seen you in awhile, Will you be in Utah for the summer?"
However, he responded to the message by saying: "Are You Asking Me on A Date?" at this point, I was freaking out! because I didn't really know this kid and because text of death was getting out of control(as it always does). Of course my friends responded by saying "Yes I am asking you out" (even though I was fighting for the phone). So, I went on a date . . .
But also, I'm wondering if girls always have to be "forward" to even be considered to get asked out on a date. Like, we have to have an "in your face" personality all the time. I think for sure that showing your personality is a big part of not only getting dates, but also getting friends(of either gender). I mean if you don't show your personality, who else can you blame . . . but even if you are trying hard to show who you are and aren't getting the results you want, what should you do then? sure, we can move on to liking other boys or finding boys that share a common interest with us, but what else can we do?
