So this weekend was surprisingly low key but for some reason, I couldn’t put my mind to ease. I think the new season has something to do with it. I know for me, warmer weather changes my attitude.
First things first. The girls vs. guys thing is as hot as its ever been in my life. Single girls expressing frustration with guys not asking them out and single guys complaining that there aren’t any girls. This seems to be prevalent especially in Christian circles. It’s completely valid and absolutely ridiculous at the same time. To treat these things as simple gender flaws is foolish. I can give you a reason why I do or don’t like a girl and why I have or haven’t asked them out. Every single girl I’ve ever met. There is a good chance I’ll never tell you though.
For the most part, girls put off a vibe that they aren’t interested. Its that simple. Language, tact, reactions to me…all simple things…all are extremely revealing. I’ve only gotten a good vibe from a few girls in DC and only one or two were ideal in my mind for one reason or another. Needless to say, they didn’t work out either with or without actual dates.
The problem isn’t going away, but I’m choosing to ignore it from this day forward. If you’re frustrated that I won’t ask you out, tell me.
Moving along. Heather Z. spoke to a topic that could not have been timed more perfectly. There is drama in my social circles. There are 2 people involved. They have issues to work out…by themselves. This business of taking sides is clown shoes. Stop it. Don’t take sides, offer counsel as needed. Don’t spread rumors, don’t speak to anything you know nothing about. Don’t ruin a perfectly good scene with middle school crap. If you aren’t party a or party b, you should wash your hands of it and mind your own business.
I don’t like it. I don’t like liars. I don’t like untrustworthy people. I don’t like unnecessary drama. Lesson to be learned: There is no such thing as a secret in such a tight woven community.
