I think if a boy sang and played (well) Damien Rice's "Dogs" to me, I would fall in love with him instantly. (Snaps fingers). Instantly. Or, at the very least, attack him like she does to Will Ferrell in Stranger Than Fiction. No ve?
On another note, I think it's super super lame that girls have to do all the work to get guys. Guys don't do anything. ANYTHING. Who invites guys to game nights, movie nights, brings them cookies, etc.? The girls. Always the girls. They're always the ones initiating any sort of hang out. Am I right or am I correct? Both. I even had this confirmed with a friend today, who asked a girl out for next week, but admitted that she took the first step in them becoming friends. Yep.
He countered that the guy has to do the hard stuff like ask them on the date, hold hands and kiss the first time, etc. Bull. How hard is it really to ask someone out on a date? If the girl initiated the hanging out, how scary is it really to ask on one date? One date! And who really says no to those? Nobody! There's nothing scary about it! And then holding hands? Usually you're either a couple by then or you have a pretty dang good clue on what she wants. Scary? No! Exciting, more like! Dumb.
I mean, is it really that wrong for a girl to want to be chased, pursued for once? Instead of having to work to be noticed? Why can't guys step it up and try to be friends with the girl first? Why are they so lame that they just passively sit around until a girl makes the effort to be friends? Why are guys such pansies??? Why???
That is my rant of the day.

AGREED!
Because Boys are stupid.
I know. I is one.
boys, especially the byu ones, are afraid of rejection. the only ballsy ones are the ones that are full of themselves, or, like, just really rare.
Also, it's supply and demand, really. There are lots of girls who are willing to be in relationships at BYU, who are willing to, as you say it, initiate friendships and so forth, so there's no real incentive for guys to have to persue any girls. Should a girl he is interested in make him persue her, he could feasibly just turn to one of her roommates, and she would do all the work for him.
It's economics, really. And I just callously compared economics to dating. I'm evil.
There is no real viable solution, except to move to a school where developing a meaningful relationship that leads to marriage in 2-8 months is not a social norm.
Also, this is no way condones what guys do. In my opinion, it is the strangest phenomenon ever that guys who spend two years serving the Lord come back and become so lazy and self-centered.
BYU, repent! Repent! And sin no more!
