So it seems like a lot of people I know, particularly in our ward have recently started dating, as in this semester. However, most of them have been here the whole year. I have to theories about this:
1) They're settling. They got stuck in the rut of hanging out with the same people all the time, (I know I have. I love the boys we hang out with, but I wouldn't date them and I don't really get out and get to know more people. It's kind of a problem...we should make some goal about that as an apartment...) and then they just decided the first girl/guy to come along in the way of romantic interest they should date. They haven't been meeting other people and this person seems pretty nice. Plus they haven't got some in a while (Mormon style.)
2) It took them at least the semester (or twenty something years) to realize not everyone is perfect. This is technically another form of settling, but this is actually healthy. Your significant other isn't going to be perfect and it's high time the no-longer-in-Young-Women girls and the recent overly zealous RMs realize this. We could all do with a little self-improvement.
Unfortunately it seems like a lot of people I have seen fit into category one. Oh, Glenhood kids. I just realized this post sounds kind of bitter. Honestly it's not. I was just looking around in Sacrament meeting today and thinking about things. And this is what I have come up with...so far. And it rather amuses me. :)
*Disclaimer: this does not apply to all couples, obviously...
haha this rather amuses me as well.. haha
ReplyDeleteI like the part especially about "getting some" mormon style.. that made me laugh. As far as ur theroies go they sound very interesting :)
The disclaimer is awesome to :)
