Today I went to the singles ward here for the first time. It was surprisingly fantastic, which was great since I so badly miss my BYU 241! But in Relief Society, a comment was made that made me laugh. A girl said something about how the guys in the ward don't ask out girls because when they (guys) DO ask, the girls say No.
I've heard this many times before. And I also remember Kelly saying something along the lines of, "Yeah, all the guys in the ward ask out the same three girls."
So I have a very easy solution. Guys? If the girls you're asking are saying no, try asking different girls. And not just the other two of the three who always get asked out.
Girls? Say yes once.
Easy squeazy.

I like the first part of your solution but not the second. Guys should definitely not ask the same three girls. Girls, however, should feel totally comfortable saying "no" if they are genuinely not interested. I'm no stranger to rejection, and I always appreciate it when a girl tells me straight up that she isn't interested. Makes me feel like she respects me enough to be honest. Maybe that's just me.
I didn't know you had moved out of the 241. Where you at?
Also, I'm still in mourning. You might have to help me get through the five stages of grief.
so easy to do, and people still screw it up. i refuse to say no to a guy unless i feel i am in danger of bodily harm! :) and i even make a concerted effort to give him and chance and look for his good qualities- oh my!
i sure miss you here! come for a visit soon.
Layton! I'm still in mourning, too. I'm in the denial phase right now.
I'm surprised you liked the first part; most guys don't, but I'll take it! The second part, I actually had another sentence initially, but took it away. It's this: "Girls, say yes once. Unless you've already been around him some and you're unbearably repulsed by him." This happened to me last year. This guy I couldn't stand kept asking me out, and I just didn't get it. I hated being stuck in the same room with him, let alone thinking of being on a date with him! No thanks!
I'm back home in Laguna Hills. Currently on the "perfect job" hunt, although I'm going to accept an internship offer and see where that takes me. You liking Salt Lake?
I make no claims that I understand men. I do not know why they ask out the same three girls.
Then, there was someone who was going around telling people that he had asked me out and I had turned him down (not true). But after hearing that, if he did ask me out, I would turn him down!
Liz, was it someone in our ward? Email me!
It's like you're part of a sleazy tabloid: gossip's going around about you that isn't true. Do you know what this means? You've made it! To what, I'm not sure. =)
Caranine! I'll say no to a guy if I feel *I'll* cause him bodily harm because I don't like him. Hey, it could happen.
And honestly, I think girls are a whole lot more willing to take a chance on guys and *try* to like them, much moreso than we get credit for. I don't see guys working as hard as we do to talk themselves into relationships. I've actually had this discussion with a good friend (guy) and I was thrilled when he fully agreed with me there.
I miss you, too! But I don't really want to visit Utah yet. Isn't it hot? Ew! I'd LOVE to come up for Education Week, but we'll see how the job situation is working out at that point. It'd be a blast, though.
