Today, Briana, Amanda, and I went to seminary like 15 minutes early because a meeting we had ended early. We started talking to the secretary lady about dances and such when Brother Goodman came up. We mentioned how school dances are very bad and inappropriate, and that we don't ever get asked. To Bro. G, it's OUR fault because we don't ever ask the guys to the girl-ask-guy ones and we don't tell enough LDS kids to go. If we got more to go, there would be more clean dancing and more people would go.... NOT!!! Most LDS kids are really not that great at school... Of the ones I know, I can think of maybe 10 max that really show their testimony at school. :( It's very sad, but it's true! This discussion lasted way long, and more people kept coming and adding to our side. Seirra has been 16 since the summer and hasn't gone on one date. Christian has been asked by a girl to a dance twice, and said no both times (:P). I've been "date-able" for almost 2 years and have been on less than 10 dates--2 of which were school dances *I* asked them to. AND, the last date I went on was Winter Formal (which *I* asked to) and before that was the summer. Amanda mentioned how someday, probably the near future (but hopefully not) girls will start asking guys to marry them. How ridiculous would that be!? VERY! But as our society is going, it sure is heading that way, and in MY opinion, it's not right.
When we brought up "we don't ask them because they don't ask us" Bro G says, "well maybe they don't ask you because you don't ask them!!" Ok, if THAT'S the case, these guys need to grow up a little, become a man, and suck it up. It's their responsibility to ask girls on dates. Yes, every once in a while it's completely ok for a girl to ask a guy on a date, but I'm not going to be the first to do it. Guys have their responsibilities, and girls have theirs--one of which is NOT asking guys on dates all the time.
Now, not only does my dad bug me about not dating, but my seminary teacher too.
