And So She Asked Him

Since I've started this blog, I have received my fair share of dating advice (mostly from my mother but that's why I love her) and I have come to certain conclusions of my own. I'm going to make this short and sweet because I think my posts can be lengthy and let's face it -- people are lazy nowadays and won't read something once they have to scroll down.

And here you go. My lessons learned up until this point in Blindfolded.

1. Blind dates are awesome. Whether they go horribly wrong or show signs of a match made in heaven - they are awesome. I have no experience of the latter but I'm assuming that that's a good thing.

2. Men are just as afraid, if not more afraid, of rejection as women. This is fact, not fiction here, people. How can you expect to meet that special someone if you're afraid...of anything. Suck it up.

3. Guys need a hell of a lot more alcohol to loosen up. Again...fact, not fiction. Who are the drunkest at weddings? Guys. That could be for any number or reasons. Open bar is the greatest thing since dry humping and because marriage scares the shit out of them. Either way...they need shots, beer, jaeger bombs, and more beer. That combination = a good time at the wedding.

4. Us girls need to suck it up and ask whoever they're interested in out themselves. I mean who really cares if he doesn't respond? Who cares if you go out and it turns out you have nothing in common? Like I said in #1 -- it's going to be either an awesome time or an awesome story.

And there you have it. Those are my lessons learned up until this point. So I have to ask the guys who read along...what would you think if a girl asked you out for a drink? And girls...would you ever do this or is that too unconventional for you?

I'm always interested. And that's the truth.
