First stamp: I went to a Korean Festival at BYU Friday evening, and it was crazy! There were probably 200 or more people there, packed into this little area with not much walking space, and booths that had lines longer than they were actually worth. So the only advantageous thing that came from going was I got to write (trace) my name in calligraphy! Though, I guess I can't really be sure that it's my name... But it looks cool anyway!
Second stamp: An awesome guy, Nate Wallace, took me to the salsa club Friday night as a date. I had a blast! I am really terrible at dancing, just because I become too self conscious to really let loose, but I don't think I did too bad! It was just hilarious, because neither of us knew what we were doing. So we just did whatever we wanted. Great guy, great date, and the ice cream afterward definitely added some points. :D
Third and final: Saturday night, I got to go on another date with a different awesome guy-- Tanner. We went to eat at the Thai Kitchen first, which was pretty good though the spicyness made my stomach complain for a while after. Then it was off to Classic Skating! This was actually the third time I'd been to this place on a date, but it was so much more fun this time! I make it a point to at least try the skates first, but I'll usually just upgrade to blades. I convinced Tanner to try them out with me, and we were able to get the hang of it. I now can at least skate around for a little while, though we still switched to the blades so we didn't have to try so hard. It was hilarious, because both of us fell a few times (and guys, that's a PERFECT excuse to hold a girls hand). I just love those kind of dates, where both of you feel just as embarrassed, so it's okay.
Dating Advice?
On a side note... I just want to mention how this semester has been dating-wise. Now, I am NOT bragging, and I don't want to come off that way at all. But starting from the very first day that I got back from Christmas break, I have been on a date almost every week. And the amount of dates versus the amount of weeks? Almost double. Crazy, right? I'm freaking out about it, because this is not usual for me at all.
I was thinking about it last night, and how it probably has something to do with the fact that I'm about to go on a mission, which is sooo frustrating in multiple ways. But I will save those thoughts for my missionary blog (segoviakoreabusan.blogspot.com).
Anyway, my roommates are always asking me, "How do you get dates?? What do you do?" And all I can say is, "I have no freaking idea!" But, if I were to offer advice to girls about getting guys to take them on dates, just go out and meet someone new, and then meet their friends. And continue that process for eternity. (Or at least until you meet The One :D). The more people you meet, the more likely someone will want to get to know you more. Valid reasoning right?
That's about all the advice I could ever give on dating, because I don't really consider myself a great example. But hey, I'm gaining experience and having fun with it. So girls, go get those boys, cause this kind of story really is possible.
Also, please don't hate on those girls that do go on lots of dates, because I know that dislike tends to be an emotion directed towards them. I felt that way before, and now that I am that girl I realize that's not saying anything bad about their character. I will judge no longer!
