DISCLAIMER

Since no one is actually supposed to read this blog.. I have to express my awka tips I’ve gleaned from just the last four months of BYUI experience.. Soo *disclaimer*/ no judge zone.. k?

Lets talk about dating at BYUI for a second. 

 1st. People jump the gun.. in every way 

Tip 1: the phrase "I think you have a lot of future potential" isn't one that should be uttered on a first date

Tip 2: creating a Facebook fan site advertising  for “team (insert name)” versus “team (insert another dude’s name that wants to date the same poor girl) is not Appropriate

Tip 3: ring checks are an important part of this culture.. check first

Tip 4: Know who your friends are dating

Tip 5: Have a full convo with someone before asking them on a date.. or to marry you

Tip 6: The line “I don’t have time to talk to you right now, so can I just get your number” even from a hot foreign kid.. not acceptable

Tip 7: As good of a tactic as stalking is.. don’t do it

Tip 8: When you are on a date, don’t leave them to go talk to other girls (even if the other girl looks like better EC material or something)

Tip 9: Do NOT ask a girls for her FRIENDS number OR ask her to go out with your friend (she prob thought you wanted to ask HER out.. grow some balls and just ask her)

Example A: Today at the gym this guy in my bio class from Mesa, Arizona, came over to talk to me.. and then went home to tell his roomies he'd talk to a girl named Emily from Vegas. His roomie happened to be the guy who drove me and Austin to the airport two weeks ago.. so they called Austin. Austin called me to ask if i went to the gym today (this is my new fav phone call). Apparently the kid who came over to hit on me is his buddy from home. Hitting on your best friend’s girlfriend is more awkward when you still have biology with her for the rest of the semester

Good times at the BYUI dating scene.
