So, lets talk about dating. Being recently engaged I am so ridiculously happy to not have to play the dating game. Granted some dates are a blast and there is nothing wrong with free food, but then there are always THOSE boys. You know, the weird ones. The one where the debate of free food vs an awkward two hours is presented in your mind. Well just for fun I'm going to post some of my best and worst dates.
BEST DATE GIRLS PLANNED
Not meaning to brag but my friends and I planned one heck of a date for our first date. It was in 2006 obviously and we had all reached the age of 16. Thanks to hookups from awesome friends we were able to plan a kayaking/rafting trip in Moab. We had a group of eight friends and it was so much fun. The river rafting was amazing and about half way down the river we found a huge mud hole in which we played in for hours. We then returned to a resort and showered and sat in the hot tub and ate pizza. Ridiculous amounts of fun.
BEST DATE BOYS PLANNED
All I'm saying is that Mesa boys know how to plan a date. The best date I probably went on was with thee Brian Bothwell. It was a group date which took place in Manti. Aaron and Pilar, Shane and Annie, and Brian and I all dressed up in couple themes. Aaron and Pilar were the nerds, Shane and Annie were the indians, and Brian and I were the emo's (we played it well). The date was a competition date against the other couples. It included a series of games. Indian hunter, egg toss and egg dye, math facts, spelling bee, twister. The overall winner was Shane Cody and Annie Anderson. Ummagumma then cooked us the most delicious dinner. It was seriously the best date ever.
Now for the fun ones
MOST POTENTIALLY AWKWARD DATE
Last Thanksgiving I went on a date with a guy who had previously gone on dates with my older sister. He is from Chicago and comes to visit his grandpa for the holidays so, he had been on a few dates with my sister before they both graduated high school. Almost 4 years later he was back visiting again when I was asked out. I thought it was quite hilarious and could be super awkward considering he had dated my sister but instead it was lots of fun. A double date with his friend from Seattle and my friend Becky turned out to be a serious laugh fest. These boys were ridiculous.
GOOD DATE IDEA GONE BAD
My senior year a junior set me up with his older brother who had graduated the previous year. It was a double date and we were going to go horse back riding and then have a cook out. I love horse back riding and was super excited. We get out on the horses finally and head out. Instead of the boys actually talking to us or making conversation they spent their time making a billion inside jokes with each other and throwing sticks at us. Yes i said sticks. Mature right? Finally we get off the horses so I thought there would be a little more interaction with each other on the hike. Instead we spent the time in the dark without flashlights hiking on the stupid mountain while the boys ran off and tried to scare us ever five minutes. They should have not ever asked us out and just gone on a date with each other. really.
SUPER STALKER DATE
My first day in Provo I get asked out my Kostia. My first college date. He originally asked me out for coffee so I informed him I was LDS so he changed it to hot chocolate. He seemed really nice and so I was excited. The date was fine and the conversation was good at the hot chocolate place. He loves music and so do I so we had a lot to talk about. We then decide to walk around BYU campus. As were walking around we sit on this bench by a fountain he then proceeds to ask him if he can rest his head in my lap and I can play with his hair. WHAT THE CHUFF? Uhm...no thanks. Keep your head away from me. So I after I say no it feels super awkward so we start walking back to the cars. He then proceeds to try and kiss me which i dodge and hurry and drive off as fast as I can. It doesn't stop here. He texts me for a month straight about how we would be the cutest couple in Provo and how beautiful I am and how we have so much in common and how he can't wait till our first kiss. I never texted this boy back but the texts cam coming Boys: never ever text a girl about how you will be such a cute couple after a first date and after she says she isn't interested its sick.
MOST SKETCH BOY
My first semester in college I took a dating and courtship institute class (yes you may laugh out loud now). The teacher's son was in the class and asked me out a few times. (yes i dated the teacher of dating and courtships son...laugh harder)He was a lot of fun so I wasn't against going out with him but I really wasn't interested in dating him seriously. Just a fun person to hang out with. Right before Christmas break we went hot tubing and then went our separate ways for the Holiday break. When I got back for the next semester he was engaged. I nearly died of laughter. Apparently he had a girlfriend going to BYU-I the whole time. I felt awful for the girl because i would be irate if my boyfriend had done that but needless to say I never talked to him again. Only in Provo, Utah.

Awh!!! Mesa boys make great dates we got great ideas you know! Stalkers are bad! Before my mission I had a girl stalk me, even while I was on my mission, the mission president wrote her a letter telling her to quit writing me, after that I never heard or saw her again :)
thank heavens I made the best date boys planned and not ...any others.
ps - we should have won that competition! stinkin indians, have to be amazing at everything
I'm super late to this post, which I found because of Annie's blog, but I just had to share. (Mostly because I love to tell stories almost more than I love to breathe.)
My worst date was BYU freshman homecoming. I got asked by a boy my roommates and I had all tagged as "Crazy Richard", not an auspicious start. In the middle of the date, he let it be known that he had actually spent time in a mental institution (I had not known this when calling him "Crazy Richard"), which made for an awkward silence. He picked (of all the options) the dance venue that was labeled "For Faculty", whereupon he proceeded to sing "Lady in Red" into my ear, substituting, of course, "Lady in Peach" because that was the color of my dress. I got through the night by imagining how I was going to tell the story to my roommates and how they were going to respond. (It might have been worth it, just for that.)I could also talk about my first date, as a sophomore, to the junior prom, 4 days after I turned 16. He DITCHED me halfway through the night.
