thoughts

It's been a while since I've posted, and since I don't really feel inspired to write about a topic that takes a lot of thought (the "topics" I always have listed in separate posts), I'll just write.

Spring Formal has been behind many of my conversations now, whether it be jokes or serious matters. But I won't write about spring formal stuff as much as the underlying topics that seem to come up: when do you take that risk with a girl?

After core, three of us went to BK and talked, and one of the things VG kept bringing up was the fact that once you are invested in someone, anything you do will have consequences. Let me explain. Say I am very good friends with ABC. The fact that I ask ABC to something like Spring Formal or don't ask ABC will say something to her, because I'm so invested in her. Even if you do ask, how you ask also changes things. Do you ask her as a friend or just ask?

Although I personally think asking someone "as a friend" is a little bit of BS...your actions throughout your friendship will determine whether or not it's just "as friends." I can't ask a girl I barely know "just as friends" because obviously I'm going to be much more intentional than usual to get to know this girl.

On another note, I feel like guys can drag their friends to go. A guy can just ask a girl to go, but girls can't drag their girlfriends to go with them (as easily, at least). Especially if everyone is going with someone, it's just a bit weird going solo (more respect to you if you can do it though). Must suck not getting asked.

Enough about this topic.

In the end, it really doesn't matter. I wonder if my Dad even remembers the names of the girls he went to dances with. It's something to be considered, but God will work through any situation. It's not like me asking a certain girl will change His plan.
