Where do you get your ideas?
Are you on drugs?
Do you want me to call the police?
Another one came up recently at the Yogurt Stop in Bountiful. A dozen of us were innocently enjoying our custom made pay-by-the-ounce desserts when a girl in the group sent the conversation onto a random tangent:
"Is it OK for girls to ask guys out on dates?"
About half the guys in the group grumbled slightly, and the other half shook our heads. Then came an empty awkward silence that said far more than anything we could have verbalized.
This may sound sexist in our modern world, and maybe it is, but the simple truth is that if I am interested in someone, I will ask them out. If I'm not, I won't.
Now, there are alternatives, especially if like most girls you are convinced that the only reason the man in your sights hasn't asked you out is because he is too shy to pull the trigger. If you want to encourage interest, speak to him in public situations. Laugh at his lame jokes. Follow his blog. Better yet, invite him to a party or some kind of group activity. Just don't cut his grass. If you ask him out, he'll think, "hey, isn't that my job? I feel like I am being metaphorically kicked in my man parts." And an empty awkward silence will follow.
We don't want to get kicked in our man parts. We just want to rule Cuba in peace.
