Dating and Marriage

Dating is crazy, no matter where you live. Well there may be a few instances where it isn’t, but mostly it’s crazy. There are so many things that go on especially when you have to ask a person to a dance. Sometimes you just go to a dance with a friend and it is totally cool and you have a great time. Other times you go with someone you have gone with before and it is fun because you have already gone together before so it is pretty chill. Then there are times when you sort of know someone and so it is kind of awkward because you really don’t know someone very well. Anyway, like I said it’s crazy.
Dating in Utah probably isn’t the same as other places. I don’t really know because I haven’t really dated outside of Utah. Anyway, here in Utah when you ask someone to a dance you can’t just go up to someone and ask them. You have to come up with this cute way of asking them. Like putting a bale of hay on someone’s doorstep with a note saying “Hay will you go to prom with me” or something like that. My brother used that one, boy was that an adventure. We had to borrow my dad’s truck so we could get to the girls house. We left the bale of hay on her doorstep, with a few chocolates, rang the doorbell, and ran around the corner. So she came out and saw it, got excited, and then went back inside. Well, we were only borrowing the hay bale so we had to go get it off of her porch so we could take it back. Well we almost got caught. Well we got spotted, but we just kept on running so we didn’t technically get caught. Well I don’t know if you have ever tried running carrying a hundred pound bale of hay, but I will tell ya, it aint easy. And did I mention it was really quite dark. We almost tripped and died stepping off of the curb. Well anyway back to the point. Asking people to dances can be really hard sometimes, and when you finally get up the nerve to ask them, you just pray they won’t say no.
Many of the teenagers in Utah wait until they are sixteen to date. I waited until I was sixteen to date. It is just accepted because my parents pounded it into my brain that I would not date until I was sixteen. Also it is pretty much just group dating during high school years, which I am totally cool with cause group dates are more fun anyways. Well dating can be really crazy, but it is also really fun.
