I have been contemplating a question for a while now and don't know what to think.
Why is it that if you are dating someone or married, and thereafter begin to attend institute, NO ONE will talk to you!?
When I was a t BYU-Hawaii EVERYONE was friendly and talked to you. And my guy friends knew that I was dating someone when I was there. However, when I transferred to ASU I was already exclusively dating Joel and got engaged a month after. Therefore I have no friends at Institute.
For example, last semester I was sitting in Institute minding my own business when this guy says "Hey, (some girls name)!" I looked at him confused and said
"I think you are confusing me with someone else".. he said
"oh, well I'll still meet you (as hes walking towards me)"... I then see his eyes go to my left hand, sees my wedding ring, and says,
"Never mind." and walks away. What I have to say is "really???". Awkward.
I have also noticed that girls who were previously in cliques and got married, still have the same clique friends (boys and gals) after they got married.
So, is it fear of girls?
An issue of cliques?
And is it like this at BYU too? Because I didn't experience this at BYU-Hawaii.
Or?
Any ideas?
institute is a seriously strange place to be as a married person. It's hard to meet new people for sure. I was not super good at it, but it is possible. I mostly just stuck with girls that were not dating anyone, or I knew were married and in the same boat as me. most of them I met in class.
ReplyDeleteI hope it gets better for you! Institute is great, but I totally feel your frustration.
P.S. I went to highschool with Joel. I'm pretty sure we met at the 24th of July. HI!
Yeah I see what you mean. All my classes are with the same people now since I'm in the Teacher's Program so I see the same 27 people every time I go to class. But no one is in the same boat lol. I love going to Institute, those are my favorite classes but I just don't see why people have to be so weird (lol)
ReplyDeleteAnd yea I remember you :)
