Why does Kristen call my blog "The Teen Scene?" Well, for the simple reason that all I have to post about is dating. And today I will prove her wrong! Wait, this is actually just another post about dating. Alright, fine. I can live with that. So anyways, on with my narrative. Me, Kelsey, Shaylon, and Sydney all went out on a date this weekend. The only problem was that we only had a few hours to do the date (around 3, give or take). Due to unforseen circumstances (i.e. Kelsey's parents) Kelsey and Sydney didn't make it to Mount Airy until nearly an hour late - yeah. I didn't mind though, so Shaylon and I nixed the first part of the date; the park. On to part II, going out to eat. We hurried through supper in time to make it to Amy's wedding reception. Kelsey was supposed to leave at 830, but we didn't even make it to the reception until 845.
To sum up before I get too carried away, Kelsey left about 900-915, and is now grounded from driving up to see me.
Don't get me wrong, the date was aweosme, and it was great getting to see Kelsey again. That part was awesome! In fact, dare I say, the best part of the weekend :)
I'm not even entirely sure what I'm complaining about. I guess I'm just griping that Kelsey got grounded, to sum up everything. But after all, I'm not grounded from going to see her! Forgive me a cruel chuckle (hahahahahaha) I guess what really worries me about the whole deal is the fear that Kelsey's parents really must not like me. I feel like Kelsey's parents are punishing her more becuase she was late coming back from seeing me. Maybe I'm way off here, but those are just the ramblings of a love-struck 17 year old (sheepish grin) :)
So any - advice/"been there, done that"/helpful tips for the future - would be greatly apprecieated.
P.S. to shawn, have you tried out the Beat 2 of IE 7? If so, what do you think. For me, the jury is still out.
how many parents of 17 year old girls LIKE the 17 year old boyfriends? i'm sure they don't like you as the boyfriend. while i think you are a great person, run by me again what you've done to impress her parents. it seems to me that you have a streak of bad luck running. (ie...leaving VERY late that one time--actually the FIRST time, KISSING her, and getting her home late this time. and yes, regardless of who's fault it really is, her parents will blame you.) none of these things in and of themselves is that bad, but the combination is tough. especially since she is the oldest and a girl. i'm sure her parents are tough on her, and you! i also think its probably hard for you to be objective about the situation since you are so lovestruck.
you might also want to think about how you could impress her parents. i mean, not just assume they should like you b/c you're you and such a nice, good person. but really go above and beyond to show them that.
anyway, i really like kelsey. she seems nice & i would like to get to know her better. keep us posted on life on the teen scene!
How did Logan's blog become the "Random Tandem"?
i just thought it sounded cooler & took up less space on my links than "whatever i feel like talking about". we always tease logan about being random. at least at on point he would out of the blue say something like, "blue". we'd go, "what?" and he's say, "oh, that was the random color of the day." there were a whole bunch of random things, like random thought, random fact....i don't know...all kinds of things. so that's part of why i put that up there.
Well, seeing how as you guys live an hour apart, from my standpoint, it would be nice if they could come up here once in awhile and do some kind of group thing, maybe an afternoon picnic and games at the park or something like that. Oh, well!
And I think you could start impressing her parents by (if there is another date) bringing her home on time and leaving EARLY! And you could impress YOUR parents by getting home EARLY without any PLAN CHANGES. ...just some thoughts...
and never, EVER have your friends negotiate for you. they suck at it!
All very true. I've decided from now on I should be the negotiator, especially with date plans and the like.
I'm still hoping to impress her parents in the near future. Maybe I should "accidentally" slip him a copy of my church records. What do you guys think?
Seriously though, I get the impression that he really wants to interview me. In a way, I kinda hope he does, just so that maybe he will be a little more comfortable when I am around his daughter :)
Oh well, I will prove my mettle yet. Let's just hope I get that chance!
i think you're right about the interview. i think the more he knows about you the better he will like you. that's why its great to spend time around the fam...yours and hers.
is she grounded from the phone?
do you have plans to go to her place any time soon?
keep us posted. i really enjoyed this post/topic.
On the plus side, she isn't grounded from the phone. In fact, we actually got a good chance to talk last night (today is sunday...just for contextual reference).
I dont have any imminent plans, but the first weekend of April is the preist/laurel prom.
Then the third weekend of april is her prom.
Then the fourth weekend of april is my prom! So april is going to be a really really good month! It would be nice to see her once before april, but we will see. here's to hoping!
hopefully you can partially win her parents over before prom.
does she have a dress for prom yet? and if so, what color is it?
drama, drama, drama...
I think she does have a prom dress, or will soon get one. We talked a little bit about it earlier, and i think she might use her prom dress last year for the church prom or something.
haha, come on, who doesn't like drama? :)
Yeah, this is interesting. Keep it coming....
