The Friend Zone

3/23/2010 bekah 0 Comments

Being the delightfully sweet and thoughtful person that I am, I somehow always seem to end up in the friend zone.

I can't tell you how many texts I've gotten that say:

You are the greatest! Thanks for everything you do, and just being you! :0)


Really guys? I keep hoping that one of them will pull a Mr. Knightley, where he's secretly in love with me, and then finally realizes it. And then confesses said undying love.

But alas, I'm stuck in the friend zone.

When I got a text this semester from one of these male friends that said, "I want to talk", I was secretly hopeful. Instead, he called later that night to talk about reasons why I should serve a mission.
(insert deep sigh full of meaning here)
Maybe some day.

-The Romantic

We are The Anti-Austens, a collective of feisty, young Latter-Day Saints endowed with old-fashioned sensibilities (acquired through our Mormon upbringing and extensive reading of Jane Austen novels) trudging our way through the modern dating scene. Our blog was first created in 2010 and based in the Latter-Day Saint epicenter of marriage: Brigham Young University. Since its creation, the blog has seen many writers come and go, but those of us who remain continue vigilant in our quest for a gentleman happily blessed with our ideal qualities. For a few of us, that quest has led us away from our original hunting ground (BYU) on to hopefully greener--and considerably less overwhelmed--pastures.
