I'm Not That Pessimistic

Sometimes there are good dates.

In this vast pool, sometimes you pick the good fish.

Good, simple dates sometimes aren't that fun to talk about. You girls know it. There's no drama. We live off drama.

The date with the Super RM was a good date. I knew him. He knew me. We'd hung out a few times. He wasn't creepy when he asked me. It wasn't a big production, because it doesn't have to be.

We went to Borders. We got hot chocolate. We talked, and I helped him look for a book to help him with his new job.

Short and sweet. Perfect first date.

He was sweet and fun, and he didn't try anything or try too hard. I don't ask for much. All I want is for you to listen to me when I talk. Look me in the eyes. Bring something to the table. I'm not going to put in the effort if you're not.

The Virgin

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.
