Because Flirting in 'Real Life' Would Just Be Too Hard

2/04/2011 The Romantic 2 Comments

We all get nervous trying to put ourselves out there. I myself, have placed a well meaning ;0) in texts and facebook posts alike when grabbing an elbow seems too much... However, this is going too far.

But it provides great entertainment for the rest of us!

Enjoy!

The Anti Austens

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.
