Alright so it’s been two weeks since our last post. So what have we been doing?
Inspired by a certain radio show here in the valley, here is a second date update on two of my roommates; Dave & Ian.
You remember The Chronicles Of Dave, right? If not, HERE is a refresher. Well, I’m very proud to announce that Dave and Courtney are now dating. Yes, Courtney broke up with her boyfriend. Yes, Dave has picked one girl and is attempting a relationship. Good for him.
And then there’s Ian. You probably remember his dilemma HERE. Ian never did text her, but he did call her and kind of set up a date. Why do I say kind of? Because he cooked for her. Now cooking for a date is romantic. Yes, I’ve done it too, but not for a first date. Besides that, the date took place at the house and none of us knew when it was happening. So to our surprise, we all walked in on him at some point throughout their dinner. Props to Ian for walking her to her car, but he didn’t even give her a hug. Talk about the cold shoulder.
When Ian got back in, we asked him if it was a date. He said yes, but that he wasn’t sure he wanted to take her out again, that perhaps she wasn’t physically attractive enough. Amber is not a model or anything, but she is cute and we don’t know why he’s complaining about her.
Needless to say, he didn’t ask her out for a couple weeks. He received a text late last week asking what he was doing Saturday night. Not having any plans, Ian texted back that he was free, to which Amber responded, “Great!!! I want to set you up with a friend of mine and double.” For whatever reason, Ian agreed. Problem: by the time Ian had wised up and realized he was in fact interested in Amber, he had already agreed to be set up by her to date one of her friends. They went out on the double date and Ian didn’t even ask his date for her phone number. Total letdown for that girl. I guess he made his intentions clear. However, Ian did ask out Amber again to which she replied, “I’m sorry, but my schedule is just so busy.” She even slightly blew him off when he asked for a time she would be available.
So Amber is now free game to anyone, right? Wrong, “Man Law” still applies.
Rule 22: Thou shalt not ask for a date from a girl your roommate has been on a date with and is actively interested in dating.
Scott broke this when he asked Amber to the baseball game Monday night. She accepted and the date went well (it was a triple date, Ian went to FHE). Somehow Ian caught wind that Scott took Amber and he was waiting for us when we got home. While he didn’t come out and say it, it was pretty easy to tell that Ian wasn’t amused. You could see the disappointment in his face and he’s lost all confidence in trying to date Amber.
I still don’t think Amber was even interested past a first date with Ian, but does that even matter?
Future post on “Man Laws” coming, perhaps even a short list. Feel free to share them if you know them as they apply to the YSA male.
Do girls have them too? What are they?

Oh boy, that’s a definite no-no, what Scott did (sorry, Scott). In the girl world that is punishable by the silent treatment, glares, and talking behind the offender’s back for at least a week, if not longer.
As long as the original person still has feelings for, or interest in, the guy (or girl) their friends can not ask them out. I’ve been in situations like this. It’s not easy to wait but it definitely feels like betrayal when one friend goes after the same guy (or girl, in your case) that their friend is harboring interest in.
It’s hard because it seems that Amber had moved on. My guess is that she may have moved on because Ian didn’t seem interested enough. But still, until Ian has moved on, she’s off limits to his friends in my book.
Haha Ryan what is the rule for texting on a date? 😉 ha!
I agree with Elizabeth on that one, huge no no! I’ve been on both sides of that situation before however, Ian was being a pansy( heart you Ian) but you can’t just keep changing your mind. Girls(most) don’t just wait around. I don’t blame her for moving on!!
You probably need to teach him a thing or two!
Like they say, “Bros before ho*s!” Kinda inappropriate language, but you get the point. Aren’t there like 18,943,571 girls in Provo? Tell girl-snatchin’ Scottie to find one of them to ask out.
Oh, and thanks for following my blog! Stay as long as you’d like…
Dude. You listen to “2nd Date Update”?? Do you listen to “War of the Roses” as well?! It’s my favorite.
I actually listen to it every week. Today’s was a guy, but I didn’t get to hear the end of it.
