I hate dates. They're horrible, stressful, sleep-depriving, awkward things that make you worry even before you actually ask the other person. And the only time they're fun is when you hear about them from other people. Do I sound bitter and cynical? Well, I am. I've decided to never like another boy again. I'll go live in a nunnery in Prague. That sounds so much better than living with the realization that boys just don't like me. They've never liked me and they never will. I guess I'm just not attractive.
The truth is, I'm scared to death of boys. Always have been. And asking one out scares the pants off me. I just want to crawl into a deep hole and stay there forever. Where there aren't any boys.

They are scared too. I think. Either that, or just stupid.
Prague is so very, very far away. Farther than Provo. :-(
But on the up side, Prague is very pretty, and they've cleaned it up a lot since the early 90's. If you go to Prague, we're coming to visit.
*sends hugs* There is much love Kreeeesten. Don't let your anxiety get you down. Your mom is right... they're just as scared of you as you are of them.
Besides... what guy in his right mind could resist a gorgeous redhead like you?
I never liked dates either. I almost exclusively had relationships with people who were already good friends.
Dates are all about manufacturing a fake idealized version of yourself so the other person will like "you." They're not about getting to know each other at all.
On the other hand, friends already know and love you, warts and all.
