I really have decided that I hate dating. I hate the games that one is forced to play and the act that seems to go on between the couple. The guy in the picture with me is Dave. Dave is the first guy in a long time that I have actually thought was "normal". We went on a date and I actually had a good time. Although he is an engineering major he kept up with the conversation and made me laugh. We were both in a wedding this weekend, our roommates got married, and we hung out a lot. The other bridesmaids kept pointing out all the attention I was getting from him and that I needed to "flirt it up" to let him know that I thought he was pretty cool. Oh how I love flirting. I have no clue how to do it! The guys I work with always complain about how girls think they are obvious in the signals they send but really they aren't. Yesterday morning I thought I brought my A game to the temple. He gave me tons of attention and we talked the entire time. The reception was later that evening. When he arrived he had this cute girl with him. Katie, another mission friend and fellow bridesmaid, took care of business finding out who said girl was. Turns out she was a girl that Kristen always stayed with when she went to visit Jake in Logan. She was also good friends with Jake, Kris, and Dave. I couldn't help but back off. I didn't want to flirt with him in front of her for some reason. Anyway Dave kept looking at me asking if I was doing ok and making small talk. Guys I really suck. I didn't bring my A game to the reception and I stopped giving him attention. I enjoy being around him but he lives an hour away. I'm not sure what I should do. Normally I wouldn't care backing off, but this guy is different. Boo for me being passive!

I think you should call him, and then we should go on a double date, and Ryan can encourage Dave to drive the hour to see you.
Go get him! I second the Ryan and Schmath date idea - that would be so fun!!
Do it, Ashleigh, do it! Also, I'd just like to mention that "I thought I brought my A game to the temple" is maybe one of the best lines I've ever heard.
PS, he's cute.
I'm no good at guy advice, but YOUR HAIR LOOKS SO CUTE!!!
Um... he's cute, but who is that little hottie by him! You look so GREAT! Love the little black dress! UM, definitely call him-- If you like him and you want it to go somewhere, you need to call the guy!
HA! A game to the temple. Little Miss Ash, you look great! I love the haircut! And, I am sure you know my opinion--go for it :-)
ASHLEY
P.S. hopefully no one else reading this will find this strange, but I totally had a dream that we were companions knocking doors in my neighborhood :-) Weeeee for missionaries!!!!

http://ponderingsofthemind.blogspot.com/
they have both our blogs as their "favorite" links at the bottom of their page. Creepy?!?--I don't even know who they are!
Hmm... so I love how I need to read this on your blog.... But in your defense I do think you called me the other day. Hotties, both of you. CARPE DIEM. You & Skye & I need to get over ourselves and be direct with the men folk. the end.
i second what lindsy said.
hope you're feeing better. I just got your text about skipping our training session.
you are crazy in love with him, just admit it!! Have fun in florida!
ash he's hot! but i totally get that you weren't sure whether or not to be flirty at the reception. i love that you write all this on your blog! it makes me happy:) haha
Hey Ashleigh! It's Rhiannon. It's been a while...Skye stalked me down, so now I can do the same to both of you! :)
Ashley,
I know we haven't spoken for years, but of course I care about you, because you are my baby sister's friend, so...my advice to you is, LIFE IS WAY TO SHORT to not GO AFTER WHAT you Want. RISK DARLING, RISK. If he rejects you, so what, move the hell on and go get the next one. LIFE IS TOO SHORT. Stop overthinking, over analyzing and go get what you want.
