The 10 Stages Of Asking Someone On A Date, As Told By "Friends"
New Love Times

Every single sorority girl knows that the struggle is most certainly real when it comes time to find a date for an upcoming date function. Whether it is a random person from the week before, one of your best guy friends who you ask two days before, or if you decide to bite the bullet and ask someone as soon as the function is announced: it is a process.

Everyone goes about this process differently. Sometimes it is an utter train wreck while other times it works out great and you gain a new friend. On the very slim occasion, long-term relationships may form. Here's a relatable account of what the process could look like, from some extremely inspirational 'friends.'


1. Your social chair announces you have a date function coming up, but you've already asked everyone who you know to previous ones.


2. Finally, after much deliberation, you decide who you are going to ask.


3. Then you hear that someone else has already asked him.


4. Now, you're back to square one.


5. You eventually give in to being randomly set up.


6. You finally think that you've planned out the perfect text to ask him, hit send, and immediately regret it.


7. The response that you receive is much more positive than what you imagined him saying.


8. When you get to the date function, all is going well. Then you try to dance.


9. All of your friends are hitting it off with their dates and yours is in the bathroom somewhere.


10. The bus ride home can go either of two ways: your date is wearing Joey's face or you are. I don't know which one is better.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
