For a single girl, the weeks leading up to a sorority date party can be a time of stress and anxiety. There’s some big decisions that have to be made leading up to the event. Who will you ask? What dress will you wear? What shoes will you wear?
The worst decision out of those three for most girls though is easily who will you ask. Most if not all girls hate having to ask someone to be their date. It's one of the things most of us dread doing. Eventually, the date party approaches and we have no other choice but to search for a reasonable date. Typically, around two weeks from the date of the date party girls begin going through a series of steps to decide who the lucky guy will be.
These steps usually include:
1. Find out who your friends are bringing. It’s important that whoever you bring will know someone other than you so you don’t spend your entire night entertaining them and unable to talk to anyone else.
2. Make a mental list of possibilities (unless you prefer an actual physical list). Everyone needs options. You can't possibly make the right choice without having a couple guys to choose from. These options could be random guys your friends offer to set you up with. Often these are your friend's boyfriend's friends. Or you can go with guys you actually know well enough to ask yourself.
3. Weigh your options. Finding someone who will be fun and easy going. You do not need some clingy date who will be obnoxious all night. A pros and cons list is always helpful.
4. Make a selection. At this point you just gotta pick one because the date is quickly approaching and waiting till two days before is a big no no (even though we've all done it a time or two). If you can't decide between two guys flip a coin. A coin flip can help make all difficult decisions.
5. Ask for your friends opinion. It's like they say in Mean Girls: "You wouldn't buy a skirt without asking your friends first if it looks good on you." You always need your friends approval. They have to agree with your date choice because they're gonna be stuck hanging out with him too.
6. Actually ask the guy. Usually if it's a set up it involves an awkward text saying, "Hi Miranda, told me you wanted to come to our date party Saturday. Would you like to go with me?" Or if you're asking one of your guy friends it's way more comfortable with a "Hey, come to my date party with me saturday"-type text.
7. If he says no it's probably because he has a some super important family thing or prior commitment. Otherwise he’d totally love to go with you. If No. 7 occurs, return to Step 3.
