Before I could really, truly understand what it was, I had heard of the booty call. TV shows, movies, newspaper and magazine articles about the inability of my generation to actually date drilled the concept of a booty call into my head.
Now that I'm in college, the booty call phenomenon is a bit more real to me. If you receive a text to hang out after a certain time on really any day of the week, you, my friend, are most likely receiving a booty call.
Hey, no judgement here. Pick it up, ignore it, do whatever you damn please. It's 2015, and I think we've progressed past the hype of the booty call. It just doesn't shock us anymore. We can all agree that it's time for a new craze.
I present to you: the foodie call.
The booty call is too played out. No guy is going to sweep me off my feet with a "Hey, wanna come over?" text at 2 in the morning. He will, however, have me putting on my jacket and sneakers in record time with a text that reads "Lincoln Diner. You in?" Absolutely I'm in. It's fun, different, and potentially delicious.
The beauty of the foodie call is that it excludes no one. You don't have to want to hook up with someone to send out that foodie call! My friend texted another friend of mine and me on Tuesday night asking us to go get some late night omelets and mozzarella sticks. It was entirely platonic, but still the best invitation I've gotten to anything all week.
This being said, throwing in a foodie call here and there could absolutely up your game. A friend of mine described a situation in which she received a text asking her to hang out - dangerously close to a booty call. However, he saved the situation by following up with another message saying "I have food." Those three magic words were more tempting than anything else he could have proposed. Here we have a fusion of the booty call and the foodie call. A foodie-booty call, if you will.
You may regret that grilled cheese or those french fries tomorrow morning, but that's far better than regretting Steve from down the hall or Jessica from bio class. No shame here!
"Bro, you get it in with Lauren last night?!"
"Yup, the whole pizza."
