Any girl who has struck up a conversation with a guy at a frat party can agree that it either goes really well, or fails miserably.
Usually the typical conversation goes like this:
Girl(yelling over music): “Hey I think you’re in my ___ class right?”
Guy (leaning in because the music can probably be heard from 35 miles away): “Yeah! I knew I recognized you from somewhere.”
Girl: “I’m ____”
*shakes sweaty beer scented hands*
Guy: “I’m ____”
Girl: “What did you think of the last test?”
Guy: “Eh, it wasn’t that bad, some of the short answer questions were hard though.”
Girl: “Yeah true, Professor _____’s test are always like that.”
Guy: “What’s your major?”
Girl: “_____, you?”
Guy: “______.”
And so on. The basic questions mostly just scratch the surface, and it really feels awkward if you aren’t drunk enough and usually ends when there’s a lull in the conversation with something like:
“I’m going to get some more punch, I’ll see you around!”
Here’s some insight into what goes through a girl’s head when talking to a guy at a frat party:
Before:
1. Is that ___ from class?
2. I should talk to him
3. No I shouldn’t
4. He’s so cute though
5. Okay you’re being a baby just go talk to him
6. But maybe he has a girlfriend you don’t know about
7.You’re being ridiculous just go up to him, he’s just another guy
8.But he’s SO CUTE
9.What if he doesn’t think I’m cute?
10.Do I look okay?
11.I need a shot
**takes shot**
12.Alright I got this
During:
**taps guy on shoulder**
13.Oh my god what did I just do
14.He recognizes me? I didn’t even think he noticed me
15.Aw he’s actually nice
16.Okay this is getting a little awkward what do I say next
17.Damn I didn’t realize how tall he was
18.His cologne smells so good
19.FOCUS
20.Wait do I have something in my teeth?
21.Oh my god what did he ask me I can’t remember?!?
22.You’re being an idiot
23.WE’RE RUNNING OUT OF THINGS TO SAY
24.Does he think I’m cute?
25.Is he going to ask for my number?
26.OH MY GOD HE’S ASKING FOR MY NUMBER THIS IS NOT A DRILL
After:
27.I can’t believe I just did that
My best advice for the people who find themselves in the midst of the pulsating vibrations of a frat house is this--don’t go.
KIDDING
When you go out to a frat house or a bar for that matter, don’t go with the expectations of finding your future husband or wife. Go out with the intention of spending time with your friends, creating memories and having a good time. Eventually, things will fall into place and you’ll find your person.
