Hey.
I don't know who would still be reading this at this point, since the last post was over a year ago, and the last post before that was almost two years ago. But if you're out there, I'm thinking of starting this up again. It would give me something to do, and I still am extremely interested in this topic.
I just got home from hanging out with two friends, and we basically talked for hours about relationships, hookups, dating, etc. And after a year in college, I think we all have new experiences, insights and opinions to share.
And I'd like to continue again, and this time include more voices. Duncan and I are only two people with only our personal experiences to talk about, which are naturally limited. And there are many people out there who can't relate to us, but may be able to relate to others. Like people who have never been kissed. People who have never been in a relationship and people who have never been in love. Single people, casual daters, drunken-hookups-only type people. People who have dated one person on and off for years. People who want to save themselves for marriage, or just love. People who want to get it over with. Perhaps there are people who would be open to blogging about their sex lives (or lack thereof).
This stuff can get personal. So what if we made the authors anonymous? Maybe just with a simple label like "Nerdy Guy" or "Hot Girl" or "Bro" (ha). This way, we could all be more honest and open, which would open up more discussion.
We could definitely revisit some of the topics we've already gone over, since I'm sure our opinions have changed, even just slightly. I mean, we're college students now. Surely we've had our fair share of embarrassing stories, awkward hookups, and perhaps experimentation - and now there's illegal substances and their effects to be added into the mix.
Here's a thought. I think I have forgotten how to flirt. And that's just awful! Tips, lessons, anecdotes - all totally welcome in my book. And maybe there are people who just plain never knew how (ahem).
And it's summer! I don't know anyone who's not looking for a summer fling. And there's also the awkwardness of being home for the summer with high school friends we said goodbye to last year, and the anticipation of going back to school with a totally new set of people (freshmen!) to eye. Or someone you had to put on hold for the summer, and you want to see how it goes come fall.
I just love this blog because we discuss so many different things, and the possibilities are endless, and everyone can find something to learn or think about - it's so applicable to our lives. We're all college students or high-schoolers, and we're all going through the same things, more or less.
I apologize for the all-over-the-place-ness of this post. It's late. I have to wake up in four hours. Comment with thoughts!
