I’m going to be discussing a pet peeve. I know what you’re thinking, “oh my goodness I hope I don’t do anything that bothers him.” Unless you are sneezing on the back of my luscious waves then chances are you don’t bother me too much. This is “A Blog All About Jalen” they will be things that bother me, not things that bother you. I’m sure most of you out there reading this will agree with what I have to say, but as always there will be a few who don’t. If you don’t agree with me then most likely you’ve never been in this type of situation, and I respect that.
My Pet Peeve is dating in general. My main frustration might be something that hits a little closer to home with my male audience rather than the females reading this. To the guys out there, I have a question for you. “Have you ever worked hard and saved up money to take a nice lady out on a date?” I’m hoping you have, so that we can share this pain together. Anyway, saving all that money to take a girl out and they want to be on the phone the whole time! That’s the worst. Ladies, here’s some advice: us gentlemen don’t save up the money to take you on a date for you to be on the phone the entire time. WE WANT YOUR ATTENTION!!!!! So if that’s what you intend to do, here is a solution. Save your own money, take the guy out, and then you can be on the phone the whole time and we won’t even mind because we aren’t paying for things. It’d be nice to get a compliment once in a while too. Just saying.
Going on a movie/dinner date with your lady is always a fun time. But WOW doesn’t it cost so much? I remember the last time me and a date went to flag to watch a movie and eat; it took all my Christmas money. No shoes for meL. (Feb 4th I’m getting a new pair though)It was a fun time though. As a guy we go in to the date expecting to pay for everything. Ladies, from what I’ve been told you all actually do have a heart so you know maybe step up and offer to buy some overpriced drink at the theater. That could possibly determine if we have enough gas in the tank to make it home. If we run out of gas; I’m sorry, but you are going to be walking home. That’s just some food for thought girls. We know you aren’t going to pay for the 38 dollar dinner ticket when you ordered the most expensive thing on the menu, but make an offer on the drinks. Just an offer. Kindness goes a long way, like all those miles back to your house. Because I do not mind leaving you stranded in Flagstaff. Moral of this blog: Either get a job and be able to afford to take your girl out, or go without shoes for another month. It’s a tough choice I know.
P.S. I wouldn’t leave anybody stranded in flag. Those comments were made only for humorous blogging purposes. Deep inside I’m sure I have feelings somewhere
Jalen, I am glad that you chose to share this information with us because I think it's something everyone should keep in their minds!
ReplyDeleteAnd even from a ladies point of view I agree with you. Shoot. Money is tight!! If your going on a date with someone it really is nice to try to help them out with some cash. Especially if they are spending their money on you instead of buying new shoes... that's an intense choice to make.

Jalen,
ReplyDeleteI was laughing the whole time I was reading this...but I might have a little suggestion for you. Girls will not go somewhere without money...we need our accessories and I bet if you just asked a little nicely for your date to cover the drinks then maybe she will. I'm just saying that in this type of situation, if you asked politely, then I would be willing to pay. Girls do have hearts and we do feel your pain....sometimes! :) j I really do love this one though !!

Jalen, I think this blog may be one of the truest things I've ever had the privilege to read. I've never had to give up a pair of shoes to take a lady on a date, but still! It's good someone spoke up to let the ladies know of our troubles. I think the message can be applied to things beyond the monetary as well. For example, how often does a guy rearrange his schedule to spend time with his sweet woman? Maybe a little rescheduling isn't always a big deal, but overtime, it can cause real issues. Listen to this guy, ladies. He knows things. Also, if you pay attention he'll make you laugh. That's a valuable thing. Keep up the good posting J.

jalen jackson! oh man was this the most interesting blog I have ever read! I just like to say some girls do tend to offer to pay for things but the guys usually say "no baby its okay i got this, i dont want you to spend your money..." ha ha! But I can honestly say that it is annoying when your date is on their dang phone when you just want them to put it away until after the date is over! I think I would sticking with the new pair of shoes...i love new shoes, i think their better than a date that last about a day when shoes can last you like forever! ha! anyways, i liked the fact that you were being honest about paying for movie/dinner dates...not most guys do that!
