Here’s a thing I don’t quite get. People fear what they do not understand. Just this morning I asked two young girls I thought might want to go with me to a picnic/dance/bonfire in Fairborn. Now of course I didn’t ask them at the same time, and both of them would have wanted to go. Strangely, but not surprisingly, their parents were… apprehensive. The first girls parents knew that I had just turned 18, so they of course, denied my request. the second was the same. I understand their fear. If some unknown young man came asking to see my daughter, I would guard her as jealously as I would guard a hoard of treasure. It doesn’t bother me that I was rejected. but what does bother me, is the intolerant, and almost,fearful manner in which I was rejected. Why do they back away? What reason have I given them to fear me? My record is spot clean and I have a clear conscience. I’m a Believer in Christ, and a DeMolay, which means I have honor and am bound by certain vows and oaths, the violation of which, would cause me to lose the honor I have worked so hard to gain. I want to know, why is it that I cannot ask these parents to, instead of backing away in fear, to ask me questions, so that I can show them they have nothing to fear. I’m good young man, and I have 100 others, both young men and women, who will say the same thing. and to parents. I can understand why you are afraid to see me, or any young man, for that matter, ask for your daughter to come on a date with us. The slightest lapse in judgment, the slightest error, and you could lose a lot. But you must understand, that fear is highly irrational.
the girls i might add were 16 and 15-ish and I happen to know these girls very well.
I’m also not interested in sex with them.
I forgot to mention that I am a virgin myself, and am a such a nerd that I am not likely to get laid, and most girls at my high school are whores any way, and they do not look at me as someone they can date, but rather, as an interesting conversational piece.
