Soical Text Observations

I am sitting down in Starbucks on the lower level of the LRC at when I overhear a conversation between three girls, approximately between the ages of 18-20. The conversation was lead by one of the three girls in particular:

Conversation leader: "Well yeah, I don't know if we are actually dating. I mean, its not like I'd call him my boyfriend or anything. But we are like, You know, hehehe. I don't know, I think he must be afraid of rejection or something. But whatever, I guess its all good the way things are right now. He is so funny.Tra-la-la"

My interpretation of the thoughts of friend one and friend two based on facial expressions: 'O geeze, he is probably just another scum bag who is getting what he wants from her. And he probably doesn't want to go facebook official because he is just playing her and other girls at the same time. I sure hope she doesn't fall too hard for this fool. Why hasn't this chump asked to meet us yet, we are her best friends. That is a sure sign that he is not looking for any thing serious. Is she? I wonder? not enough to ask though, id rather keep reading this book so i can get my homework done before we go to the Vera bar tonight.'

Of course my perspective, as a male and as an outsider was a little bit different: O great, I'm down here trying to work on my school work. I have so much to do to make sure I don't fall behind in my classes. Typical. This girl over here is blabbing about some guy she claims she isn't dating. She is. He may be seeing other people too, but she is devoted. She thinks he might be afraid of rejection... well that's plausible, who likes to be rejected. Well if that is the case, maybe SHE should ask him if he would like to be exclusive. Women always think its the mans job to bring up that conversation. She is probably going to try to hard to win him over, and then push him away when all she needs to do is bring it up. poor girl. Its really loud down here. not an ideal place to try to get work done.
