Personal Narrative: An Interview With A New Girl

Superior Essays
I’ve never had a girlfriend before. I just couldn’t approach girls in the same way as what my friends do. I see each of them makes a cute couple and wonder if I can find my soulmate soon. There are actually a few times when I meet a new girl and think, “Oh! she’s so lovely and nice to me. I want to know her more.” But I mostly let go of my chances. It’s always hard for me to approach a girl directly since I’m not a handsome guy. But this time, my destiny brought me to meet a very nice lady. And I thought a short and shy boy, like me, might have some chances to be more than just her friend.
College is one of the many places to meet new lady friends. I was in the same group as this girl during the orientation. “Do you guys play any sports?” she

But I didn’t ask her out explicitly. I pretended that it was a coincidence that no other friends were free at that time. And I believed she knew that it was actually planned. But she didn’t say anything. Her face and voice were pretty and lovely as normal. After the midterms week, we spent hours together, walking around the campus and chatting various subjects. I thought I have successfully crossed the boundary of her friend-zone. But I still wondered why she turned back to be so nice to me. I wasn’t a handsome tall guy who plays basketball. I wasn’t a guy who knows which dessert a girl would like. I probably wasn’t a type of guys she liked. But one thing I was sure is that I always didn’t like when a guy talked and laughed with her because at the moment she was so special to me. And I hoped that I was special to her too.
Our current status is just best friends. She still talks friendly with most guys. But actually I’m totally fine with this and I accept everything that has happened or will happen – as long as we still express our care for each other. I think this is what I can call love: some feeling that is gradually better and better, and someone that can always make me happy and smile. I’ve always wanted to say, “I love you.” But I just can’t. I always feel like there is still something between us. And I don’t want to ruin anything again. Everything is complicated, but it’s perfectly good for both of us at the

    I approached her and the words seemed to rush out of my mouth like a waterfall. Then, I panicked and walked away without giving her a chance to react. My heart raced for the rest of the school day, wondering if she had even heard me or understood what I said. Apparently, she heard me loud and clear.…

    As a wise man once said, “Be slow in choosing a friend, slower in changing.” Of course, this wise man is none other than the legendary Benjamin Franklin, American superstar. What was said way back in the eighteenth century is still relevant today, as are many of Franklin’s aphorisms. I myself have lived a personal example of this striking proverb within my lifetime, and have lived to tell the tale. This time last year I was a lowly freshman.…

    Ana Perez Cortes Sociology 101 M-W 9 am Breaking Social Norms There are many norms in our society that tells us how to act in a certain situation. We learn about these norms through our families, schools and social media. Norms are “rules and expectations by which a society guides the behavior of its members” (Macionis, 69).

    She liked to listen to music, play cards and watch sports. On the weekends when she couldn’t go home I would engage in small talk and build gradually. I was always respectful to her, whenever she needed something I provided it for her. After a few months she began to change her behavior and attitude. I told her in life you can’t like everyone but being…

    She came over to where we were sitting and I decided it was my one and only shot to try and talk to her. So, I walked over to Destinee and introduced myself. Everything was going well and we were talking and getting to know each other while we were watching the Varsity boy’s game. Of course I flirted with her and did all those fancy flirting techniques that you see on T.V. and it was fun. However, I noticed she kept cheering for a guy on the team named Kenny.…

    5. The uncertainty reduction theory does is what kind of makes us start the process of the social penetration model. The theory suggests that when we see someone, we are want to get to know them and that’s what makes us start a conversation. Which is the begging of the social penetration model. We first notice the person and then we start a conversation with them and then we start to get to know them.…

She said sure but that she was pretty busy, however I did get her number and sent her a text so she had mine. Now, me being socially fluent in aphasia, especially when I like someone, sent her a text two days later asking if she was busy on the weekend (I sent this on a Friday night too...

    It was the first day of cross country at Notre Dame. I had very minimal experience with running and even less with the strangers on my team. My coach, Coach George, tried to ease the social atmosphere by grouping all of the freshmen together before practice so we could get to know each other. I had arrived early and stood with one other girl as we made polite small-talk. More girls began congregating, and we started talking with each other, but there was a definite tension.…

    Sasha's POV Detention. If sitting in normal class was already so boring I would go stir crazy, detention was even worse. The only distractions I had were Eric, my best friend, sitting only a few meters away, being equally bored and a hot Moroi girl who was in trouble as well who was sitting in front of me. I could admire her slim figure, her long blond hair and her nice tapered hips ending in a slightly round ass. I followed her curves up and down…

    She just became a freshman and it was known that many guys were going to attempt to ask her. I had to ask her before she was taken. But, there was just one problem: I was away at a family camp over a week and by the time I would get back, she would have been asked by a guy I knew. So, I did the most ridiculous way to ask her: I texted her on Sunday in the middle of the night. I felt like such an incompetent fool for not trying to ask her before the camp.…
