On the outside this seems like a pretty good gig. I get to go out with lots of girls. Sometimes I don’t even have to ask them. They will just come up to me, like when Sandy
Koch asked if I wanted to go to a movie. She needed a designated In-Betweener so she could go to prom in three
weeks with Alan Stevens. Sandy and Alan
had already seen the movie, or, let me restate that, they had been in the dark
room where the movie was playing. Sure,
as the designated In-Between date I didn’t have to ask her out, but it turned
out that she actually wanted to see the movie now that it was me and not Alan
next to her. Bummer.
All of the girls I go out with would much rather be with
someone else. Julie Thompson spent the
whole time at Putt-Putt talking about Jeffrey Horner, all of the things that
they had done together and what a great missionary he will be. I’m not sure that she understands some of the
church’s rules or what makes a great missionary. And it seemed like a good idea when she said
that she wanted to “try some things out on me,” but it wasn’t as much fun when she
started whispering Jeffrey’s name. And I
don’t even want to know what was up with that nickname!
Sometimes being the designated In-Between date can be okay.
I get the inside scoop on lots of relationships, and I have learned a lot about
how girls think. It isn’t all misery in
the permanent friend zone. But I’m not sure that this is keeping kids from getting
serious. Sometimes the girls just have
me pick them up and then drop them off at some party, only to have me pick
them up later. I know that Bella is
still upset about her family’s dating rule, and she said that half the reason
she still sees Logan Price is because her parents don’t like him. She might have dumped him by now, but, let me
tell you, it won’t be for the designated In-Betweener.
