148th Ask Josh - Asking Guys Out for High School dances
Jessy wrote on my Facebook wall...
sorry to bother you with my juvenille high school business, but do you have any creative ways to ask a lovely man to a girls choice dance????
...
Dear Jessy,
Some possible solutions:
- Start a Facebook club dedicated to you and him going to a dance, make it a secret club.
- Cover his personal property with post-it notes.
- Oreo his car.
- Give him a tape with the Mission: Impossible music and then give him his mission.
- Get a pack of girls to bombard him with a fleet of paper airplanes with the message
- Ask over the intercom at school
- Make a path of arrows on the ground leading through various obstacles and finally to a cleverly placed invitation.
- Take a pumpkin. Carve a face in it, or print a picture of the man and tape it to the front of the pumpkin. Film yourself throwing the pumpkin from a high height. Threaten to do the same to the man if he doesn't go with you.
- Make a YouTube invitation like one of my friends did. You can find it here at this link.
- Ask him out in a parade.
- Just call the man and ask him out. I promise he'll never expect it.
- Have 20 girls go up to him and say they don't want to go out with him, one after the other. Then you can come in and save the day and say, "I'll go out with you, bro."
- Have a teacher hold him up after class as if he is in a lot of trouble, then threaten to suspend him or something if he doesn't go with you.
- Paint the invitation on the side of a tire and roll it to him.
- Take a string, have it start at his locker and have it lead to your locker with an invitation on it.
Alright, I gotta get to bed. Good luck with all that.
Love,
Josh

147th Ask Josh - In the City
Kjirsten said...
how about just advice on moving to a new city period
...
Dear Kjirsten comma
First things first comma you have to actually use punctuation period Otherwise you apostrophe ll come off as a countrified turdy bird period Is that what you want question mark I thought not exclamation point
If you're moving to a new city, you don't want to stand out. You certainly don't want to look like a tourist, like I always do. Personally, I love wearing the sandals with knee hyphen high black socks.
My experience has not been moving to cities but from them. I have moved from a city to a suburb, then from a suburb to the country. Only time I moved from the country to the city was in the mission. So pardon my backwards reasoning.
Some keys:
You have to beat the shmageggie off of someone to make an example of them. I learned that from all the prison movies I have ever seen. I think it applies to the city, otherwise those urban people will test ya.
You have to go to Wal-Mart, that's what my 3-year-old niece says.
When you get there, you have to meet the locals and eat some of their customary food. For me, that means eating a pig tongue by cutting it right out of the tooth-decayed head of the pig, followed by the snout which you will cut straight off the front of the face, then the hoof, and finally slurping the skin off of a cold chicken foot. I don't think they serve those parts of the pig in most cities anymore, maybe a good shmageggie roast.
After that, you might want to get familiar with some of the local tourist attractions. Not because you need to know that stuff, it's just that you'll never see them otherwise. You'll keep putting them off by saying, "I'm a local, I can go anytime." But then you won't until after you have moved away and then you go on vacation back to your old city.
Find out the best place to meet singles. If the city is any kind of a city worth moving to at all, I would check out the local Ripley's Believe it or Not, or the Wax museum.
Then you have to kick someone's shmageggie again. You know, to keep the example fresh.
Then you join a pickup game of a locally popular sport, maybe curling, jai alai, or parkour. Pick one person and tell them that you personally are going to make sure they don't score the rest of the game. And put your hands right in front of their eyes without touching them. They won't be able to see, but they can't get mad, cause you're not touching them. This doesn't work if you move to Provo though, those boys will flip out if you do that. They'll come after your shmageggie. Don't believe me? Sign up for some intramural sports and try them out.
When you move to the city, you're going to need some essential items and accessories to not look like a bumpkin, a hayseed, or a folk. For example, if you want to make it in the city, you need to own lots of purses, and lots of shoes. This is important because they steal your shoes a lot and all the city dogs mess up your purses as you're walking through town. I've seen it done. They'll steal your shoes right off of you. Because they know that you'll be expecting a purse snatcher, but modern city people are too savvy to get caught committing such a cliche crime.
Get a sidekick. A squirrelly person preferrably.
...like Rizzo.
...or Lennie.
...or Jermaine.
...or Kato Kaelin.
Get a gun. A big one.
Get a bus pass.
...and a subway pass
...and a helicopter license
...and a boat (especially if you're moving to Venice).
Develop a strong strut.
Practice it while riding a bike.
And go to Church.
Speaking of which, mine starts in a few minutes. Good luck!
Love,
Josh

146th Ask Josh - Date Ideas
Mandy says...
question: what are fun creative date ideas for my boyfriend and me? I hear you have some good ones :)
....
Dear Mandy,
answer:
- Feeding the ducks at the pond.
- Eating Chinese food with chopsticks.
- Hiking the Y
- Hiking the I next to Provo College at the Ivy Academy on 800 N, approximately 1450 W.(which is significantly shorter as it is 30 feet from the bottom to the top.)
- Covering the dashboard of your car with Post-It notes. Going to the car wash and opening the windows during the blow-drying stage.
- Walking around with different colored Post-It notes and seeing how many people you can stick them to without them noticing.
- Settlers of Catan
- Get some chalk, draw a circle, play Marbles.
- Play racquetball at the RB, even if neither of you know how.
- Go to the Dollar Store and buy fun things.
- Get a rubber playground ball and play four-square
- Rent a tandem bike from Outdoors Unlimited and ride it somewhere to have a picnic.
- Borrow two baseball gloves and a ball and play catch.
- Play catch with a frisbee on top of a parking garage.
- Go to International Cinema
- Go to the Museum of Art
- Go to the Monte L. Bean museum and draw pictures of the things on display.
- Set up a miniature golf course on campus.
- Make dinner together.
- Go to Denny's in the middle of the night.
- Go to an airport with a Welcome Home sign and cheer for any person you see coming out of the gates, even better if there happens to be a missionary coming home that day.
- Go to Sensuous Sandwich.
- Go to Sub-Zero for ice cream.
- Make paper airplanes and see how far you can throw them from the top of a high building.
- Buy a television at Deseret Industries and blow it up.
- Go to the planetarium either at the Gateway mall in Salt Lake or to the one in the Eyring Science Center on campus (Friday nights only, I think)
- Ride the TRAX or a UTA bus and talk to people you meet there. Write a story about them afterwards.
- Make homemade popsicles by pouring Sprite into an ice cube tray with toothpicks in it.
- Go to a laundromat and put toys in the dryer, start it up. Then go to a corner and film people's reactions when they hear the clanging of the objects in the dryer.
- Make banana splits.
- Climb trees.
- Skip rocks on Utah lake.
- Go to the ROPES course on Center street (you'll need to get a bigger group and reserve the place in advance)
- Go to the tumbling gym (same as the last one).
- Learn magic tricks online and then do a magic show for each other or for someone. Just learn the tricks.
- Go to the perfect park behind Wal-Mart and discuss all the reasons why it is indeed a perfect park.
- Film Archive Series in the Library
- Making popsicle stick crafts.
- Watch your favorite YouTube videos on a projector on campus (YouTube is allowed there now).
- Apples to Apples
- Taking a tire to the top of Squaw Peak and throwing them off the top to see how far they roll (they roll really far).
- Take chalk and draw Karl G. Maeser circles around yourself and quote Karl's famous chalk circle quote over and over again. Keep saying, "I would die first, I would die first."
- Going to the symphony and then playing the dot game while you're there.
- Go to the music store, get some sheet music, and learn a song together. Preferably a song that you don't know but have been told is classic.
- Find Christmas ornaments during a month of the year when they would be on clearance, like in June. Decorate a regular tree. Then watch "It's a Wonderful Life"
- Go on a culturally themed date. Like, say, Italian night. Go to an Italian restaurant, then go see Divine Comedy or watch "Life is Beautiful" and then go get some gelato.
- Go to a Demolition Derby
- Go to a tractor pull
- Go to a fair and appraise the livestock
- Go tubing down a crick
- Make origami (look it up on WikiHow if you don't know)
- Thanksgiving point - See the dinosaurs, or the yearly corn maze, or whatever else they have there.
- Hopscotch (Thanks, Cici)
- Listen (Thanks, Ryan)
- Play Mario Brothers (Thanks, Helen)
- Go to breakfast, but wear pajamas (Thanks, Ryan)
- Make a lemonade stand, or a passion fruit juice stand (Thanks, Mario).
- Make Shirley Temples and watch a Shirley Temple movie.
- Build-a-Bear
- Get a pedicure together.
- Give each other facials.
Ideas that are not fun, but still a date nevertheless:
- Ice-blocking
- Singing at a retirement home.
- Trafalga
- Batting cages
- Trivial Pursuit
- Curses
- Chess
- Discuss the difference between Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian columns, and then see if you can identify them.
- Roll down a hill (It makes for a very short date, and is only slightly better than ice-blocking)
- Disc golf - Only guys seem to enjoy this.
- Bowling - Usually only one of the two enjoys this. It could go either way.
- Sample gross health drinks, like Tahitian Noni, Wheatgrass at Jamba Juice, etc.

Response from Senator Hatch
Dear Readers,
As you may have read earlier in a blog post conveniently posted on this blog, I addressed the issue of men wearing Capri pants. After finding little hope in the Facebook, I decided to take the issue to the legislative body of our country. I wrote a letter to Senator Orrin Hatch and received an automated response. I thought I would never get an actual letter. I was wrong. I am pleased to present to you my actual letter from a great Utah senator who still represents. If you wish to read the letter (and I highly recommend that you do), simply click on the image below.
Love,
Josh

145th Ask Josh - Roundabout Asking Out
by
Josh, why the lack of posts? is it lack of questions?
Why awful ordeal can be compared to the LSAT?
How did you celebrate your independence day?
How do you know so many people at BYU (at least on facebook for everyone I'm friends with at BYU you're a common friend, even people not in broadcast)
Should we go on a date sometime?
That's like five questions for you to go rampant with...ready, set, go!
....
Dear Natalie,
Josh, why the lack of posts? is it lack of questions?
For the last few weeks I have been heavily involved with my job as a SOAR counselor for Multicultural Student Services. It is a job that requires my full attention 24/5.5. While I love my job and the people I associate with, I am afraid it does not leave me much time for blogging.
And as far as the questions go, I have plenty to answer still. I just have to find some time. I still have more SOAR to do, followed by a week as an EFY counselor, followed by some travels, followed by being a counselor for BYUSA's Foundations of Leadership camp. And then school starts again!
Why awful ordeal can be compared to the LSAT?
It's not so bad. Once you get the hang of it. I actually enjoy taking them now. Now I'm working on the GMAT. Fun times.
How did you celebrate your independence day?
I started out my Independence Day watching Alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window until I fell asleep. When I woke up, I got up and walked to downtown Provo and watched the parade on Center Street with my brother, sister-in-law, and those two adorable nieces of mine. After the parade I was feeling a bit ill, so I mostly stayed inside and watched war movies and read Sherlock Holmes. In the evening I went to the little playground behind the Joseph F. Smith building where I played with my nieces again and then we all watched the fireworks coming out of Lavell Edwards Stadium. Then I ate a Blondie brownie while perusing a sports equipment catalogue at a dear friend's house. It was a fine day indeed.
How do you know so many people at BYU (at least on facebook for everyone I'm friends with at BYU you're a common friend, even people not in broadcast)
My network at BYU has grown through Freshman Academy, 6 on-campus jobs, sitting on the front row of all my general education classes and being very verbose, 5 intramural sports teams, Multicultural Student Services, BYUSA, Pre-Law Student Association, living in three different student wards, and a lot of just walking up to people and talking to them (that's my favorite one).
Should we go on a date sometime?
I still owe you a Jamba Juice for losing that bet. Blasted inversion.
Have a lovely day.
Sincerely,
Josh Guest

144th Ask Josh - Man Fishing
jc said...
Josh say a girl likes a guy, what can she do to get the guy. What are things they can do and things they shouldnt do to get the guys attention. How can we clue you guys in with out being to blunt, or do guys like that? I think this could be very helpful coming from a guys perspective. Thanks
....
Dear jc,
How appropriate of you. This is my 144th Ask Josh. That's a dozen dozen questions answered. That's a gross. This is my gross post. You know what else is gross? Getting a guy.
First of all, if you want to get the guy, you have to get out of the mindset that your story is going to be like the fairy tale endings in movies like Sleepless in Seattle or Pride & Prejudice. Yes, it would be nice to run into Mr. Darcy in the woods and have him declare his love for you after pretending to not give you the time of day. And who wouldn't want to hear Tom Hanks talk about his deceased wife over a nationally syndicated radio show and then meet you on the top of the Empire State building?
Based on what I have seen, women love chick flick and chick lit endings on paper only. For example, if a guy, say Noah on The Notebook, actually hung from a Ferris wheel and promised to commit suicide if you didn't go out with him, would you really clutch your chest and say, "that is soooo sweet." You wouldn't, would you? But you did when you saw it, didn't you?
If you want to get a guy, get real.
That being said, I suppose your question is asking me how forward can you be with guys without coming off as desperate, or "blunt" as you call it.
You have to understand that guys are like balloons. Some can take a lot of pressure and never seem to pop. Others pop at random times with no provocation at all. Some guys do not want to be spoken with at all and just looking at them will cause them to flee, or "pop" in accordance with the balloon analogy. Some require it or will do nothing.
If you are tired of waiting for a guy to ask you out, I have both good news and bad news for you. First, the good news. From Emily Post on Etiquette:
"Fortunately, dating etiquette has changed. Women don't have to sit by the phone hoping someone will call. ... When two people meet and sense that they would like to spend more time together, either may initiate a date." [HarperCollins: New York. 1995. p. 6]
The bad news: most men I know don't know this, or if they do, they don't believe in it. But if you want to ask a guy out and he is offended by it, then shame on him.
Sometimes you just need the guy to get to know you better and it should take care of itself. If that is the case, then invite him over to play Apples to Apples at a game night with various friends. Apples to Apples is fun, no matter what.
Curses is not fun. Don't play that game. I always ask for curses and as soon as I get three collected, I blow them all immediately so I can go home.
Don't call him just to talk. That's worse than curses. Call with a purpose, and when you have fulfilled your purpose, end the conversation without forcing him to say, "Well, I gotta go." And don't say, "well, I guess I'd better let you go." That's conversationally fishing for compliments. You may as well beg him to tell you this conversation is going well and that he wants to keep talking.
Economist Nat Harward said, "You gotta remember, in the dating economy, the man is the dating supplier. You don't want to be demanding something he's not supplying. And if the guy is not supplying opportunities, then, gurl, you outta luck. He just may be supplying in other markets."
Sorry, economically speaking, guys are still the price makers, and women are still the price takers. We determine how much we are willing to invest and potentially lose in the dating world. And you still may have to accept the offers as they come or hold out in hopes of getting a better offer.
If you don't like it. You can take sides with Mrs. Banks in the movie Mary Poppins, "Although we adore men individually, we agree that as a group they're rather stupid."
So, if you're going to take the initiative, then I say, "Go get 'em."
If you're going to wait, then I say, "Go get got."
Love,
Josh
