"Call Me Maybe"-The Verb.

Once upon a time, Carly Rae Jepsen wrote a catchy song that got stuck in everyone's head. That song was called, "Call Me Maybe." Originally, she figured it might be played on the radio and that maybe she'd make some money off of it. However, what she didn't know was that this song would start a revolution in the dating world. This is the story of when "Call Me Maybe" became not only a song title, but also a verb.

Call Me Maybe- (verb) def: a dating technique in which a person (usually a girl) gives a stranger or acquaintance a secret note that says, "Hey, I just met you, and this is crazy, but here's my number. -insert phone number here- So call me, maybe?"

So what happened when my roommates and I heard about this new fad? Well, we jumped on the bandwagon of course! An opportunity as great as this simply can't be passed up. The Onetimer Call Me Maybed someone first, (maybe if you're lucky she'll tell you the story sometime) and her date went great! A few days later she somehow convinced me to do it too. I decided to Call Me Maybe a guy I met in class last semester who I thought was really cute. We were friends on Facebook so I sent him an email that went something like this, "Hey, I know I just met you a couple times in Living Prophets, so this is crazy. But if you want to go out sometime, here's my number (#) So call me! Maybe?" After about a week or so, he finally called and asked me out! The Onetimer, The Friendly Kisser, and The Heartbreaker just happened to be in the car with me when this happened, so obviously we blasted Call Me Maybe, danced, and sang as loud as humanly possible after I got off the phone. A few days later, Call Me Maybe Boy took me to dinner and an outdoor play. He was cute and fun, we laughed a lot. It was never awkward. Overall, a great first date! I don't know if we'd ever date each other, but he's someone I could easily be friends with. Honestly, the best part about this whole thing was that I did something I normally wouldn't do (after all, I am the Cautious Charmer, and this was anything but cautious) and it turned out to be a lot of fun! Maybe I should be a little less cautious more often. :)
