My Unofficial Scientific Experiment

I've been conducting an unofficial scientific experiement. I've reached a hypothesis and I'm ready to share my findings with the rest of the scietific world.

It turns out, that a girl, whether 16 or 22 or 36, will do really silly things for a boy that she likes. It's true. I've studied this subject for quite some time and the results are always the same.

Names have all been changed in the below scenerios.

Exhibit A: Sixteen-year-old Jodie really likes 16-year-old Jordan. They don't go to the same high school, but they are Facebook friends. Jodie didn't want to go to the Sadie Hawkins dance because she didn't feel like she had time to plan a fun activity. Jordan mentioned he would love to go to the Sadie Hawkins Dance. Two days before the dance, Jodie found a group of friends willing to go to the dance and quickly made up an elaborate plan to ask Jordan.

By the way, he said yes and they had a great date.

Exhibit B: Twenty-five-year old Cami decided she had a crush on Brad. It's October so Cami planned a murder-mystery date, complete with costumes. Brad said yes and the date was well underway. Cami actually asked Brad for the date two weeks in advance. Two days before the date, Brad hurt his back and was ubale to go on the date. When Brad canceled, Cami offered to bring cookies and ice cream to "cheer Brad up."

Exhibit C: Thirty-six-year-old Jen talks to a boy who lives two states away every day. This boy told Jen he was craving cinnamon rolls. One problem. This boy is allergic to gluten. So Jen offers to bake him gluten-free cinnamon rolls. Problem number two, Jen has never made cinnamon rolls in her life - and she isn't known for her fine baking skills.

Based on my conclusive evidence, it appears that girls will do silly, out-of-character things in order to get a boy's attention.

Part 2 of the scientific experiment is examining if said silly things actually succeed in earning attention. Stay tuned for the results.
