Theory Disproved

Title: A theory disproved: Chelsea has no "game" anymore (not that she ever really did...)

Abstract: Yesterday, September 7, 2009 goes down in history as the day that disproved a scientific theory.

Introduction: The theory: If you pretend you are interested in something that a member of the opposite sex is interested in, they will invite you to take part in that activity with them regardless if they really intend to do it.

Example:

Guy: I LOVE baseball. I go to all the BYU baseball games
Girl: Oh my gosh! I love baseball too, but I haven't been able to make it to any of the games, but I would love to go! (which may or may not be true)
Guy: We should go sometime! (which also may or may not be true)
Girl: Yeah!

There you have it.

Now the last part of the theory is important, because people don't necessarily have to do what they say they should do.

Real Life Example: Alexis and inviting people over for dinner.

If you know Alexis, you have probably been invited over for Sunday dinner with her family. When in reality, she has absolutely no intentions of speaking of it again. But this situation still coincides with the theory perfectly. It's the act of inviting, not the act of actually doing that is important here.

But last night, the theory was disproved. Big time.

Methods: Lex and I had just gotten back from a run, and were sitting on the front steps of our apartment, when an undisclosed member of our ward whom we both know came and spoke with us for a little bit. The subject turned to mountain biking (he is an avid mountain biker).

Results: I said, "Lex and I have always wanted to go mountain biking! It seems like so much fun!" This is his answer - are you ready for it?

"Well, if you ever need someone to fix your bike, I can help."

Discussion: Oh man. I had to check if my nose was broken from having the door slammed in my face so hard. My nose was still intact but my pride was another story.

Conclusions: Theory Disproved.
