Telling someone that you liked them seemed so much easier when you were younger, didn’t it?  I remember writing my first “do you like me” note when I was in the 3rd grade.  Of course I was shot down with a circled “NO”.  I felt pretty stupid and ugly, but I didn’t know any better!  I just thought that meant I wasn’t pretty.  I remember telling my dad that the boy I liked didn’t like me back.  I’m sure that made my dad’s heart sink.  How could his little princess be shot down by some stupid boy, right?  Then, that is when my dad told me to wait for the boy like me first, or in filipino terms, wait for them to “court” me.  WTF?  I was confused. As I got older, I sent a couple more “do you like me” notes and never had one return with a big “YES”.  I finally learned my lesson after the 3rd time of rejection.

I wonder how that would work out today if we used this note system instead having a guy propose on ONE KNEE asking me to marry him.  I’d rather have this note instead of the one knee gesture.  But that’s just me. :)

I guess it’s already happening….on twitter.  Whatever works.
