Is it the Water?

So what is it about being in Kentucky that has enabled me to make more guy friends than girl friends? It seems like as soon as I got into Kentucky, there's been this natural ease with guys that was never there before. I don't know if it was 'cus I had pre-conceived notions about guys' social cliques and their reputations, but now that I am with a new set of people, it seems like there are lots of guys that are befriending me.

Am I prettier than other girls here? Am I being more outgoing than usual? Maybe it's just the fact that no one knows me as the "smart, quiet, Christian girl" here. Mary says the family curse is broken b/c of me. Maybe college has just forced me to make new friends and guys are simpler to talk to... Hmmm, I'm really intrigued as to why I have made so many guy friends so quickly, and so many more guy friends than girl friends. Look at my phone and there are more guys at Asbury than girls. Maybe I am just doing that b/c I feel insecure and want to feel valued... Who knows. Oh well, interesting topic though (to me).

Examples: Charlie said that I should go to a basketball game with him sometime (in his hometown, an hour away from school) 'cus I have never been to one and don't know anything basketball and tonight Charlie volunteered to help me study for our Aural Training test.
Andrew went running with me the other night and has gone with me to Walmart and Sonic.
Brad asked if I would like to eat lunch with him today, in addition to coming over during his open dorm (the one night a month that girls can go into the guys' dorms).
Matt made me a smoothie the other night because I mentioned that I like them, Sam of course has already been talked about. I need to make girl friends too though... I run with Irene, cheer with Erin and Bri, talk to Keturah and Julie. Of course, I have other friends than that, but those are the ones I talk to the most. I'm really looking forward to getting to know everyone the next 4 years.
