So, I come home from school and my mom is all giddy.
I ask her what's up, and she says. " I asked the neighbors to come over for dinner. Brush up, and don't make ME look bad."
So I'm like, okay whatever. I was wearing canary yellow with some baby blue jeans, and I really didn't feel like changing, so I just read quietly in my room.
Finally, I was called downstairs. Everyone was already seated. And the only seat available was right next to their son, Henry.
At this point I knew it was a set-up. I sat down beside him anyway, and nodded. He quickly nodded back and shyly grinned.
I only knew Henry for like 6 months now. Never really talked to him, he was sorta…there.
By now, all the Asian parents (aka everyone except my dad) were like:
Henry sounded like he was on a script. He kept asking me these "icebreaker" questions like:
"So what's your favorite sport?"
"How tall are you?"
"How much do you weigh?"
To my surprise, none of the adults said anything the whole time.
When it was time for Henry to leave,since I have to be the nicest girl ever, I wrapped my arm around his. He sorta tried to pull out at first, but then he gave in.
Then the funniest thing happened, as we were walking, Henry's dad whistled at us and flashed a quick
thumbs up at Henry.
Knew it was planned.

It’s my mom’s way of saying “You can’t have a non-Asian boyfriend.”

Obvious arrangement is obvious, and probably not appreciated.

Wow.
I would’ve been epicly icy to him but not in a way that they can pinpoint and punish me for =3
Make it a show for your parents. They can’t force you into doing anything unless they plan it.
This sort of thing would never happen in brown families..they’d make it so that the male/female closeness is at a minimal if anything.
pix plz
Wait wait wait
Is this that Henry kid in my gym class?
The one who’s stupid enough to bring food with him?
This kinda thing only happens with browns when we are talking marriage. We dont have blind dates, we have blind marriages.

It’s not mean. It’s for great justice.
