Alana (15): You know, just because someone flirts a lot doesn't mean they'll get married.
Belinda (17): Yea.
Alana: Well it does.

Chuckling at your girls’ insights. I remember thinking as a teenager that, yeah, if I acted like some of the more popular girls, I’d probably get more guys interested in me, but why would I want to be with a guy who was dumb enough to fall for that kind of fakery? Do you think that maybe, just maybe, there was a little “sour grapes” attitude there?:confused: (Not saying your girls feel that way, just that I did!)

It was the funniest conversation. I wish I could remember more verbatim. The thing is, Alana IS a total flirt. Loves dances, parties, activities, anything with people–particularly boys.
Belinda is much, much more reserved and less out-to-impress.
Of course at EFY, Belinda ended up with the COW (crush of the week) and Alana didn’t.
So this was actually their own a bit of self-analysis along with the other stuff.
Funny.
Oh, and she watched me post it. Absolutely proud about it.
