Basketball with the girls. I finally got the girls to get off the bench and play. Believe me it's harder than you could ever imagine to get these girls to play basketball! Volleyball is fine, in fact everything is fine...only basketball isnt.
It was great. Basketball is a great place to meet people, especially guys. The girls always tell me that they wanna meet a particular person who plays b-ball, but since they aren't that into the sport, there's no way that they would ever have the chance to accidently purposely run into the person.
And then there's me. I play. I have always played. So they take the opportunity to watch me, of course the cute guys just so happen to be there and they just so happen to have checked them out, so it works out perfectly.
Thing is what if I'm not there? Then they have no good excuse. heh, so to solve all their problems, they just have to play for themselves. Though I'm sure that's not the reason that they joined me for ball that day. It is a good theory never the less. heh.
I said "hey, we're playing ball let's go" and they said "huh, waaan meh?" I said "yup" and that's how they were forced into basketball that evening.
We played with little kids, another girl, and three or four seasoned players - guys. It was pretty funny. Hopefully they had fun and they'd wanna do it again. It's not that hard a game once you get the hang of it. Girls won 5 out of 6 games. Heh! I think that was good for the girls confidence.
Anyways I dont tell them to do things all that often, well at least I dont make it seem like I tell them what to do. So when I actually do, it's an offer they cannot refuse.
Best part about basketball is having a drink afterwards. People talk about sports being a way to meet people. It's the going out for dinner/drink after basketball that makes the friends.
It's a completely cool, unintentioned gathering. Anyways you just had to be there.
