Bad date folklore at BYU : why dating boys at BYU sucks / Bethanie Rogers, 2005
Scope and Contents note
Rogers interviews college-aged girls to determine what constitutes a bad date. She finds that too much unsolicited physical contact and lack of courtesy and etiquette qualify a date as "bad." Rogers especially focuses on a particular aspect of dating that is unique to Brigham Young University, in which boys returning from two-year proselytizing missions try to adjust to the dating scene and oftentimes make social mistakes. Rogers finds that dates with returned missionaries will be classified as "bad" dates if the missionary talks too much about his mission, treating the date like a checklist, or planning overly typical or uncomfortably creative dates. Rogers concludes that her interviewees are too picky and expect too much immediate romance out of love. Created by Bethanie Rogers when she was enrolled in Eric Eliason's English 391 course in Winter 2005.
