To the Latina Millennial women who were close to age 15 in 2000: Why didn't a Latina Millennial teen girl start talking to me first like I wanted when she came on the carnival ride that I was already on?
I got on an exciting carnival ride that I wouldn't have had a problem riding by myself.
Turns out, some policy REQUIRED 2 riders to a gondola. I was 15 in 2000, and decided I'd wait for someone to come on with me.
I was a shy teen who wanted girls to ask me out first, so when a Latina girl close to my age came on, I looked straight, maybe turned slightly away, waiting for her to start talking to me by saying "Hi, what's your name? I'm (name.)" Then I would've talked to her from there.
Instead, she yelled something to her friends in Spanish, then told the ride operator she wanted to be let out.
Were Millennial teen boys expected by Millennial teen Latina girls to start talking to them first? Why not they be the ones to talk to the boys first?
And do Millennial men of the 2020s still get expected to talk to women first? Or has this social trend changed and Millennial women can talk to men first? How often?
