Young guys: here’s some advice you’re going to ignore.

indefensible:

That girl you like? The one who you want to ask out, but you can’t?

Ask her out. Without delay.

Because what do you have right now? Nothing. Right now, you don’t have the girl. The girl, you do not have.

When you ask her out, she could reject you. That would blow. But it doesn’t diminish you, you’re left in the exact same position you’re in right now. Without the girl.

But she could say the only word in the world that really brings happiness. She could say ‘yes’.

I did. It worked. And it’s was pretty neat. Now it sucks pretty hard. Worse than if I had gotten shut down in the first place.
