Ask your crush out for an end of the semester date
Written by Matthew Thomas, Apr 29, 2013, 0 Comments
Whether it’s the girl you spent the whole semester sitting next to but were too afraid to talk to, or the guy you had to admired from a distance in lab because of assigned seating, or even that special teacher you convinced yourself was always looking at you when speaking to class, time is running out to tell that person how you feel.
Finals week is the only thing keeping that person from exiting your life forever, so you should probably say something. I should clarify that example with the teacher only applies to graduating students.
A lot can change over the summer. They could transfer, drop out of school, meet a significant other, or in the case of the teacher, get another job — all without knowing how you felt about them. And if they do return, they probably won’t even remember who you are since you never talked to them in the first place. Approaching them at that point might just be creepy.
You don’t want that to happen.
Put on whatever outfit makes you feel like you could accomplish anything in.
Do something new with your hair so it might attract some attention.
Throw a fist full of Altoids in your mouth and take a leap of faith.
Now the question remains: how do you go about it? You could give them a note before or after class (if you’re a shy one). You could make a huge display of affection during class by distracting everyone taking a final (for those of you that are showmen). You could even offer to help your crush cheat on the final (and risk expulsion).
As a last resort, you might want to consider simply asking the person out on date. Try to finish your final before they do (but don’t actually rush — you don’t want to risk an “A” on a maybe) and time it so you two can leave class at the same time. Strike up a conversation about how easy or hard the final was.
Get comfortable making conversation, take a deep breath and make your move.
“Iron Man 3” comes out this weekend. Ask if they want to see it with you — who doesn’t want to see that? If your crush doesn’t want to see “Iron Man 3” then you’re probably better off without them. Just get your date to meet you in the theater and let Tony Stark take care of the rest.
By the way, don’t actually throw a fist full of Altoids into your mouth. One or two should suffice. Good luck!
