I laugh to myself, thinking, wow what a pussy hahahaha, but then I thought about my own situation and got a big healthy serving of self loathing. Turns out, I'm in pretty much the same situation as him, being too much of a pussy to ask out a girl I like in my Management class. Fuck my life. Like the op in the aforementioned thread, I too don't consider myself to be terribly successful with the ladies. I'm not handsome, I don't have too much wit, all I got is some academic intelligence.
I decided that the Mohammed Ali video was all the motivation I needed. No, I'm not joking here, I'm dead serious. I watched the Ali video and finally worked up the courage to walk up to her in the library and say hi. Things didn't go as well as you all suggested in the thread. I mean, some of the people in the thread responded, you made it seem like a done deal and all people have to do is initiate the hi and everything else would fall into place because the girl is "obviously" already attracted to you.
I got a cold, "hey" before she went back to her laptop and books, seeming totally uninterested in me after a quick glance. Fuck this, I thought, I'm too fucking pumped up from the Mohammed Ali vid and that comic with the guy on the train to give it up that quick!
I say, "And you are.....?" while making waving motions with my hand to try to get her to divulge her name (I already know her name, I just wanted to make it seem like I didn't notice her until now). She smiles a little but I can tell it's kind of forced. I look her in the eye and pause, a moment of silence. She says, "Hi, I'm Olivia, nice to meet you...?" while making the same waving gesture I did, but in a mocking- not a teasing way.
At this point, I was thinking about just leaving and I was so nervous that I honestly forgot to answer her question and tell her my name. Instead, I started getting all giddy for some reason and just started talking about management class. I was just spewing random garbage like "damn, my prof was a bitch today, having us do a value chain analysis on the quiz when nobody fucking understood it for homework". She replied, "yeah, mine too." I responded, "yeah, obviously, since we have the same class." At this point, I honestly wanna kill myself. I just gave away the fact that I did know her before seeing her in the library. But the horror continued. "Oh, yeah, I kinda remember seeing your face there, you're in the back row aren't you?" she asked.
I pretty much can't recall much of what was said afterwards but I can remember that we had a really really boring conversation about class and homework and stuff, not the kind of stuff that makes me sound interesting. After a moment of awkwardness, I decide to go for it, even though I didn't see any signs of interest from her. I asked for her number and she said, "Sorry, I already have a boyfriend."
It was at this point that something inside me clicked.
I immediately remembered some post in the motivation thread that some guy named danmooj1 made about what the op should do if the girl had a boyfriend. "Just because the goalie is blocking the goal doesn't mean you can't score right?"
I look her in the eyes, moving my head closer to hers, and say in the most seductive voice I've ever mustered, "You know, in soccer, just because the goalie is blocking the goal doesn't mean you can't score, right?"
And from there, everything seemed to go right for me. The humor and wit just came naturally to me, I felt like the king, all from that one little confidence boost from a bad analogy from the TL thread. This is proof that Teamliquid helps you in real life situations. Living proof.
But of course, she didn't respond positively at first. At first, she laughed but then put on the brakes, saying, "Okay, I'll give you points for that but honestly, that sounded a bit too slick to have been made up on the spot."
I'm completely freestyling it now, making up stories to fit the situation, etc. I reply, "Well, you know, my nickname in high school was Slick Willy (it wasn't, I completely bullshitted that one). People started calling me that after they got tired of calling me Big Willy.
She starts getting interested, I can tell. It's like a switch went off in her brain that said, I see potential in this guy. "So, how did you get that nickname?" she asked.
Uh oh, I made that up, what the fuck do I do? I make more shit up! I say, "Well, there was this English teacher sophomore year, kind of a nut, but everyone liked him cuz he would give everyone their own unique nickname in class and only call them by that. For example, my friend Mike Morrisey was Motown, this chick, Erin Teich was E.T., and I was Slick Willy. And, I guess it just sorta caught on. You have any nicknames yourself, Olivia?"
"Oh, I remember you now, you're William. You don't participate much in class but I remember that one time you pointed out the teacher's mistake after going up to the board to solve a problem. Was that you?"
And the rest just went really smoothly, I was thoroughly impressed by what a little confidence boost from a bad goalie analogy could do to me. It was like I was a completely different person.
At the end, some douchebag library assistant walks up to us and tells us to quiet down, so that's when I said, "listen, it was great meeting you today, I'll see you in class tomorrow."
She responds with a grin, "I have to tell you something, William. I lied to you earlier about having a boyfriend because I didn't know if I could trust you, and honestly, I just didn't feel any sort of connection. But I change my mind."
I immediately whip my phone out of my pocket, put it on "add contact" and say, "tell you what Olivia, why don't you give me your number and I'll give you a call sometime?" after putting it into her hand. I really don't even know how I thought about a gesture like that. I guess confidence really does build up really quickly if you actually do something amazing.
Now, I have her number, I can call whenever I want, I'm a happy man.
It all goes to show that everything begins with "hi".
So, rushz0rz, if that doesn't fucking motivate you, I really don't know what will.
i asked out a girl today, just chatted after class and said hey lets hang out. she has a boyfriend, too bad. but i still feel pretty good for putting myself out there.
I wanted to say hi and ask a girl out today from my TV and Radio Journalism class IF THE SCHOOL WASN'T CLOSED, THE CLASS CANCELLED, AND A STUPID BIG FAT BLIZZARD BLOCKING MY PATH TO SUCCESS!
Good luck though. Keep us posted. Part of me wants you to succeed so I can live vicariously though you, but the other part wants you to fail cuz I'm jealous.
Dammit I was going to talk to/ask out a girl today as well haha, but she showed up late to class, had a cold, and left right as class ended. Just doesn't seem there was a good time nor a good situation to just walk up to her and flirt(i hope im not making excuses for myself) . Now I won't see her till next Wednesday cuz of President's Day argh. Yea seriously though, its always better to go for it, just need to remind yourself of that when you're in the situation. Congrats on doing it.

All in all, it's probably gonna bite you in the ass.
Probably not though.
This
And I don't understand how a girl can trust you if you essentially say LOL BOYFRIEND WE CAN STILL FUCK. But meh some people are into that kinda stuff, anyway, great motivational story nonetheless 5/5 for a good read and goodluck in the future if its real
This must be a true story. No one, except a girl, woudl say "I feel we have a connection" when someone reveals theyre a douch and doesnt care if she got a boyfriend or not... I hate girls. Not to be trusted. Ever.
well im not sure if this story is true or not but if so, its kind of funny the community of TL.net is talking about what they think girls would and wouldnt do where some of them have blatantly admitted there are "19 year old virgins" etc^^

Holy fuck that's awesome. I really wish I could watch the Ali video, but I'm in class with no headphones.
Someone I had kind of a fling with recently "broke up" with me (though we werent really dating to begin with, but things were pretty intense) and I don't know if this motivates me more to move on and go talk to some new girl, or to go and try and win her back hahaha.
I have always been confused why relationships are the biggest concern with people. If you break it down to what actually happened, you talked to someone in a library. Very few subjects as common as 'talking to someone in a library' would cause a person to write so much detailed information on it.
I guess I've just never had trouble with something like this and would just straight up talk to whoever the fuck I want.
I dunno, I find this more of an interesting insight into how something so small can be such a huge deal to different people. While I think this post is mostly fiction anyway, I'm def going to go check out the video he mentioned.
Wow, I'm such a faggot, I blew it today. She comes 15 min late to lunch and I, thinking I need to be rekrul since that's what everyone in the threads were suggesting, say, "wow, I hope you don't do that again, because I'm not the kind of guy that will tolerate such delays."
She didn't take it that well. I completely lost all my confidence and charm that I worked so hard to acquire yesterday. I started getting all nervous and talking about boring topics again, and even got caught in a web of lies when I tried making up shit to entertain her. In the midst of such chaos, I forgot to ask her for another date and she didn't seem interested either. I felt like such a failure afterwards that I didn't go to any of my afternoon classes.
Looks like I'm back to my nerdy antisocial self. My confidence is completely crushed. Please ban me, Chill, for giving everyone false hope.

you really though that is what she wanted to hear?... though with all the lies you said the first time your "relationship" was doomed to fail... bleh better soon than later...
I don`t get how people still fall for these blogs. People don't whimsically create accounts to type 1000+ word essays for emotional support, a ludicrous brag, or to disprove Christianity
Use another football analogy (i refuse point blank to call it soccer). Its not over till the final whistle. basically say sorry you are a bit of a numpty, and try to talk to her about some form of common subject whilst seeming genuinely interested in her. Never done that technique myself, but its bound to work as i came up with it.

I'll also lay 3:1 odds these two accounts will be banned within a month for tdot reasons, or will never post again

I'm as cynical as the rest of people, but every once in awhile it's nice to think something nice happened.
