  • Most girls I am friends (and me) with would either give you a chance, or say 'I'm sorry'. You would never get ridiculed, unless you were being an asshole about it (But I know you wouldn't do that ;) )
    Getting asked out is actually very flattering.
    If you want to avoid 'the look' all together, just don't ask out the snobby looking ones. There are pretty girls out there that arn't snobby.

    • thx, @purpleflower. Good to know.

      How would this work as an opener - "Hi.I know it can be awkward meeting new people, so why don't you go ahead and introduce yourself to me"

      • Try not to mention anything about things being awkward, if you do they will most likely become awkward, at least subconsciously. Don't make your very first questions too open-ended, she will feel like she is being tested. Instead, introduce yourself first, then ask her name. Have a few questions lined up to get the ball rolling (ex. what classes are you taking? are you enjoying that class?). The most important things to remember are eye-contact, smile, and be confident in what you are doing.
