I have a large crush, what do I do?

Hello,
I have a very big crush on this girl. I'm a shy and quiet boy who just
listens not talk when around people. I think about her all the time and I
even dream about her almost every night. And she even breaks through my
concentration when I'm doing maths (my concentration is very good,
especially for maths). I've had this crush on her for a few months now, and
the love has gone much greater than before. What I have been thinking to do
is that I will try to get close to her without her noticing too much and
helping her with programming when I walk around the class (I am doing
computer studies, and she is in the same class). I'm thinking of slowly
getting closer to her is better than just telling her. And now I think a
friendship MAY be forming, not fully sure though. I have no sexual desire
when I think of her, just love. I have alot of patience but I just hope that
she is interested in me. I am prepared to wait half a year if I could have
her. So what do I do? Use the same technique I am using now or something
else? Please help me with this.
P.s. Please do not mention my name if you this email public.

The practice of wooing women is often considered the last of the gentlemen's arts. Though that does not mean it is easy; the road is wrought with many perils such as heartbreak and gonorrhea.
Many ancient tribes won women in the manner that most animals do today. You must prove your worth to the female by dressing up in the most magnificent plummage. You must be willing to stand taller and act tougher in order to catch her eye. And should the occasional scrap break out, you need to pummel your opponent for fear of the female thinking you unworthy. Of course, don't take me literally. What you should do is make sure you are dressed nice relative to the others in your class. Seeing as how you are in computer classes, that should not be too hard. Get rid of the star trek t-shirts and get yourself some deodorant. That should put you miles ahead. Plus winning a fight shouldn't be too hard. Go ahead and start one in front of her. Pick someone you can definitely beat. I'll leave the rest to the others. Good luck, anonymous. |

Hey anonymous, thanks for the question. So, let me get this straight - despite your huge crush (which you've kept a secret so far) and a friendship that *may* be forming, she still hasn't thrown herself at your feet? Sounds like she's a tough nut to crack. I think it's time to bring out the heavy artillery. All women are the same - they like their guys to be dangerous. I suggest adopting a whole new bad-ass identity and she'll be putty in your hands. Start with quitting your class, because there's nothing dangerous about programming (unless of course you choose to not properly comment your code, but that's just foolish) and get yourself a leather jacket and a motorcycle. If this doesn't make your intentions clear, I don't know what will...well, maybe just walking up to her and asking her on a date could work but I wouldn't recommend something as un-dangerous as that. |

Anonymous,
My suggestion is this. Rent the movie, Say Anything, with John Cusack, and learn from the lessons of Lloyd. He was the master of getting the girl's heart...and if it requires you to adopt raincoats as a fashion staple, and boomboxes held over your head as an actual technique employed for gaining the adoration of women...then do it. I'm serious...rent the movie, and you'll know what I'm talking about. |
