Well played Strain. A valiant tale. Your courage should rub off on the rest of us!

Well, if you're going to be rejected, that's the best way for it to happen.

All of the other options suck. Getting rejected because she doesn't find you attractive, or doesn't like you, or whatever, all of those are insulting on one level or another..

But simply not being single? Still disappointing, but any proposal that lets you walk away with pride undamaged is a decent enough outcome.

*stands up and claps* You, my internet buddy, are one of the gutsiest people I have ever had the chance to stumble across. Well done for what would have taken a stupendous amount of courage!

Completely serious, you did what 99.8% of us wish we could do, but never do. Including myself. I wish I had HALF the guts you do.

So my figurative hat off to you, oh bravest of the brave. Thanks for giving us hope!

I've read only the OP and I just wanted to say your story made me smile. Thanks. :)

Great courage! I never had the chance. Well I did like this one professor, but she freaking hated my guts.

Congratulations good sir. May we all learn from your example of courage.

Congratulations on your failure-that-felt-like-a-success. I have to admit it was quite an amusing read.

Now do it to a male professor.

You go man! Good for you! I'm glad you went for it. You swung and missed, but at least you took that swing. I can actually totally relate to how you feel because I once asked out a nurse at the hospital I work at, and turns out she was already married (yeah yeah, I shoulda noticed the ring). But afterward I felt... good, relieved, and strangely satisfied and didn't have any regrets.

We're all proud, bro. So nice to read a post where someone doesn't just whine about things, but goes out and does them.

Man, I feel inspired now.

That was a nice read. =)

HAH! This is only the second time I laughed at this anti-spam thing...

SOLVEmedia: "done that"

Never has this thing been so perfectly-timed.

What a fun, but crazy week this has been for me. I did all this on top of final's week, but the support I got from this board has honestly inflated my ego quite a bit, so thanks everyone.

I'm really happy to hear how many people have told me this story inspired them or cheered them up. I wish everyone good luck in their own endeavors, and if this tale gave you the courage to do something like this for yourself, I'm proud of ya.

For now though, I'm gonna take a tip from my captcha and lemme just say

"let's eat."

I salute you for doing this, mate. Despite the results, you did quite a brave thing there. Absolutely brilliant, mind you!

Nicely done. A toast, to thee! A man, brave enough to follow an orifice other than his penis, who took a chance, and now knows the outcome of his bravery. Cheers to you, friend.

Hell man, that could have went a whole lot worse. Sucks that she's got someone, but hey, that just means you really are a sexy bastard, since it was almost a yes.
