Jake asks:
Hey Randy, I've got a question for you. This girl I like always says I'm really nice and would make a great boyfriend, but whenever I ask her out she says no, that she doesn't want to ruin our friendship. How do I get her to say yes? - Jake
Been there my friend. Been there, heard that. Don't believe it any more now than I did back then. It's just a lame-ass way of saying you aren't cute or rich enough to date her. But, fortunately for you, I think I have a way to get her to see you in a different light.
You see, most girls just want to feel special or appreciated. So many guys treat their girlfriends disrespectfully (especially at a young age) or don't make them feel special, that it's entirely possible for regular guys like us to look like heroes to them just by treating them with respect or giving them simple compliments here and there. When girls don't feel pretty or wanted, giving them a little boost by telling them they look good can go a long way towards getting them to see you as a potentially datable person.
So here's what you do. One day, pay like fifty guys to all go up to her at different points during the day and tell her they think she's ugly and they'd never go out with her. Then, at the end of the day, when she's feeling really ugly and vulnerable, go up to her and tell you think she looks pretty. Then after she throws her arms around you, ask her out. She's as good as yours. You're welcome.
