She's way out of my league. Should I even bother?

Here's the situation:

I was hanging out with my best friend, talking about girls, relationships, etc. All of a sudden, he thought of a girl he said "would be perfect" for me, a girl he had met in one of his classes last semester. He pulled her up on Facebook and there before me was the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. After looking over her profile and asking my friend everything he knew about her, I've decided that he's right: we have a lot in common and would probably get along great. Here's the problem: I'm not exactly what you would call good looking. I'm not ugly, and I have had women be physically attracted to me before, but I'm no prize. I'm kinda short (5ft 11in, which is short compared to all of my 6ft 2in friends) and on the chubbier side of things. I've been told I'm a "nice guy" and pride myself on my sense of humor.

My question then, is this: should I even bother pursuing this girl? She is, in my humble opinion, a perfect 10, something I'm not even close to. I know people (especially attractive girls) always say that "looks don't matter that much" and that "personality is most important", but let's be honest with each other: looks matter. A lot. This is the type of girl that, if I saw her at a club or party, I would probably watch her all night but never in a million years talk to her. I'm a realist: I'm sure she's had guys a thousand times more attractive than me ask her out, so a short, stocky, awkward guy wouldn't stand any kind of chance, right?

How do you know this for sure though? It seems to me that you are stereotyping her without getting to know her. Not all girls who are attractive are superficial snobs; again since you haven't met her you can't say with authority that she won't like you. Get to know her and you may be surprised.

No not necessarily. Perhaps guys don't approach her because they feel just like you-- she can get any guy, she won't like me-sort of mentality. You never know. You saw her profile, but did you really look at it? Like her hobbies and interests and what sort of a person she is? You never know. My best friend went to school with this gorgeous girl, in fact she's a body double for rachel mcadams(from mean girls) in an upcoming film. But my friend knows something that strangers wouldn't know about her-- she's a very good girl, no smoking, drinking, partying AT ALL, very family-oriented and extremely intelligent. Not all the gorgeous girls are sluts and whores. Some just end up being a beautiful human being on the outside because their mind and heart are the most beautiful you can ever find :) Good luck! And this advice applies to all girls, not just this particular one btw!

Get to know her. You shouldn't be deciding if you are going to pursue a relationship with her before meeting anyhow. If you take the time to get to know her, you will have a better idea of what sort of guy she might be interested in, whether you stand a chance, and whether you are still interested. It definitely won't hurt anything. Also, if she doesn't happen to be particularly physically attracted to you, her knowing your personality and sense of humor will help you.
I really think it is worth a try. Just because she's a 10 to you doesn't mean she's a 10 to everyone, and even if most guys think she's hot, those who regularly approach her are probably the cocky assholes who think they are also 10s. She's probably bored and annoyed by them.
Just get to know her. That much never hurts.

If you never pursue her, you'll never know. You'll never win if you don't even try to play the game. Basically, talk to her! If you're not comfortable with laying the moves on her, it's cool just start out with ''hey gorgeous! Your music taste is crazy awesome. Have you ever seen __ live? '' so that you're saying you're complimenting her & her likes.

Girls love a guy with a sense of humor, jack black for example, LOVE. I don't care that he's not ''hot'' by the books' definition, I love him because he's selfless and funny.

After talking back and forth a bit, if you guys are hitting it off and the convo's good get her number or something, if you talk on internet for too long it'll be awkward in person/phone ;)

So in short, (oh and by the way, you are not short! I've dated guys who were 5'7 and loved them), GO FOR IT! Even if you guys never become something, you'll have a hot friend who could possibly hook you up with one of HER hot friends ;D

You know the saying, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder"? Well, in your case, you never know if she'll think you're attractive or not. Just get to know her and see what happens. If it was meant to be it was meant to be. If she just bases guys on looks than I think that's pretty shallow.


Personally, I went out with a guy that everyone thought wasn't good looking. However, I thought he was the most cutest guy ever! I mean there were even people telling me that I could do better. But I didn't listen to them because what I thought was for me, maybe isn't for the others. So, I stuck to what I felt was right.

I don't think 5'11" is short either. I admit that looks sort of matter, but only at first. Once you get to know someone and if you really like who they are, looks are something you get past easily.

At least get to know her. Just cos she's beautiful doesn't mean she's way out of your league.

Haha, okay first off, 5'11" is not short. You just have really tall friends. :)

But to answer, YES, you should approach her and talk to her. The thing about hot girls is that just about all the nice guys think, like you do, that she's out of your league, and spend the night at a party or club watching but not talking to her. Meanwhile, the jerks, who are unfortunately the most confident of guys around the ladies, are hitting on her left and right. If she wants to get stuck in a dead-end relationship with a jerk, she's got plenty of opportunity, but if she wants a nice guy, she's just outta luck. And if she's single (as her Facebook profile and your friend probably told you) then chances are she's passed up the jerks because she IS looking for a nice guy.

So go talk to her, because you are different than most guys who talk to her, and different in a good way. You're not short, stocky's not a bad thing, and heck, most people are awkward. :) Give it a shot, you've got a better chance than you give yourself credit for. Follow Epavlova's advice for HOW to approach her (I couldn't have said it better myself) and I think you'll have a great chance.

Yes, you should try. If you can approach her with confidence, and can make her feel at ease with you, and (ideally) can make her laugh a little in the first minute or two, you at least have a chance at spending a few minutes talking with her. And maybe those few minutes will then convince her that you are a nice guy, and worth a bit more of her time. Be yourself, and she will at least give you credit for trying (so long as you are not obnoxious about it). If she says "no", just smile and move on. But maybe she'll say "yes". Good luck!
