Search Results: ways to cheer him up

So, the end of my college career is fast approaching, and quite honestly, I enjoyed it. But there's one thing I never did that I regret: go on a date.

A shy little boy at heart, I've had plenty of crushes, many of which were nice girls that I was friendly with, but I never got the courage to ask any of them out (that or they had boyfriends already), and as such, much of college hath been a lonely road. But that's okay: education came first.

But now that it's almost over and I'm cruising towards graduation, I'd like to ask at least one girl out. Like a last challenge to myself before I graduate. I know, it's silly, but bear with me.

I have a girl in mind. She's cute, she's single, she's interesting; we're friendly, but we don't really know anything about each other minus small details that may have come up in conversation. I'd like to ask her out, but like a turtle without a shell I'm unsure how to approach the dilemma I've suddenly been thrust into; do I get to know her better first, or do I ask her out and use the date as a way to get to know her?

It's likely nothing will come of said date, but that's besides the point; the date itself is the goal. So any advice will be stored in my memory banks for recollection and appropriate thanks and/or fuck yous later. Cheers regardless, fellow gaggers!
