First Post
I just spent nearly an hour composing a huge manifesto on this, but let me just say a few things.
Be a nice guy. Be a clean guy. Brush your teeth, for pity's sake and wear freshly laundered clothes. Being a very sincere and nice guy goes a along way, as does that first impression she gets when she sees you.
Don't be a jerk. If she turns you down, smile and say "Thanks. Have a great day". And be sincere when you say it. If you do get a date, don't be a jerk then, either. On the date, don't criticize her interests or menu choices. She's an individual, and she's entitled to her own opinions. Make the date a casual one, such as coffee or lunch between classes.
And if you have female friends, talk to them. Find out what creeps them out. Find out how they like to be approached the first time. The BEST advice I've ever gotten for asking girls out came from other girls.
Queen_Dopplepopolis and Mythago have some great tips here, and those same tips worked for me when I was single. And if I were single today, I'd sure as heck not be using Maxim magazine for advice, either. Trends and fashions advocated in the media are transitory; who you really are is forever.
Good luck!
