Things I learned a little too late:
There was a girl in high school who I thought was really cute. I really wanted to ask her out but felt she was out of my league. I went straight to "The Friend Zone" with her and we became friends. One day we were talking and I told her I had always wanted to ask her out but was afraid of rejection. She was in a relationship at the time. She told me that pretty girls are like any other girl. She said she spent most weekend nights at home because no one asked her out. She only could guess from my comments that other guys were afraid of rejection too. She told me that in the future to keep in mind being rejected on a date request is not the end of the world. Have the confidence to at least ask. I took that to college with me and dated a lot of pretty girls.
