always be yourself, unless you can be Batman, always be Batman.

Alright...to clear the air a bit and not try to be some vague mysterious idiot...there's a girl. She's awesome and really attractive and plays trumpet, and I would love to date her. Problem is, she goes to another school and is a grade above me. This means I don't see her often (I've actually been incredibly lucky this month to see her three times in three weeks). Referencing my previous comment, I wouldn't ask her out until I was reasonably sure she'd say yes. I'm...

Ask her out = problem solved. You don't know her? So you have nothing to lose if she rejects you. If that happens, you'll only get a better self-esteem because now you've proven yourself that YOU CAN ASK GIRLS OUT. -- and if she actually does want to go on a date with you, you win again, so it's a WIN WIN situation. Don't think too much. Girls dislike men who are uncertain about themselves.
