Another way of looking at things is "just ask". What's the worst that'll happen? They say no, you lost nothing, gained nothing. But there's a surprising # of yeses out there to be had.
Which reminds me, I once asked this beautiful woman out, not thinking she'd say yes, but she did. We had a good run.
