So, um... I... have a question.

Um.

Ummmm.

Um, I guess... I can do training whenever you'd like to. Um. Does. Does tomorrow sound okay? Is there anything.... anything I'd. Need to bring?

Just come out and ask her.

[derped]

...but I'm afraid of looking dumb and her just laughing at me.

[coldempress]

The worst case scenario is that she says no and laughs at you, right? That's not that bad.

[derped]

[...it's a long time before he answers. Several minutes.]

Yes it is.

[coldempress]

If you're not willing to take the risk then you're better off not dating her at all.

[derped]

You're probably right... but. I don't know how to be brave enough to do it.

[coldempress]

You like her, right? A lot? Just think about that. As motivation.

But -- if she doesn't, it'd be weird and she'd probably like me less because...

[He's not able to like, actually think up of a coherent way to explain. IT IS WHAT IT IS, in his mind, like some sort of shitty football coach's motivational speech.]

[coldempress]

Look, if she's your friend, I don't think you asking her out would change her feelings.

Like I said, the worst that can happen is that she'll say no.

[derped]

...if-- if you're sure. I mean. I don't really know about these things.

[Why he's trusting strangers for relationship advice is anyone's guess -- who else would he ask?]

[coldempress]

I can tell. That's why you're asking, after all.

Trust me. Sometimes you need to take risks. I doubt her feelings will change if she turns you down in the end, anyway.
