	Wish me luck! ...For those of you who want some more details here about what you're wishing me luck for. I'm about to ask out a professor at my school. My final semester as a student here is about to end, and I can't let myself leave the school forever without taking this shot. Chances are she'll say No (and I'm not saying this as any sort of confidence issue just...I mean in the given scenario, it makes sense lol) But I'm gonna go for it. Carpe Diem and all the jazz! EDIT: Here's what happened, the story in its entirety Spoiler: Click to View

	Hey, wait until after the finals are over, so you're technically not apart of the class anymore!

Strain42	3 POSTED: 30 Apr 2012 22:59
	Technically I'm not one of her students. I know there are probably still rules there. I just need to ask her tomorrow because it's probably the last chance I'd get to actually see her. If I wait until the semester is completely over, I'll have no idea how to get in touch with her. I have to play my pieces carefully here, timing is everything...or...maybe just a fairly big part.

	I only read the title and I already support your decision.

	Bards will tell tales of your greatness.

	I knew this was the right place to make this announcement :D

	More power to you man. Even if she says no, it feels really good to just take a leap of faith sometimes.

	Good wishes with that crazy stunt. Jesus wishes you luck!

	Didn't you make a thread about this a few months ago, asking advice on the situation? Or was that someone else? shrug Either way, good luck. May happiness and fortune find you.

	Go for it dude, it's what humans do. You'll probably fail... But payoffs! Phenomenally unlikely payoffs!

	wintercoat: Didn't you make a thread about this a few months ago, asking advice on the situation? Or was that someone else? shrug Either way, good luck. May happiness and fortune find you. I did actually. I wasn't sure if anyone would remember that. ...well, I mean maybe someone else did too. But yeah, I certainly did. Now my waiting has paid off. The semester is coming to a close and I'm gonna roll the dice here.

Last thing you need is a lawsuit, right?

	I can tell you are confident from the fact you said she will say no with a capital N. Remember, risks are always worth it! Good luck!

Rawne1980	14 POSTED: 1 May 2012 00:16
	Tell her she must go for it.... We, here at the Escapist, must hear of sordid deeds.... Remember though, if she says no, alcohol makes everything better.

Fiz_The_Toaster	15 POSTED: 1 May 2012 00:21
	Go for it man! I thought I remembered a tale similar to this, and I was wondering what came of it, now I know! If she says no, there's always liquor to forget you even tried!

The cause of, and solution, to all of life's problems :D

	I'll be sure to let you all know how it went as soon as I can :D Thanks for all the positive support. If it goes well, I will celebrate with beer and Pokemon. It it doesn't...I'll get over it with beer and Pokemon. I can't lose!

Catfood220	18 POSTED: 1 May 2012 00:35
	Good luck. With the entire internet backing you, what could possibly go wrong?

Andy Shandy	19 POSTED: 1 May 2012 00:44
	I read the title and support the decision. As does House And Hitler So nothing can go wrong :D

	Dude totally be that badass who dated the teacher :P

requisitename	21 POSTED: 1 May 2012 01:18
	We're all rooting for you, man! Good luck. :-)

	How old is this teacher and why are you interested? : \

	geK0: How old is this teacher and why are you interested? : \ Admittedly a bit older than I am (doesn't really matter to me, though admittedly that might matter to her) and I'm interested because she is an intelligent, mature, beautiful woman who I'm attracted to. What more reason do I need? ^^ Alright, well I'm off to bed now, folks. The next time you see me here, I'll be sure to give a full report of what happened. Thanks for all the support. I'm feeling pretty darn good about this now (:

Risingblade	26 POSTED: 1 May 2012 03:05
	Do it, then post here with your failure so we can laugh at you. If you do manage to succeed then good job!

	Andy Shandy: I read the title and support the decision. As does House And Hitler So nothing can go wrong :D Your links have been shot...in the head...twice. Good luck. The worst that can happen is everyone laughs at you and mocks you!

Fijiman	28 POSTED: 1 May 2012 03:11
	If this teacher has been teaching there a while she probably gets at least half a dozen students ask her each year, but that doesn't mean that you can't still ask nor that you won't be successful. As they say nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Chalacachaca	29 POSTED: 1 May 2012 03:17
	Holy shit man, best of luck! Now if I could only track down that 9th grade teacher... oh Carol...

Superior Mind	30 POSTED: 1 May 2012 03:19
	You're a crazy bastard and you will most likely fail and embarrass yourself greatly. Therefore let my complete admiration soften the inevitable blow. Remember that on these things it is far better to regret an action an an inaction. I stand ready with a celebratory or commiserative alcoholic beverage.

lordcloud47	31 POSTED: 1 May 2012 03:21
	yeah, good luck. Whats the worst that could happen? Shell say no, and then life moves on. Take the shot while ya got it.

godofslack	32 POSTED: 1 May 2012 03:26
	I feel good about this so does Captcha "whole nine yards". Best of luck (also my last Captcha was seize the day, so I chuckled a bit when you said Carpe Diem)

Ed130	33 POSTED: 1 May 2012 03:31
	Good luck man, you're going to need it.

The worst that can happen is everyone laughs at you and mocks you! Hmmm...the image urls are both static ones so I suppose that means only I can see them. I shall see if I can find better links for them then =P EDIT: Better?

MorsePacific	35 POSTED: 1 May 2012 03:36
	I feel like this is stupid and pointless with little chance of success. I also don't see what the big deal is. It's just asking another girl out.
