Good Guy

Dear Good Guy,

I agree with you that you should ask the girl out. Every time you make a move in the direction of showing someone that you like them, you risk rejection. So what? What's the alternative? To spend your life shuttered in a "safe" place where you'll never be rejected? There's a line from a song I know that goes: "Those who don't try never look foolish." If it's your goal never to look foolish then you can set up your life that way and never take a risk. I personally I wouldn't recommend that route.

So ask her out, but not for Valentine's Day. Valentine's Day is a day for sweethearts. It doesn't feel right to be asking someone out for the first time on that day.

Good luck!
