The status reports and photos you post will NEVER EVER EVER make a boy think they are directed at him ever. You have to ask him out, because sitting around and waiting while you craft delicately worded status updates will not work on Dense Boys. : ) --TerryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30079493.post-18734958141627003542012-06-19T16:03:37.970-07:002012-06-19T16:03:37.970-07:00Be direct.

You said it yourself - you won't see him or talk to him unless you're direct.

(In elder days of wonder now lost to man, such a request made from one person to a second person, usually using a mutually understood system of precisely shaped acoustic signals, was called "asking someone out".
