While you may not be a badass US Marine with an invite to the Marine Corps Ball, like the guy who used an online video to procure a meet-up with Mila Kunis—she downgraded from actually accepting the ball invite when she realized she is filming two movies at the same time—you can still up your game and display some creativity when asking a girl out.
But here’s the thing. Since my company, The Art of Charm, doesn’t like to make a big deal out of “dates,” I had to do a bit of research on this one. I tried to assemble a short list of three supposedly “creative” ways to ask a girl out that won’t end up being something you’ll regret ’till the end of days. I failed in epic fashion, discovering only the absolute worst ideas one can dig up on the World of Warcraft message boards and beyond.
The examples below are all legit productions tried by real guys that would probably work great in a romantic comedy. Got a better plan that actually succeeded? Please share with the group in the comments section.
1. Put up posters of the girl you like all over campus
The Move: Mistakenly thinking that student government was actually cool, our first poor bastard recruited his friends to hang over a hundred posters of the girl he fancied.
The Fallout: Upon her arrival to campus that morning, she was horrified to see practically the entire student body laughing at both her and her admirer. Leaving school early (and, no doubt, debating whether to transfer altogether), she not only didn’t accept his invitation, but most likely still has him blocked on Facebook so he can’t show up at her work.












Geez, that’s uneblievlbae. Kudos and such.
