Hardly. You're the one who suggested that he try to get her number via false pretenses. I did quite the opposite...I advised him to be FRICKIN' HONEST.
You didn't say ANYTHING about when/where he should discuss how he feels. You said, very plainly, that he should get her number under false pretenses using the "guise of parties/get togethers."
Please note the definition of the word "guise."
Hiding his true intentions of why he wants her phone number? I find that personally distasteful for a number of reasons, all of them tying back to the idea that HONESTY results in more positive outcomes for both parties involved.
I can only speak of my own personal experiences, but I can say this: I've tried it both ways, and while I didn't always get the date, I sure as hell got a lot more respect from the lady of my affection when I went up to them and said "Hey. I want you to know that I really think you're a neat individual, and wondered if I could take you out sometime," rather than creating all sorts of dumb hoops with dubious honesty for her to jump through.
Your mileage may vary, but if you can't gut up and talk to a gal now, chances are you won't at the party, and the OTHER guys at the party who have the nuts to talk to her on the level will be the ones getting a second date.
I know you had me until you called me a neat individual.
BTW... Batman, is there an update for this story
Dude, she was totally neat. You should see her desk...nothing out of place.
I had you? *flutters eyelashes*
