It's not that hard, once you get used to it.

It would most probably increase bra sales, since so much of them would 
just break down.

Several girls remarked in the forums that this would somewhat prevent 
them going out with stupid boys, which was generally agreed to be a very 
positive thing...

It should go without saying that a girl who reads XKCD would only date 
stupid boys in order to manipulate them.

Of course, this is also the reason women date intelligent men, so it's 
not saying much.

I'd ask if there's a HOWTO somewhere, but I imagine it wouldn't actually 
help much...

Dude, just stop feeling sorry for yourself and ask girls out!

Sure, you'll be rejected 9 times out of 10, but so is every other guy 
out there!  Just don't let it bother you!

Look at it this way:
There are 6 *billion* people on this planet.  Just to pull a number out 
of my a**, that means 500 *million* people between the ages of 20 and 30.

I guarantee, the *majority* of those people _want_to_have_sex_.  They 
don't want to all the time, and it's not the only thing they want, but 
they *do* want to.  It's in their genes!  (Otherwise we would have gone 
extinct long ago).

Now, if you can accept that people out there *do* want to hook up, the 
next part is easy: just keep trying!  What works with one person won't 
work with the next, so any kind of advice from other people is pretty 
much useless except for "don't give up".  Talk to girls any chance you 
get, and ask them out whenever you can!

You know those two girls you saw walking past your office?  Don't wait 
for them to walk past again.  Just go find one of them, and say, "Hey, 
have you seen the new Batman yet?"

If they say "no", then respond "I was going to go see it this weekend, 
but I hate seeing movies alone.  Will you go with me?"

If they say "yes", then say "Cool, I haven't yet!  I was going to go see 
it this weekend, but I hate seeing movies alone.  Will you go with me?"

Even if you've already seen it*, it's not hard to find something 
appropriate to say instead.

Sorry, I'm just rambling.  But you get the idea - don't wait, just date!

*We saw it a second time two days ago.  Very enjoyable.  In fact, it put 
me in a mood to watch the 1989 version (Tim Burton directing, Michael 
Keaton starring), and I have to ask: was the 1989 version so cheesy when 
it came out, or did they re-cut it to make the new one look better?  I 
remember liking it more at the time - of course, I *was* 10 :)

Yeah - cos that thought has never occurred to me before. :-P

I don't *know* any girls, and I have no idea where to meet them. We've 
been through all this several times already.

> Sorry, I'm just rambling.  But you get the idea - don't wait, just date!

Sure. Because when you're not Andrew, it's really that easy. :-/

  Heh, just move the hooks 'towards' the eyes, and everything is fine.  ;)

    Those hooks are designed to be released! :)

     Are you listening Andrew? GRAB - TOWARDS - RELEASE - HEAVEN.

       In that order.  :)
