A risk is something everyone takes when they come to decision: shoes to buy, clothes to wear, what to do with their lives. But not everyone is a risk taker. Some people wait and wait forever, and lose their chance at taking a certain risk. Then they are doomed for the rest of their life for not taking that chance, and having the thought of “what if.” Well I am here to say I am the what-if-person when it comes to boys. I never take the chance of asking someone out, I always think, “They will ask me if they like me.” Boys and girls I am here to say that idea is not 100 percent factual. I missed the chance of going out with a massive amount of people due to my fear of rejection. So take my advice and ask the person you like out before it is too late and you are cursed forever. I am not saying it is going to be easy because as I am typing this shot column right now I am thinking of a guy that I am starting to like, and the only question I have asked him so far were, “Do you want to hang out”? I am going to try and overcome this fear and not let it beat me, if everyone promises they will do the same. P.S: If you are wondering if I am talking about you think to yourself have I ever asked you to hang out, but what we did were activities that people normally do on dates. If you can answer yes to this question then either I am talking about you right now, or you were one of the people that I let slip out of my hands. With Love, Nicholas Andrews
