My roommates and I went to the Provo temple during finals week. As we were waiting in the chapel, we all saw a girl who looked very attractive, and who also looked very our age. Usually situations like this are a total waste of time because there's no way to talk to the girl.
But as we walked past her I kind of unintentionally looked at her name tag, which had her full name printed on it. The second saw it I knew what my strategy would be - Facebook message.
The whole session I was trying to figure out if she was attractive or not, and finally decided that she was the majority of the times I looked at her. So I went home, fired up the dream machine, and here's what happened:
Me:
Hi! My roommates and I just got back from the Provo temple, where I saw the cutest girl.
I saw your name tag as we walked past you at one point and thought I'd give this a shot.
While we were in the temple I was trying to think of a good way - or any way - to approach you, but nothing seemed all that appropriate... thank you, Facebook!
There's a nice little formula I used to make this decision that goes like this: Cute + Temple worker - Wedding ring = Wow. Ask her out.
So I'd love to take you out sometime! I know it's a crazy time of year with finals, etc., but maybe we can go to study-break lunch next week.
How does that sound?

Her:
Hey El Conquistador!
Were you in that group of smiling young men in my session? I thought you were missionaries! haha!
Well I have a little formula of my own:
temple attender+not currently a missionary+clever facebook message=let's go.
It's going to be a crazy week, that's for sure, but we'll see what we can do.
Let me know what you have in mind.

At the time I received this message, she had also accepted my friend request, so I browsed through her photos with my roommates and immediately second-guessed my decision to ask her out. She was... cute..., but she also looked... old. Like five years older than me old. MAJOR regret followed, and my motivation to ask her out seriously dwindled.
Me:
Brynn! Hey, this week has turned out to be crazier than I expected - would you mind if we did something after break???
I know its in like a month, but I don't think I'll be able to make anything happen this week.
Sorry about that!

Her:
I totally feel you on the that! I'm leaving tomorrow afternoon and I still have two finals. YIKES!
Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year elC! See you on the other side!

(Two months later. Yikes.)
Her:
hey you really are a stranger . how've you been? How's your semester going?
Me:
Why hello! I though I'd never hear from you again after Christmas break. Glad to be wrong!
My semester is pure insanity. There's a lot going on, but I really enjoy it.
How's yours going???
Her:
I know! I saw something of yours on my mini feed and thought I'd see how you were.
Hey insanity's good if it's an enjoyable insanity right? better busy than bored. I am currently fighting the disease of senior -itis. 2 more months!
Then I never contacted her again. I do feel bad about that, since I said I'd take her out, and part of me wants to go on a date with her just to fulfill my obligation... but the rest of me hasn't let that happen. And thus was born Facebook Fail #2.
