Taking your friends' advice sometimes isn't the best idea when considering asking someone out on a date. Shea Steacker, senior, learned this the hard way.
Shea was back in his home state, Minnesota, and at his favorite restaurant, Ichiban, when he noticed the cute hostess named Bailey. With hesitation, Shea walked up to her to ask her out on a date, but froze and left the restaurant with his friends instead.
"My friends made fun of me for being a wimp." Shea says. "So we pulled back up to the restaurant and I hopped out."
Shea says he got back into the restaurant and asked her out on a date, and to his surprise, she gladly accepted the offer. The two met the next day at Starbucks, where the shock then settled in.

"It was just too much for a first date," Sheas says.
After the date, Bailey kept calling Shea despite the fact that he would never answer.
Shea says she assumed he enjoyed the political debate between them as much as he did. But in debates, a loser always emerges.
