The invisible league....

So how many girls have ever been told that a guy liked them but wouldn't ask them out because the guy thought they were "out of their league"? Or how about how many of you guys have ever said she's way out your "league". Well I have a question. WHAT THE CRAP IS THIS LEAGUE?! Why do guys say this? I never understood it and heck I've even said this. I never knew why i did. I ask this from what a person I know (I cannot and will not call him a friend) said the other day. That his girlfriend was out of his league and that's why he had waited so long to ask her out (though he had three different girlfriends before which confused me). I then said no I do not (not anymore anyway) believe in leagues. If there is a girl you would like to date, regardless of who you are go ask her out. I can only think of the girls I liked that I never asked out because they were "out of my league". Personally now I see that any guy saying that is only afraid. Afraid of rejection and his own insecurities. He has already deemed himself unworthy of this girl and given up without trying. For all anyone knows she could have liked him and the chance slipped away. Ah yes leading to the wonder of unrequited love. You can blame fate or destiny whatever but really you're to blame. If a girl says no its no so you move on. Yes it sucks but when you get older you'll only say to yourself "Man if only I had asked her out what was I so afraid of?" I know it can see often harder than that but still we need to lose this concept of leagues since what is it really doing for us? Sure you may say she is so beautiful that she's out of your league but then what are you saying really? She's so beautiful she is unattainable? She is to be alone and only marveled at? Well guess what someone is going to come along and sweep her off her feet and what is left? An empty space where your once unattainable was. Funny thing is it wasn't some abercrombie and fitch guy or body builder but another guy an average Joe who had the gall and audacity to go and actually ask her, this goddess out. How dare he. He just did what you wouldn't. If he got rejected, he got rejected so what its not the end of the world. Why can't guys find another way of tellng women they are beautiful than saying they're out of their league? What is hard by saying and honestly meaning just looking her in the eyes and telling her how beautiful she is? Get rid of the leagues and everything and stick witht he truth. Grow a pair men and get out there and admit your feelings. If you get rejected sulk a little get up dust yourself off and decide where you want to go from there. Your choice guys.
