<human>: I had a really huge crush on this girl. I really liked her, and was going to ask her for her number. Don't be fooled by the title - I'm not a melodramatic, soft, New-Ager. I was going to do it the old-but-good way and do it in person. It took a while to gain the courage, but I finally approached her. When I was about to do the deed, though, another guy comes up and grabs her hand. I watched as they laughed and held hands and chatted. It was like getting punched in the gut, Reddit. It sucked. Bad.

<bot>: So... what do I do when a girl I really like already has a boyfriend? Wait it out? I was caught so off-guard.
