i feel like this guy actually asked his crush out and when it worked he was so hyped he gave a ted talk about it
😂😂😂😂
I can promise you that did not happen XD
@@axle_le so what did?
@@axle_le I don't know but I feel it worked, but you want to make us feel better.

Me:
You Tube: you look like you are single, here are some tips.
This is no tip, is a ideal thats not useful. There’s better ways to interact with ur crush. And better ways to get better as a person
Enzo Cerrudo Like how? You sound like you’re experienced af 😂
@@UknownAfrican I would say that instead of asking if she wants to go, you should say "let's go to..." . Less posibility of rejection.
HWHEHE
😂
It's called a "crush" because they crush your hopes and dreams

Im watching this not even having a crash
Thank you so much. This really gave me the confidence to ask my crush out and she said yes. Everyone listen to this guy, even if your crush says no I promise you will be proud of yourself afterwards.
happy for you bro :)
I’m going for it tomorrow in class 🫡 We’ll see if she says yes. 😭
@@Balletlover777 Initially she said yes and gave me her number, but then she took like four days to respond and said she was super busy. I took the hint haha. Still glad I tried though, it helped me push pass my comfort zone and now I know without doubt.
Three experiences to share:
1. The Monday after homecoming my freshman year of high school I asked the guy I went with about the possibility of us dating and he said he didn't think it was a good idea. (Knowing him better now than I did then, I know he sometimes freaks out and says the opposite of how he feels which is what happened that day.) About a month and a half later he asked me out and we dated for about 8 months.
2. I had a crush on my best friend during my sophomore/junior year of college. I was 99.999 etc. percent sure he didn't feel the same way, but I needed to hear him say it. I didn't ask him out, but I did talk to him about it. I was right, he didn't like me that way. But it was the first of many difficult and awkward conversations we've had that have made our friendship stronger.
3. My college boyfriend and I started dating because I asked him out. I remember debating with my self about whether or not to ask him. Ultimately, I realized there was absolutely nothing he could say that would be worse than the amount of anxiety I was feeling.
I have to say I don't regret anything about those experiences or anything that happened because of them. My regrets come from the times I didn't ask someone out or tell them I had feelings for them. "What if..." can be one of the most painful questions to ask yourself.
Thank you
that is really amazing! what ifs can be terrible >o
Great message
How r u so brave to ask guys out i mean I will never ever do that cuz
1. Guys are mean like seriously
2. I saw a tiktok that says guys hate when girls tryna flirt with them first
3. I've seen a lot of comments that say guys have possibility to say yes so that they can flex it to their friends and not bc they like u back and it will just gonna hurt my feelings
4. The girls around are just so mean, they will probably judge me bc of asking a guy out first and they will think that I'm just way too easy.
I really hope u understand what I'm saying
@@riniedarryllan1846 omigoodness, I always thought flirting with the guy first would make you memorable, lol.
--though this wasn't to me, I wanted to say try not to think that way about all guys as a whole. There are many jerks but also so many hidden gems and nice people. I've met one guy super nice and someone else a bit blunt and hurtful 🤷♀️ even though both turned me down
---With risks comes pain but in the end it gives you confidence and you won't overthink and regret never saying anything.
-Lastly forget those girls and forget their judgement, I think a girl being bold and confessing or asking someone out is crazy awesome. And you're not easy, your inspiring because it's what many people in general are afraid to do 💗
You know, I believe that this talk applies to way more than just asking out your crush.
Right? He really expanded the concept to life as a whole. Inspiring.
Definitely, but this example is relevant to most of the people.
rexrecks yes so true
True. It is the same thing in business for example, if you ask a potential investor to give you money, the answer may be yes, the answer may be no. But if you don't ask them, the answer is no.
rexrecks facts
Its not about rejection, its the guts
i have no guts
@@humbertodelac0494 same.
Mine is about rejection
Mine is the possibility of her saying no and it being really awkward since we work together 🙃
@@Milewski23 same bro
The hurt from rejection does not linger like the pain of regret...
I had 47 rejections my whole life but I'm still on it.
Ask cj for some advice
fuckin thats a lot.
still gotta give u props for mustering up the courage to ask, gotta a crush rn and might drop a big hint tomorrow and ask her out the next day, who knows she might even say yes
You've counted them all?
god, is this a sign?
Yes
I'm thinking about the same thing😂
It's up to you. You have to choose to get over with the rejection or spend the rest of your life regretting about it.
No
Yes
This guy is so convincing, that such a stubborn person like me is actually considering it
Do it! You got this! They’ll be lucky to have you :p
Dont fall for it. I did
Same
Same tho
Im gonna do it man, you should do too, no risk no fun👍
Still can't get over how good this TEDx Talk is. I didn't have a crush or anything to act on, but this inspired me to take risks in all aspects of my life and has had such a major impact on my life.
I recently asked out my best friend and crush. I was convinced she was not interested AT ALL. But my friends kept telling me to do it. I waited 4 years and finally told her I liked her through Instagram DMs. The next day at school I found out that she likes me too. So that evening I asked her out using DMs again. It was awkward at first and we couldn't talk to each other about this in person for a week, but now, after 2 weeks, I'm happier than I've ever been. For the first time in my life, I was truly happy.
No matter what u believe, just do it. We only have one life, and we should try to be as happy as possible in it. Take risks. Bonus points if you make others happy too.
Hope I reached you. Have a nice day.🙂
"They might not like you back"
Knowing me, they DEFINITELY don't.
It be like this sometimes
Same, man, are you sure you don't need depression treatment though?
Feels bad man
I don't know you, but if you don't like yourself, how can you expect someone else to?
@@Psychy My point exactly lmao
What if ur crush is a 40 yr old woman with husband and kids
Asking 4 a friend
Fullest send brother, best of luck
Interesting. Risk it, why not?
wait for the inevitable divorce when her husband starts banging his secretary and being absent at home... it would probably happen sooner than later given that she's in her 40s
@@rrd On the contrary, when he/she asks her out, she's given a chance to have a new family. Isn't it cool?
best to stay away
Regret hurts more than rejection!
So confess your feelings for your crush.
I confessed, and let me tell you, if you wanna tell someone about something, BE STRAIGHT FORWARD. you don't want the person to think what you actually want to say. That's all, it'll relieve much stress at the end of the day

BROOO I REALLY WANT TO HUG THIS DUDE BECAUSE I DID IT! I FCKING ASKED MY CRUSH IF HE WANTED TO START DATING WITH ME THANKS TO THIS MAN THAT GAVE ME THE CONFIDENCE THAT I CAN DO IT!
*Advice*
Go talk to them without making excuses or finding a topic to say because we're not in a movie. I asked him in a really cringy way and I could tell he was embarassed but the thing is that it's better telling the truth than thinking of plans and stuff.
Update: he said no but that's ok because I honestly don't feel bad because I did something I wanted so bad for so many months. If he feels cringy after that every time he sees me I don't care and that's not my business because I feel confident and since i did something I was scared of, I'm gonna feel proud of me.
You faced fear of rejection, and dare to experience, thus daring to live. Admiration & respect.
i will always be thankful for this video. Yes, i just got rejected but i’m proud to say, i’ve faced my fears and i told my crush i liked him. Obviously he said no, but i’m so proud of myself bc i did something i was terrified of and now i’m ready to focus on myself and my life again. Thank you very much 🙏🏻
This is where boys get seperated from the men

Asked my friend (who I've known since we were kids) last weekend and found out that she was already seeing someone else. My advice to everyone: DON'T WAIT. Don't wait for the perfect conditions; assume they won't come. Being honest with someone won't mess up a friendship. The feeling of wondering "what if" later on will hurt more than anything else
If I do ask out my crush and she says yes tf am I supposed to do?
Me: tries to talk to my crush

@@loganstaub8690 tell me the result
@@loganstaub8690 how did it go?
How did you know how I feel
I asked my boyfriend out a few weeks ago and I felt the same way. I couldn't believe that I asked him out. I was so proud of myself for doing something so brave.
Wow
Ok, the way he opened up the talk gave me chills. Props to him. I'm surprised at myself for actually doing this two months ago, now she and I are dancing around each other (she said she's not ready). Watching this makes me so proud of myself. I felt the exact fear is described so accurately. I'm so glad my crush was lovely and respectful about it.
'It's okay,' she was saying, 'calm down', because I was shaking and laughing unattractively nervously.
Thanks for putting that out there, my man, and everyone reading this comment, go on then. Be courageous. It'll be worth it: you'll either learn or get where you want to be.
You know, there's some truth to this. I had a bad experience in high school where I had a crush on a guy for a while and he found out himself. After that, I resolved to never again let another crush find out from others and to just tell then myself.
I muddled through college with this ideology, taking it to a whole other extent, telling every single guy I thought was attractive so on their faces, making countless problems for myself what not. 😂
But you wanna know how it ended?
It ended with me exiting college victorious with my degree, plus with my batch mates holding a viewpoint that I was fearless and go-getter, never afraid to speak up when I had to. Cause this whole asking ppl out out loud? It ended up translating to all the different aspects of my life too.
I became louder and bolder in the classroom, in public space, never reluctant to call out bs when I saw it.
And that equipped me better for adulthood than I think anything else possibly could've. Honestly, I only realised this as I wrote it. 😂
So go ahead lads and lasses. Ask out your crushes and stare your fears down. I'm living proof that it's worth it.
This is honestly the best comment in this entire section!!
dang.. that explains a lot! you're my inspiration🙈
I feel like if I did this I would get placed on a watch list. But you’re comment was so inspiring, I kinda want to try anyway!
I'm going to do that because we work at the same place and I really like her I was going to ask her if she wanted to I literally was but got interrupted by co workers
This was a good lesson and so true about life. Everything is related. Overcoming one fear ultimately leads to overcoming a multitude of fears we wouldn't have even thought were related to that "one".
I asked and she said yes, never thought I would go this far
Wow man congratulations
I salute you
Lies
W
What a god
Me: Wanna go out sometime?
Her: Yeah, when and where?
Me: ... (I never thought it through this far)
I’ve always thought about this line of logic but having someone solidify it and make it sound legitimate really helped. This was really nice to watch and really helpful.
Me : **watches too much UA-cam**
UA-cam : _bro be single af_
**Sends me this**
I love how he expanded the simplicity of asking someone out to the broad concept of conquering fear altogether, excellent talk.
Well that’s the only way it would be allowed to be a ted talk
Yeah, but its all wrong
A while back I had to give a speech during my English class and I decided to do my speech on confidence just like what Alex did here. I decided to end my speech with "We only have one shot at life, so why not make the most of it?" and I asked my crush out right then and there. She said yes :)
Lemme borrow your balls bro 💀
I watched this a few months ago and always come back to this so i did what i was scared of. I told my crush my feelings for him two days ago! He didn't give me a definite answer but he said he was so proud of me. We're a lot closer now which is great. Until now, i still can't believe i did it. But doing so made me happier about myself. So thank you so much for this!

Inspiring speech man, I didn't realize that there was more to asking someone out than just rejection or a relationship, this changes the way I view all of my previous rejections and any that may happen in the future. This speech truly changed my life, and for that I am grateful.
Very inspiring for any situation in life really. I've always struggled with fear, but recently I've been making an effort to put myself out there and conquer my anxieties. Just the other day I held a presentation in front of my whole school; it wasn't perfect, but I never would've thought about doing something like that just a couple years ago! And heck, I might as well ask my crush out. I like how you put it: "you weren't with them before, you aren't now, nothing changed". Breaking down your fears rationally really helps conquer them.
Also, another advantage that comes from asking your crush out is that you will make them feel more confident about themselves, unless you're creepy about it. At least that's what happened to me when my friend told me he liked me. And we only became closer friends after that, because he didn't act weird about the whole thing for long.
Well, those are my thoughts. Thanks for the talk! :)
Ayo, why does that guy look so cute though, what's that about?

Education, I don't either
Same. Haven't had a crush for years now.
Just asked my best friend out and she said yes to a date but it was hella awkward. Even if it doesnt work im so glad i got it off my chest. JUST DO IT MY FELLOW KINGS
he's so right. if you're really passionate about something or someone, you'd be willing to dive in regardless of the punches you might take. learning how to handle the rejection and failure won't take anything away from you because you can only become stronger. so just do it. see how it turns out, and if you fail, it's not the end of the world. if you win, great job.
“Do things you’re scared of” Welp I AM scared of my crush but I’m working on it
@Mon nom I can help man. Just tell me where you live?
What's the point of anyone you can't relax around?
Courage?? Good thing I’m not a griffindor
Well, ppl want persons that are self confident, its probable that if the other person feels doubt in u, will reject u.
This is an important lesson that I learned earlier this year at 26. Anytime you get that uncomfortable, nervous feeling...Act upon that. When all the cells in your body are shaking and giving you a million reasons to NOT do that thing but you know you want to. If you do that enough times, your life will change in ways you never expect. It's strange, anytime I've ever done something uncomfortable, the universe has a way of rewarding you in unexpected ways. If you act upon that feeling, you elevate yourself from the crowd because you are willing to do things most people are afraid of doing. Taking risks, taking that chance. Literally the best decisions in my life have been the ones that I was most scared of doing. It only takes a few seconds of awkwardness but I'll take that over regret. Expand your comfort zone. Confront your fears directly. Scared of the dark? Scared of asking out that cute boy or girl? Afraid of walking into a gym? Learning how to drive? Whatever kind of fear you have. Start small and scale it up.
That was actually really good. He makes a great speaker, it sounds like he took his own advice and did this speech.
This video has changed my life forever. Thank you so much, Alex!
I thought he was going to say She said yes, and she's my girlfriend sitting over there. But the No answer was more realistic. Great talk though
Paul Huynh the whole point of his talk was that rejection makes you stronger and just do the things you’re afraid of. His message wasn’t “You can’t get things unless you try”. That’s why I knew he was gonna say she said no
Spoiler alert?
the no answer makes his message even more clear and influential though
Jack D blame Paul for not understanding the point of the video
This is a dangerous game, but can lead to so many possibilities. The pros outweigh the cons, but its just so nerve wracking. GL yall 👌
