My two big crushes through my college years hardly ever dated because they were out of everybody's league. If I knew then what they meant when they complained about being alone on a Saturday night, well then, college would have been much cooler with lower grades.
Unless your friend is a total spazz and this woman is a model, then there's no talk of leagues. I had an engaged woman talking me up right until she got married my senior year. This is the way things go. There's a time and place for everything. Right now, and right here.
