yeah, it should kinda feel like a formality at the end of an already long and successful process. this also goes for friendships, whenever you feel like you're "going out on a limb" with someone it probably won't end well, just my experience in this soyciety.
then again, if anyone is in the position to try something, they should probably just try. i'm not, there's no girls' numbers in my phone so i can't do anything, but some guys here have numbers from school and don't do anything about it.
they don't know that later it gets even worse and that you won't even be able to bother some random schoolgirl for a date, there will literally be nothing happening in your life besides work and hobbies.
