Immediately, you feel like you’ve been shot in an elevator and you’ve left your stomach two floors below.

你突然有種自己彷彿在坐電梯時電梯直直暴衝上升，而你的胃還停留在兩層下方的感覺。

"Stay calm." You tell yourself.

「冷靜點。」你對自己這麼說。

"Get your heartbeat under control."

「控制一下你的心跳！」

Maybe ask him if he wants to see a movie.

也許可以去問他要不要看場電影。

That’s not too painful, is it?

這不會太難，對吧？

Alright, he’s almost approaching now.

好，他快走過來了。

Flash him in that cool confident unflustered smile you…

用冷靜的自信，一點也不緊張的微笑來迷死他吧...

Okay. You just walked smacked dab into a locker door.

好喔。你竟然直直撞上了置物櫃的門。

Ouch!

痛死了！

Hey, love birds! Welcome to Wellcast!

嘿，可愛的小鳥們，歡迎收看 Wellcast！

Do you wanna ask someone out, but you’re afraid of accidentally injuring yourself instead?

你是不是想要約某人出去，卻又怕會不小心傷到自己呢？

That’s okay. This week, we’re gonna talk about that stupid, awkward, awful, awesome feeling of liking someone.

沒關係，這禮拜我們要談的就是那種喜歡上某人的時候，隨之而來的愚蠢、笨拙、尷尬卻又超棒的感覺。

And we’re gonna make you do something about it.

然後我們要讓你能採取行動。

We’re gonna give you four tips for asking him/her out on a date.

我們要告訴你四個能讓你約到心上人的訣竅。

Are you ready?

準備好了嗎？

What have you got to lose?

你又沒有什麼好失去的，對吧？

The hardest part about approaching someone you like is the anticipation of it.

在接近心上人時，最令人痛苦的部分便是期待的心理。

So, let’s cut right to the chase.

所以，就勇往直前地追吧！

Step 1: The first thing you’re gonna do before anything else is set a deadline for yourself.

步驟一：你最先要做的事情就是要給自己定個期限。

That’s right! A deadline gives you a built-in time to approach him and start a conversation.

沒錯！總之要先定下自己接近他並和他搭話的期限。

Step 2: Have a specific plan in mind before you approach him.

步驟二：在接近他之前，先在心裡擬定好計畫。

Pick something you know he’s interested in.

選個他會有興趣的話題。

So, if he’s a fan of horror movies, ask him to a new blockbuster.

比如說，如果他是個恐怖片愛好者的話，就邀他去看最新的恐怖片。

If he’s a political wonk, ask him if he wants to watch the debates.

如果他喜歡談論政治，就問他要不要一起去看辯論會。

The more specific the plan, the better.

計畫越詳細越好。

Take out your Wellcast journal and open it to a brand new page.

拿出你的 Wellcast 日誌並翻開新的一頁。

Write on the date that you have to approach this person and what you will say to him when you do.

寫上你要去約他的日期，還有你準備跟他說些什麼。

I’d have to ask him by Friday if he wants to go to the new John Carpenter movie with me.

我得在禮拜五之前去找他，約他去看約翰‧卡本特的最新電影。

If you want, you can try to hold yourself to this by adding a penalty.

如果你想的話，還能定個懲罰來約束自己。

I have to ask him by Friday, or else I can’t go out this weekend.

我必須在禮拜五之前問他，不然這週末就不能出去玩。

Okay, you don’t wanna be too hard on yourself, of course, but any added incentive helps.

好吧，你當然不會想對自己太嚴苛，但多點刺激總是會有所幫助。

Step 3: Here’s the hard part!

步驟三：這是最困難的部分！

You’re going to have to bite the bullet and do it now!

你得咬緊牙關，實際去做！

Don’t do it over the phone or text or G chatter by carrier pigeon.

不准打電話、傳簡訊、用聊天軟體或者送信鴿。

Do it in person.

要親自去約他。

I don’t know if I can handle this kind of rejection.

我不知道要是被打槍的話我受不受的了。

Okay. What If they laugh at me? And then the whole school knows that I like him.

好吧。如果他們笑我呢？然後整個學校都會知道我喜歡他。

And I’m gonna have to move to Canada. I don’t even like syrup!

我就不得不搬去加拿大了！我根本就不喜歡楓糖漿！

Then check out our automatic thoughts video.

那就來看看我們關於自動化思考的影片吧。

Approach him as confidently as you possibly can.

在接近他時，竭盡所能地展現出你最自信的一面。

Pay attention to your own body language. Don’t slump or look embarrassed.

注意自己的身體語言，別彎腰駝背或一臉尷尬。

Smile! Keep eye contact the entire time.

微笑！保持四目相接。

Also, call him by his name.

還有，記得直接叫他的名字。

It’s a proven fact that a person’s favorite word is their own name.

科學研究證實，一個人最愛的單字便是自己的名字。

Also, keep in mind that a person’s reaction to being asked out, regardless of the response is almost always unabashed flattery.

然後把這點記在心上：不論最後是否有答應，當人被邀請出去約會時，他們的反應幾乎永遠都會是覺得受寵若驚。

Hey! Stick to the plan in your Wellcast journal.

嘿！確實執行你日誌上的計畫。

Take a deep breath and ask.

深呼吸，然後說出口。

Step 4: Granted, all of this depends on what he says.

步驟四：當然，這一切取決於他的回應而定。

So first of all, if he said yes, congratulations! Have fun on your date!

首先，如果他答應了的話，恭喜你！好好享受約會吧！

You should also open yourself up to the possibility of rejection.

但是你也應該要做好被打槍的心理準備。

It’s possible that he might say, "No."

他也有可能會拒絕你。

But take it gracefully, okay? And no answer isn’t even necessarily a rejection, it could just mean not right now.

但是請有風度地接受，好嗎？拒絕並不代表你完全沒機會，可能只是時候未到罷了。

And either way, be proud of the fact that you put yourself out there!

不論如何，對自己鼓起了勇氣感到驕傲吧！

You’re gonna find that the worst part is the multitude of thoughts running through your head, right up until you ask this person if they maybe wanna go out sometime?

你會發現整件事最糟的部分，其實是在直到你開口問他願不願意跟你出去之前，在腦中幻想各種情節的胡思亂想。

Let’s recap.

我們來複習一下吧。

You’ve decided to take the plunge and see if someone you like wants to hang out.

你決定了要鼓起勇氣，詢問你的心上人願不願意跟你一起出去玩。

First, you set yourself a deadline and decide where you wanna go.

首先，要給自己訂個期限，並決定要一起去哪裡。

Have a specific date in mind; one that’s tailored to his interests.

在心中訂個投其所好的詳細約會計畫。

When you do approach him, make sure you smile and make eye contact.

當你真的去問他時，保持微笑和眼神接觸。

Take a deep breath and just do it.

深呼吸，然後上吧！

Whatever he says, be calm and confident.

不管他怎麼回答，記得保持自信與冷靜。

So how did your first date go?

所以你的第一次約會如何呢？
