Dear Breakup Girl,

Someone told me that out of a pool of say, 20 girls he's interested in, a guy will only ask out one. Is this true, and if so, why is it that out of all the men I have met, I'm never the one, nor do I get any indication that I'm even in the pool of 20?

--Katerina

Dear Katerina,

Oh, you're in the pool. Let's say the Pool Rule is true: what it would really mean is that those 20 girls are ... the girls he knows. And everyone, male or female, has at least thought "What if ... " about basically everyone they know. In this regard, actually asking out only one is better than playing Twenty Questions, if you know what I mean. Now, as far as being the one? Hard to say. Meantime, how about being the one ... who asks?

Love,
Breakup Girl
