Let’s say it’s a seminar style class. These kinds of classes put you a little closer to the On-The-Floor awkwardness, but it has the benefit of only lasting a semester.
1. At first, you want to argue with your girl of choice. In class discussions always argue the opposite of her point. I mean, don’t be a super dick about it. Don’t try and fish a conflict out of your ass because then you just seem like a fool.
2. About two weeks into the course, after you’ve already intelligently argued with her at least 3 times, you’ve got to get ready to come to her rescue. (So do your f*cking homework this week.) See, wait till she’s debating with someone else and starting to struggle, then jump in on her side. Say slightly aggressively to the opponent, “No, I don’t think you understand what she’s saying. She is completely right about (what she’s right about here. Make sure you know what she was trying to say).” As you finish, give her a slightly embarrassed, I-didn’t-mean-to-get-so-caught-up smile and ask if that’s what she meant. It is. Now you’re on a team.
