What is the loss in just asking out!

I seriously cannot understand this - What is the loss in just asking out?!

You encounter many situations in life when you just have to ask someone very a simple question and that someone's simple answer mostly either 'YES' or 'NO' can solve your problem. Or at least make the picture bit clear that he/she is not interested in helping you out so better find your own way!

One of my friend...he had few doubts in fluid mechanics. He never used to attend any lectures. So he was hesitating in asking to our respected teacher if he would help him. But I just asked him that can't he  go and ask at least. But he was afraid that he might say NO. So what but? Even if he was not asking, he was not getting any damn help from him. So at least his NO will clear the thing that my friend is not going to get is teacher's help.

Similar situation....A boy infatuated by some girl. I guess he should ask out at least but people don't do it. Why? Because girl may say no. But as such you are not getting her anyway! 

So today my message to you is whenever you are in such situation you better ask! Your views will be appreciated.
