Deva: Living Outside The Ladder (Complete Story)

Meet Deva Ratnam, a 14 year old boy genius entering high school as a senior student. Unlike several examples of young prodigies (think TJ Henderson from Smart Guy and Sheldon Cooper from Young Sheldon), Deva, despite breezing through his courses thanks to his high IQ of 155, finds majority of school subjects boring except for sciences. There's one science he has yet to figure out, and that's the science of dating. Unfortunately for Deva, his entire school knows him as the uber-nerd and is thus avoided by many students as a result. Seeing no other choice, Deva decides to take matters into his own hands by becoming a man of self-sufficiency, determined to not have his life defined by social statuses and social circles. He builds a life outside of school.

Some situations Deva (& Rebecca) will answer the following questions about dating.

-How do you approach someone you like?
-What do you say to them after you approached?
-How can you tell when they wants to be approached vs when they don't?
-How can you tell if they just doesn't like you?
-How do you handle getting rejected?
-How do you set up a date with your crush?
-What do you do when you get put in the friendzone?
-When do you go for the kiss?
