hey Justin
I remember you guys covering HVZ a couple whiles ago here at -college- we are doing it up again. WoooohoO! The “Problem” is that a girl that my squad runs with is everything I want in a relationship. How do I ask her to hang out during these Zombie attacks?

Ah, sweet romance over the dead. In a way that doesn’t get you arrested at the cemetery. I am going to treat your love advice as if there were a zombie threat at hand.
First: never on the battlefield. You don’t want to pull out emotional bombs like that while someone is covering you with suppressing fire. That would just confuse, disorient, and make you and the girl potentially weaker. Tell or ask her on downtime where she can process it without thinking about changing rounds.
Second: no matter what she says, you will be fine. If she says yes, then you have an even more loyal squad mate. If not then she can go die by the flesh-eating monsters. That way it won’t be awkward.
Third: tell her how you feel. You might not live to the next day so go out knowing.
Forth: if she turns, you shoot her. None of this emotional crap about holding on to the memory. And try not to get a stiffy if she is climbing on top of you; she wants your flesh in a way that is very unsettling.
Other than that, I think that this is a great time to meet women. You both are using your skills to overcome a greater problem and rising to the task; you will both see the best and worst sides of yourselves in combat. If she sees all that and likes you still, you have a keeper. Plus, it’s a girl that plays HVZ: they are already goddesses to Nerdery as a whole.
