A college student named Jake Moreno used his professor's office hours to seek help in asking out a girl instead of help with the actual class.
Jake's professor, Shannon Atkinson, applied the application of ethos, logos, and pathos for a foolproof way to score a date. To refresh your memory from psychology class, these are the three modes of persuasion that make something appealing, thus persuading someone to assume the desired point of view.
The student took to his Twitter account to show a diagram he and his professor made, along with a text to the girl named Hannah.
As it turned out, college professors do know a thing or two, and the plan worked! Jake posted a follow-up to his date proposal and let people know that they had a ton of fun.
