I know a unicorn

Repeat after me, "there is no such thing as a unicorn" now say it to yourself 10,000 times bro, you're just deceiving yourself. If u wanna pursue it go for it but don't allow yourself to be deceived, because that is when you will let your guard down and lose her.

Act how you would with any other girl.

Personally I have various lines that if crossed it's over no matter what. OK I'm lying if my unicorn came back to me I'd give her as many chances as I could since I have never in my 30 years felt that way about any other women.

Think what you want about her, obviously no one here in the comments is going to convince you otherwise. Just don't let your delusions allow you to make life-long decisions before the oxytocin wears off in a couple of years.

Go ahead and start dating her, just don't stop reading TRP content so that when the red flags and flaws appear you don't ignore them because you have sunked costs, are meant to be married with kids or are too scared to be single.

Just realised you said she's your student. Next.

You never know someone until you know them, until you actually ask her out OP you're speaking out your ass. After that come back in 4 months and tell us she's still a unicorn . Please prove us wrong I would love to see that... but sooo highly doubt it.

You could define a unicorn as a woman that can satisfy you in every criteria.

Or to phrase it another way, you can define her as a woman who is incapable of being like bad women.

For the sake of arguing AWALT, I choose the latter. Because no matter how much she's been conditioned to show positive traits, be it by a parent or sibling, she's still an emotionally-driven creature. Under the right conditions, she'll be capable of rationalizing the bad behaviors we talk about when we say AWALT or "there are no unicorns." Under the right conditions and if she's sold herself on the idea (aka "hamstered it"), she will shit test, take a betabucks relationship, or do whatever you might frown upon.

The obvious truth I want you to get from the paragraph is that good people are no different than bad people, as both have convinced themselves of a philosophy. Even women who have sold themselves on the ideology of being unicorns have not simply destroyed the emotions that lead other women to be hypergamous.

Sometimes, and by sometimes I mean almost always, unicorns are just horses which have dildos glued on their heads.

What makes you perceive her as a unicorn is your effort to cling on to the idea of NAWALT (and possibly your hormones, you don't sound like you get laid). You just want to see a unicorn. Let me say again: There are no unicorns. At best, maybe there are women with relatively more self control but that's that.

If you think you found a unicorn and the literal next thing you say is she's cute it's clear your thinking is clouded.

I don't know this girl, she could be cool as hell.

But I can tell you the first thing that came to mind when you were trying to describe her was her physical beauty.

Doesn't sound very special, you just sound smitten.
