Would you say a good alternative to raffling women is duping and breaking agreements with your friends?
Bohoohoo. The power of friendship. Wake up man. They are competing for a girl.

Might as well fight them for her if all principles are thrown out.
Hey, violence is the last resource of the incompetent.

I agree with this guy. The OP should play them off against each other.

All three of you will walk into a room while she is alone and call her name. Whoever she approaches gets to keep her.

Okay, so, today this girl I know-Lauren, just took a sudden dis-interest in talking to me. Is she just on her period or something?

Great idea.

Meanwhile, if your friends get pissed and bothered that you got a girl, then they're not worth keeping.
Just bite the bullet and ask her or something.

Ask her out? You've made it too complicated.

They aren't raffling her they are deciding between them which gets to try and ask her (first? assuming if they fail the other is allowed to try). It's an agreement between them and nothing to do with the girl.

Her only choice is to accept or not when/if one of them asks her.

One of you should just jump the gun and ask her out and then the other two lose in a completely fair way because they didn't have the brains to do it first

Yeah, we have an age-old saying here "Tko prvi do djevojke, njegova djevojka", which translates as "The first one to get to the girl, gets the girl". It's usually not this literal (it's our equivalent of "Early bird gets the worm"), but that doesn't mean it's any less true. So yeah, if me and my friends were in that situation, we'd all try to get with her, but once someone succeeds the other guys would drop it.

Goddamn. Just ask the girl out. Your friend does what ever he wants to. If she accepts to go out with you, you'll see if she's really worth of it. If she's not, you're more than happy to let your friend have a change. If she is, do what you got to do. It's that easy, really.

Ask yourself:

Is dating some girl you know whom you will probably not have a lasting relationship with (just by statistics here) really worth spoiling your friendships with your two friends?

Here's what I suggest you do personally, though.

Flip a coin. Heads you just up and ask her out, tails, you keep your mouth shut. Not because I expect you to obey the will of random chance, but because as that coin is tumbling through the air, you will suddenly know which side of the coin you hope comes up.

I know it's unrealistic, but I can't help but imagine little bearded babies for dwarves. In my mind, they come out of the womb fully bearded. That's how the mother carries them around, too, she just drags them around by the beard or ties it to her belt. When the father's on duty, he just ties their beards together and the baby just kind of hangs there, swinging to and fro with Urist McDaddy's movements.

Seriously. Whichever one of you has the most initiative to just ask her out is probably the one that will be most attractive to her anyway. If the other two are so obsessed with her that they can't get over that, they need to get lives.

As always, ignore Armok's advice.

Kill the others, make them into a fabulous bone brooch, and give it to her as a gift.
