Are all there okay?
 
All three are grammatically correct. "Can" is right if Lisa has accepted you and "could" if not.

There's a fourth possibility: I know I can give her what other guys couldn't. That would argue your case forcefully.

By the way, could you tell us what that missing point zero zero one is in the fourth case? It would be so useful to know;-)
 
Yes! Never know, maybe a maniac or zombie might rip out my heart, and I doubt I'd care or even have the ability to care what happens to my heart then.
 
Actually, none of them can give her your heart, so you could up the figure to 100%. :up:
