"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
Am I a loser if I don't go to prom?

"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Unless you are financially unable - you SHOULD go to prom and ENJOY yourself. Show up late, spend an hour remembering the good times youve had (everyones had SOME) - go out and get drunk... have some afterprom fun!

I have an almost mandatory recommendation: Alcohol.
I have a very fond memory of my senior prom and a group of about 30 of us beforehand just getting hammered and going in.
It was a great time...Everyone carefree as hell just having the time of our lives. Just when I thought the night couldnt get any better, "Wish You Were Here" by Incubus came on. As soon as it started I looked over to a couple buddies of mine and we each yelled in unison at the top of our lungs "Fvck yeah!" The three of us climbed up onto some bleachers (it was in our HS gym) and sang the sh!t out of it. Hell, we even attracted a decent crowd cheering us on, even though I'm not sure if they could hear us over the speakers. Now that I think about it, the song was like an anthem for the night. Good times...Good times.
But anyway...Have fun, man.

I've got my senior prom this year too. I didn't even think about asking a girl. Do you have to dress up to go? I was thinking I would go with my friends up not really dressed up.
"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
I'm not positive but I assume just about every prom is formal (tux and dresses).
I want to get a buzz going before the dance but I have a little problem. The guys dance with their mom after grand march. I know she'll smell the alcohol but I really want to drink before it. What should i do?
