"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.

Yes, I'm making another thread about prom again. This have to kill some respect or at least some of my pride...

Ok, it is now May 6th and Prom is June 1st. Now if anyone read my earlier prom thread (and another related to a ballroom dancing incident), I once had a date and she left me. Since then... I have not had much luck getting a new date. All the seniors to my knowledge in my school have a date even by the time she left me. Whoever thought they should put prom night the night before the SATs should be punched for that made my ability to get a Junior infinately harder (I know, some juniors would still go to prom anyways, the girls I know are the type that prioritize school very highly and so far have not been able to overcome that). I know a few girls outside of school, I have already asked all of them and said know for various reasons.

I was able to get one yes from all the girls I asked, a girl who I hold no attraction for, barely any rapport, seems to be very low on funds, and show no enthusiam to prom. When I asked her if she able to pay for her part for the limo... she told me she have no ability at all (when I asked her how would be pay for her dress, she told me she is going to go through a program that gives out old dresses). Following standard courtesy, I would pay for her ticket anyway, but now I have to pay for her part of her limo? Sounds pretty crappy deal to especially to this girl.

I guess I better get to the point, wtf should I do. I only have a few weeks left, I pretty much asked every girl I know decently, should I just go in a group/stag, not go at all, go with the girl that will cost me far much then I think she is worth, or some other option?
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Like I said, I already asked all the girls I know outside the school. I guess I'm going stag/group. Though it is a bit depressing, while I know everyone already had dates by the time I started looking again and the SATs thing is making all the juniors I know (most I know really takes school seriously) unable to go with me, I thought I would be able to find someone else who wants (and could, though theoretically a girl could go despite of SATs, it takes alot for a girl to take prom with me over resting for a test that play a large factor to her college future, hmm... putting it in that light, it would too selfish too...) to go with me.

Your taking a girl whose not going to your prom...it's pretty much standard courtesy to pay for her limo too...after all it's not her prom.

Sounds pretty crappy deal to especially to this girl.
That changes things, if she's not worth it don't take her

I only have a few weeks left, I pretty much asked every girl I know decently, should I just go in a group/stag, not go at all, go with the girl that will cost me far much then I think she is worth, or some other option?[/QUOTE]

Go stag if you want, but definitely go. A couple of my friends are going stag, it's actually not a bad deal, you have freedom people who go with dates don't.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

No, that's not at all enough time, however if she is going anyway you can ask her. Or, if your too afraid to do that just tell her you'll talk to her at prom, then you can make your move from there.
