"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.

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?
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

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.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

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.
