"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.

This is a bit in reference to an earlier post I made...
in the interim before prom, my date (whom I only knew marginally well), started going out w/ another guy and told me, so I offered to break it off and let her go w/ the other guy (we're both seniors, she's a soph, so we're the only way she's going to prom). But, according to her, her new bf (who used to be a buddy of mine awhile back) isn't really into prom, and so she still wants to go with me...to which I have acquiesed.
My feeling is that
A. I can still have a good time with a fun person
B. I can get myself some social proof
C. I'm one charming mofo:D ---maybe I'll steal her heart.

Advice/comments?
 

"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.

First of all she's a ***** for doing what she did.

Second, if she's the hottest date you can get, then go for it.

Third, awkwardness is all relative, as is embarassment. Nothing has to be awkward.

agree with Full Throttle, unless you're set on getting laid prom night. Then you should have tried to find someone else ASAP after she backed out on you. At this point, you can just go with her and have a good time. Don't expect anything, she's in a relationship.

I don't know why the fuk her bf would let her do this, but whatever.

Thanks guys. No, I'm not expecting sh*t from this girl, which is why I just set up a date w/ another HB for next weekend, so I'll always have some recourse to tail (man, it feels good to be back in the game!)
But yeah, I'm not set on getting laid prom night, and honestly, my respect level for both the girl and her BF has dropped considerably.

But whatev. I'll just have fun with whatever comes my way.
