Alright...I'm a junior right now and a senior asked me to her prom. I said yes. The problem is, I barely know this girl at all, but she's in a few of my classes. She's a HB6 at best, I've talked to her a few times, and it always fizzled out ot nothing in about 2 minutes. I don't think it would be a good idea to go with her because it wouldn't be fun for either of us and I can't imagine dancing with her, but I can't think of how to tell her I can't go. I have a track meet on that day at about 1:30, but is that a valid excuse? Any suggestions?
"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.
Blowing her off nicely....
