Okay, my school's homecoming dance is next saturday. I really want to go, but i don't have a date..... I really want to ask this one girl, but I don't know how. I want to go w/ her as friends. I have a confidence problem in this area. It's not something i can fake like public speaking. I'm a good public speaker, but i can never seem to ask a girl out. rejection is probably my biggest fear, and I don't know what to do about it. I realllly, as I said, want to go to homecoming, but I'm not going if i don't have a date. Only one of my friends is going, and he has a date. Advice from those of you that have experience on this situation will be appreciated.
"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.
Getting a date for homecoming......
