"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.

I know I made a similar thread like this earlier, but is it really that worth it to get a prom date? Right now, I'm really just thinking about going stag(Which is allowed), however, I got two tickets. Reason I'm not trying to focus on getting a date for prom is because there's too much stuff. Like you can't just go up to a random girl ask her to prom and expect her to say yes, just doesn't happen. If a girls not REALLY good friends with you, she won't say yes. It's for this reason I'm not even very focused on getting a date.

"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.

Dude, this is you making excuses for your failings. Things that you cannot do are now "worthless", and a waste of time.

It's crap. Get out there, try to find a date, even if you can't you gave it your best.

Burying your head is not an option for a man.

Wrong. I could ask ANY freaking girl to prom, but it's worthless because no matter how good you are at game, most will say no unless you're like their good friend or even just in their social circle.

Crap mate. Just excuses and more excuses.

If you want to justify your lack of game/skills with your crapola, you've achieved it. Instead of moaning about it, do something about it.
 

"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.

Well lol I've gotten numbers, so yeah it's no lack of game. If I really felt like it I could try asking every girl. But that's just desperate and a waste of time.

Don't come that. If you had any shred of game, youd've used it to find a date and/or call these numbers you've got.

And where did I suggest just walking upto randomers, and asking out of the blue?? I suggested focusing efforts one about 3 girls, seeing if any met your standards, and then asking them, when you've got a "relationship".

Your fear of failure is massive dude.

Not really, seriously though I could go up to 10 girls today, ask them and I'd get some excuse or just no. It's no fear, it's just, I know how the system works. You aint her close friend, she aint taking you to prom.

Do I dare enter one of these debates? Yes, yes I do.

Anyway. Elstud, getting girls to go out with you is part of the game. More so then 'getting numbers' at least anyway.

Are you sure you understand what girls are actually for? The fun stuff starts happening when you take them out, lol.

Seriously though, ask one/some of the girls you have been number closing. Ones that don't go to your school might be more likely to say yes. Women understand social proofing from birth, lol.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

wait... so there are people who actually unchain their girls from the kitchen and let em go loose? weird....


anyways you know the stuff
go up to a girl, get a nice rapport, exchange numbers and if you are not sure enough, take her to your favorite coffeeshop/ hang out place first.
It aint THAT hard.

When I went to Prom a girl I didn't even know came up to me and ask me. I said no at first, but she was cute and had all her friends asking me that whole week, so I gave in and had a good time.

dude, any girl that is single and has an interest in going to prom would definetly say yes Here's why

1. Almost all girls want to go to the prom
2. How do the guys who don't have gfs get dates, they ask them
3. Even if you are a total loser, girls don't want to appear mean, and a lot of them will say yes just for feeling guilty. If they do that, you can prove them wrong at the prom.


You got nothing to lose, and everything to gain, give it a shot

Well lol my friend hooked me up with this girl named Daria, so APPARENTLY I have a date as of now. She's not that good looking, but hey, it beats having no prom date at all.

Ah dude, you know the old saying "beggars can't be choosers"
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
