Good god, it just hit me, I am screwed. This girl is easily a high 9/10 and I am going to prom with her. It's in 1 week, saturday apr 16th. We're both seniors...anyone have any tips for me to help me survive the night? (and the week leading up to the prom)
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
going to prom with a girl way out of my league.

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

I don't see how you're screwed. You can't be too out of her league if she likes you enough to go with you. But one tip would be not to treat her like she is out of your league or you will convince her that she is and it can only go downhill once she believes that.
Best friends? NAY

If she starts dancing with other guys, then go dance with other girls.
"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.

i can't believe you really think your screwed
dude, she agreed to go with you. meaning she likes you. meaning that you should be looking forward to this as potentially the best night of your life. but don't worry about trying to make it this way. just HAVE FUN!
if things go well, let her touch your penis

thanks mr. i'll just keep in mind "have a good time" and hopefully it will take care of the rest. Anyways, I'm going with a friend who is one of the funniest people I've ever met so hopefully he will help lighten the mood and help me break the ice.

Maybe instead of convinving yourself thats she ugly you can get in your head that you can roll with the pretty ones?
"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
Read the title of your post again. Sounds like someone needs to fukken grow a pair.
She's going with you and she is the luckiest girl at the school because of this, never forget that. You wont dance with other girls as a result of her dancing with guys, it's easy to see whats happening there. Instead, you will take the power and dance with other girls first. If she does dance with other guys, you wont care, you not ****en tied together by the leg.
Most importantly, have a good fukken time and dont spend your whole night analysing ****.

Hmm. From the looks of it you seem to feel as if this girl is TO GOOD for you. If you go in with THAT mindset, you have already lost.....BIGTIME.
"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.

She's not out of your league. Don't ever think a girl is out of your league.
Just go into the dance looking to have a great time.

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
