"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.

Going to keep this short.

Homecoming is coming up, this girl who I kinda would like as a f-buddy wants me to ask her to go (I can definitely tell just by her actions). I don't want to go to homecoming. Right now I'm just ignoring it and advancing my goal of f-buddy.

My only threat is she decides "hes not taking me to homecoming so I'm going to look for other guys". While I realize I don't want to be exclusive with her, shes the type of girl that would look for an exclusive relationship so she has someone to go to homecoming with.

Ideas?
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

$60 to sit in the school's cafe?

No thanks. I could split $60 out across like 4 nights out and have waaay more fun than spending it just to go to homecoming for one night. Plus tux rental and blah blah blaaah. Maybe senior year (I'm a junior), but just so I can say I did it.

If you don't take her, she will b!tch about it for weeks, and she will likely find another date. But the odds are probably 90% that he will be some afc who just screws it up anyway.

Spending money on a girl is often bad, but I think formal dances are one exception. They are incredibly stupid to us, but important to girls. You can still get what you want from her without the dance, but taking her may be the path of least resistance.

Not what I wanted to hear :(

I don't even know when homecoming is, all I know is they're selling tickets now and not for much longer.

I'll definitely think about it. How much are suit rentals?
 

"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.

you don't have to rent a tux do you? homecoming at my school is semi formal, thrown on a nice button up shirt, slacks, tie, suspenders if you want w/e and you're good to go.

you could always propose to go somewhere else instead of homecoming, not sure how that would fly with her though.
