"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.

What's your guys' standpoint on paying for prom? I figure if I'm dropping $200+ dollars for one night with a girl I'm not even in a relationship with is considered beyond retarded. So, I'm talking to this girl who I'm taking (we aren't in a relationship together).


Brighty: I was talking to Jeff and he thinks I should buy your ticket for you... then again its Jeff (known as a chode) so I'm not convinced.

Girl A: I think you should! Its kind of your job haha



How should I respond to this? Should I cave and end up buying her ticket for her, but play it off as making her qualify herself to me ("Well, what are some reasons why I should? ;)") or should I keep steadfast and tease her about it. If I should do the latter, what's a polite way to put it that I don't feel like I should spend $200 on her?
 

"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.

Tickets to your prom are $200? If you didn't want to pay for her, why did you ever bring it up in the first place? What did you think she would say? Think before you speak.

Why would tickets to prom be $200? No, they're $50, I'm just talking about the entire cost. And she brought it up first, but that was the other day and this is my conversation with her today. Try not to be such a ****.

I've told my boys to ask them out on a date a couple months before prom. If they don't want to date then, they aren't worth dropping $200 on for the prom. Since you've already asked her and don't seem to be dating her?don't know. I DO know a mother of 2 girls who have/are going to about 5 proms-hanging around facebook and getting asked to go by guys[they make sure to flirt with guys who have proms on different nights]. SO these girls are in a competition to "collect prom dates" and these chumps don't know any different.

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

Fvck our standpoint. Can't you think for yourself ?

And you set the frame of asking her if you should buy and gave value to her opinion.

You could have done this.

Okay so she brought it up first. That was definitely not made clear at the beginning which spawned my comment. How badly do you want to go to prom with this girl and how much do you care about money (or the concept of having to pay)? Only you know if it's worth it. Will she pay herself if you don't?
