"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.

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?
 

"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.

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.

Buy the tickets, tell her that you tooled your mom, dad into buying them for both of you give her a high five, then be done with the whole thing. Its really not that big of a deal
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

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?
