For those who don't know im a high school student in a college program, so im a senior/college student. Thing is my original school sent a letter saying i could go to homecoming and im planning on going because i never went before. However this is the same school where i got rejected by 15+ girls. I was very foolish i'll admit during high school. But i do want to go, and there is one girl who i know is going who i would like to ask out. I just feel bad that im going to have to see all those girls again and return to the sneers i know they are going to give me. All this time i spent running away from the past and now im going to have to see it again.
"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.
Im Afraid
