"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.

There is this girl that I like who I am taking to prom. Prom is about a month and a half away. I want to date her but I'm afraid that we may date and then it will turn sour which would equal a really uncomfortable prom night. What would u do in my situation?
 

"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.

If it turns sour you find someone else to take to prom, or go alone or don't go... *shrugs*. It's still worth trying.

If you're thinking of delaying the asking out until near prom so it doesn't sour, I wouldn't. Better to sour it before than later.

you're thinking too far into it. More than likely, she's probably thinking that too, so she'll try to make it last. Plus, why would it go sour?

Well if I find out she's not interested in me then prom night won't be as fun as expected.
