"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Creative title eh? lol

My issue currently is not asking someone out do the event, it's the question that might follow up -> Are we going as friends or w/e? Or some variant thereof, what is a pretty suave way to answer that?

I heard somewhere "Stick around and you'll find out" but I'd imagine that could come off as sorta creepy. So do the masters have any ideas?

Also another thing, she keeps mentioning this one guy by asking me is he in my classes or just sometimes randomly asks stuff like that, I believe she has lunch with him - he's a new guy that apparently moved in not too long ago. Would this be a **** test or did her interest in me grow colder then an old corpse? What can I do to undo this unfortunate thing? Funny thing is I think she just is infatuated by him, she felt sorry and all since he was new etc, hope he gets tossed away into the friends bin for my sake. :D
 

"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.

First of all I'm no master but....

1)Picture this. There's a smoking hot girl that you want to ask to homecoming, but you can't work up the nerve to ask. However, another equally hot girl walks up to you and asks you to homecoming. What do you say?

This is kinda the situation the girl you want to ask to hc (lets call her A for times sake) is in.

The continue questioning is probably the **** test unless you are really good friends with her. IF your not she wouldn't be ruining her chances with you by asking about another dude, unless it was the **** test.

If she asks if your going as friends, say something like, "I dont no it depends how drunk we are" with a smile. Anything that will get her to laugh will pretty much guarantee you a yes. It also leaves the whole thing about friend or girlfriend for her to decide at the dance.

I dunno but, I would probably leave it at least very implied that we were not going as just friends. Like "we're going as a guy and a girl" or something...

I like that thanks, now is there any creative or suave way of asking someone out? I'm set to just be like "We are going to homecoming." dunno if that would work the wonders though.

Any thoughts?

EDIT: I was just doin some fluff text talk (I know it's against DJ policy but w/e) and she casually mentions "some guy told me he was gonna ask me to homecoming......" I want to emphasize the dots after that lol, I guess I gotta get my act together and pull this shindig off tomorrow, before whoever this is does (if he exists). That's funny though, someone saying that they will say something later very redundant. S4it test?

Well idk about other people, but i'd stick with asking her. We are going kinda thing just seems like it would cause a knee jerk reaction of "what?"/"um no"/"um where did you get that" thing, esp. if its a willfull girl. If you can pull that off go with it tho.

Also ask her tomorrow most def.
 

"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.

Yeah, I did it (asked not commanded ie want to go? as opposed to let's go!). Answer yes (with a smile). Now here comes the messed up part... My gut is not convinced... Is this normal? I also feel like my memory is betraying me with the exact details of how this went down. Apparently, some guy also asked her but she didn't want to go with him. Yeah I know that's a good sign. Oh man the event in 1.5 weeks away and it's stressing me out even though it shouldn't be. Well I guess I can safely say I won half the battle?

I also noticed asking girls to a 'formal' dance still gives me anxiety, as opposed on a casual date. Funny thing is, I'm not that compelled to go now haha, a lot of it was peer pressure.

Oh well, I guess the stuff is out of my control now.
