"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.

Hi guys, I'm a senior, boy, I just moved from France, and I have some questions about high school, because it's really different in France, so i'm a little lost ;)
First, it's a little stupid but how do you make friends ?? I france we always are with the same people in class, there are breaks where you arr with them so you can't evitate them. But here, i don't have time to speak to others people, and with my bad speaking it's hard. So, when do you make friends ?
Then, it's about the homecoming dance. I'm going, but I don't have a date (because i don't know anybody). Is it ok to go there without a date ? What to wear, a suit ?
This question is for girls, in France people say that americans girls love frenchies, the accent, ect. Is that true ?
Last question, still for girls, if i go to see a girl that i don't really know and i ask her for a date, will she be shocked or is it ok ? In france if you want a date you have to know well the girl, but here everything is differrent !
I really need help, it's hard for me and i really want to have fun this year, and not stay alone... Thanks guys.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

I suppose your main issue is language but just from reading your post, your English seems to be quite decent. Where I live we don't have homecomings. We have the equivalent(?) which are proms and yes you do wear suits but dates are not necessary. In fact, most people at my prom were dateless.
 

"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.

one good way to make friends at school is through joining some organization.
if you play sports, this is another good way to make friends.
you'll have to step out and talk to people though. i know this is harder because of your language issue. but most people (hopefully) should understand that you are new to this country and accept you for that.

i do not know how to answer your homecoming question. your homecoming may be different from others. you should ask someone else at your school for this information.

you being french would be helpful with a lot of women. yes many american females (not all) would find the french accent/appearance to be attractive.

as for your last question- it depends on the girl. some will be shocked, as you say. and some will not be.

good luck. i hope this helps
