"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.

18, high school senior, enjoying life etc, but I've got a bit of a problem.

I've got prom coming up sometime in two months or so, and right now everyone's talking about it, asking people, etc. I'd rather not go alone, but I also really don't have anyone in mind who I'd like to take. I don't know many girls friendlyish enough to go as friends and as far as any sexualish relationships, I have none, none past, and none in the works. I've got one girl I'm going to ask as a friend whenever I see her next and a few who I know from out of school (If some miracle works out I might end up at another school's prom, that would be cool...I'm trying to avoid inter-school stuff if I can help it.) Potential girls are dropping like flies though, so I don't quite have much time.

At this point, I haven't even figured out any sort of limo situation. The group of people who all my classes are with are the hardcore nerds, who aren't even gonna go (and would be no fun to go with...they were talking today about tuxedo = +1 to looks +2 charisma like goddamn D&D. That's annoying.). I've got a few friends in other crowds and I know some of the popular group but not in a way that I'd end up in their limo or party bus or w/e. I don't have any one specific group (with any prom potential at least) that I roll with alot.

Like hell though I'm going to miss prom though.

I'm ready to go off to college so I can start fresh, sans reputations, sans D&D club classmates, and endowed with all the wisdom I've learned in HS.

I know the post may sound a bit pessimistic, and I'm normally not like this. I've been kinda out of it and sick for a couple days, but I need to do something about my situation.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Worst.Advice.Ever.

Go with some friends and just have a GREAT time. I find it hard to believe that you have no close friends. If you are enjoying yourself then the women with be drawn to you and that's where you score. (Beavis and Butthead will envy you.) Theres many other prom threads and this is sorta stolen from one of them by memory.

no.......not really. As I said this is from one of the other prom posts.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

I've got a few close friends, though all of em are from different groups and most are from the group thats not even goin (nerds...theyre who I have all my classes with and have had all my classes with), but I just realized that one dude i know prolly doesnt have a limo either, ima see if we can start one tomorrow. I don't have a strong presence in any participating group though, which is my problem as far as finding a limo.

start cultivating a girl to go with u romantically, but makes sure she doesnt just think it is purely to go to prom with you

Ding Ding Ding!

Prom isn't that big of a deal though! In high school i was pretty fat and big because i was determined to play college football so my confidence level was horrible. I just went with a bunch of my buddies and drank a ****load afterwards. Now i kinda wish i can go back because A) i'm a ****load lighter ... 40 pounds lighter and ripped as hell.... B) my game is 100 times better due to my high confidence level.. and C) I can dance really good!

LEARN HOW TO DANCE AS FAST AS YOU CAN!! get your one friend and go clubbing... watch other people as they're on the floor and practice at home. Dancing will be with you forever and i garantee if you're decent on the dance floor with a bad ass car ,you'll have no problem finding one or even a couple girls to take home with you or after party with!

I might go clubbing with some coworkers this weekend (I work at A+F) so I'll focus on learning to dance-I can bump and grind a bit, but not very well. Going stag could be awesome, I'll see if we can rent something with an ungodly powerful engine and both go stag and wingmatesish and whatnot, then find and afterparty and hook up with whoever.
