"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.

I asked a girl I fancied to prom a month ago, but she gave me a lame excuse...something about not being able to get a dress she liked.

Recently, I found out through her best friend that she is now going to prom, but I have not heard this from her, which pretty much sets in stone the fact that she rejected me (apparently she wants to go alone and w/o a date).

But I am past that.

The thing is, do you guys think asking her best friend to prom is a good idea? I know her best friend is looking for a date and is single.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

hahaha that would be the perfect thing to do to get back at that girl. it would be a slap in the face. definatley ask her friend to prom assuming shes higher than a 6/10

yeah the original girl is a HB 8.5 or so, and her friend is a HB7. I'm not doing this with the intention of "getting back" at her, but really I want a date and I'm going to ask her friend because a lot of other girls are taken already.

I'm gonna ask and i'll let you guys know how it goes. :up: (unless there are any objections)

Alright guys, I got back. This is how the convo went. We met at Starbucks:

Me: hey, you got here fast
Her: yeah...
Me: wow you seem really excited...(sarcasm)
Her: yeah..
chit chat chit chat for a few minutes
Me: so you wanna go to prom with me?
Her: um...well...
Me: well....
Her: basically I can't go with you because I'm already going with :blank: and I don't want to betray my friend.
Me: alright that's cool. I hope you have fun with :blank:.

then I went back to talking but it was awkward as hell...yea...

Strike 2 for me :(

I didn't ask who she was going with. She just said someone, and I didn't ask why it would mess things up with her friend, but you know, gotta cut my losses and move on right?
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
