"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

So last night was my junior prom. I went with a girl that has actually been in a relationship for about 4 months but is always really flirty and physical with me.

At the beginning of the night she acted like she normally does and i did a lot of kino on her and she responded well. When we got to the place and started to dance we were grinding and slow dancing and she seemed really into it but after about an hour she seemed to start to back off some.

The band took a break a little after this and during it she came up to me:

Her: Hey i don't think i can dance with you anymore..
Me: Oh why not?
Her: You know.. me and *boyfriend* have been dating for a long time.. i hope you understand
Me: Oh haha yeah its fine

So then she kind of goes off by herself for a while and i go back and start to dance with a few other girls (everyone had a date so not many options)..

I tried to have fun for the rest of the 6 hours lol but that kind of ruined it for me. Didn't act like it bothered me though and tried to act as happy as I could.

She seemed sort of distracted the rest of the night.
I'm a little confused lol.. Did i just take it to far and make her uncomfortable or what? Any thoughts?
 

"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.

Nah I dont think you took it too far. Seems to me that she just wanted to dance with you for a little bit but after a while felt kind of bad about herself cuz of her bf. Good job moving to other chicks though....and it shouldnt bother you at all nor ruin your night because its really not a big deal at all.

EDIT: and your prom was last night? Thats a really, really early prom most of em are in late may-june

Yeah it just kind of pissed me off since I had to pay for it and everything. I guess i was just expecting too much to happen lol.

Apparently she pulled my friend aside and asked him a bunch of questions like does he like me and stuff like that.

Our prom was really early because a bunch of the rich donating parents (I go to a pretty small private school) complained that it was normally too late and got it moved.

According to this, she was YOUR date. She AGREED to go to PROM with you. That sounds like a date.

And you failed her shyt test:

She WANTED to dance with you, but I believe she learned that people were talking about you and her behind your backs, and she caught wind of it. To avoid feeling like a slut or anything like that, plus possible drama, she decided to tell you off.

You did NOTHING wrong at all, except choose a girl with a boyfriend to be your date, without being able to handle the "boyfriend factor."

She and her boyfriend go to a different school and only about 5 people knew that she has a boyfriend and they're all really good friends with both of us so idk if that was it.

what should I have said? I was trying to show that it didn't effect me.

I wouldn't have expected anything if I knew she had a boyfriend, or even taken her for that matter. It could have been a lot of things. Could have just been because there were people around who knew she had a boyfriend, its not always totally your fault
