"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.

ok here's the deal.

I'm going to ask this HB 9 to prom soon (this week or next week).

A small obstacle...

I haven't talked to her or seen her ins 2 weeks approximately. I've been busy as hell and spent my lunch time mostly in the library on schoolwork/club work instead of eating with her and my friends.

So i guess this is a pretty dumb question, but hey i'm a dj in training and i just wanna double check.


Plan:

i am going to ask if she's going with anyone yet. Then I will ask her out.

how's that sound? should i talk to her first? create some comfort??
 

"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.

Soften her up with some random fluff talk. Don't go straight into asking her to prom, just try to steer the conversation toward the prom topic. If she says no, don't get all pissed off, like "Fine, I didn't want to go to prom with you anyway.," or some random crap like that. I've seen it happen and the guy just looks like a ****head.

I remember askin my date to prom last year. I was in her class evry day and saw her almost evry morning. For over a week i was going to ask her but just talked and it never came up. Finally i was talking to her and just asked her. I was a little nervous but am glad i did it.

My advice is just start up a convorsation and ask her casually if she wants to go with you. It's really not a big deal.

hey thanks for that experience.

I think I'm going to start eating with them again and just bring it up whenever we're walking or alone. Then I will ask her casually.

Don't worry. If I get turned down, I'll say, "well that's cool. Have fun with whoever you're going with :) " then keep talking to her or something.
