"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.

Somebody tell me about Junior Prom?

Ok so my school's prom is looking pretty weak, low attendance and very few cute girls...

So I'm opting to go to this other school, A.I. for prom, this school is well-known for having lots and lots of hot girls. Right now I am pretty much guaranteed to get in, but before I drop the money on this night I want to make sure it's a good idea...

Now here are a few things to keep in mind:

I barely know anybody from this school, a few kids from my Jr. High but that's maybe 5 people

It's $85 for the ticket, not including money I'd have to spend to rent a tux, etc.

The school has a lot of hot girls, but I have no social proofing, no preselection, and no momentum as Norwegian says

I've never been to prom

So from a Don Juan standpoint, is this something worth going to? I want to make sure this is something I can have fun at and pick girls up before I drop half my money on this one night. Please give me your opinions.

Thanks in advance
 

"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.

In my opinion, school dances are just not that fun (it's the after parties that are)
I sure as hell wouldn't pay 85 bucks to go to someone elses prom.
but if you're gonna go, make the best of it and don't go in there thinking about all the things you don't have. It might turn out fun.

Sneak in some alcohol and ask some cool kids and hot chicks to share it with you outside, since proms don't supply alcohol ;) Unless they do in Norway?
 

"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.

Yea, I agree with Johnny, I don't know how they do proms where you are, but the majority of the girls at the proms around here, are already going to have a date. There may be that occasional group of girls that came as a group, but I'm not sure if I'd want to bet 85$ on that.

See if you can find out where the after parties are. That's where you have a much better chance of doing anything/having more fun. Instead of spending the $85 on a ticket, spend some on alcohol and bring it to the party, you'll definitely be let in and you'll have some instant social status.

Cheers!

How the F would we know? BTW, having no friends there, might make you appear creepy.

Go to prom with a date. Go to the afterparty without one. Going to prom dateless is a cry to be the butt of everyone's jokes. I don't know what it is in Norway, but why take chances?

If you don't have a date dont go. Prom is just a bunch of couples. GAY!
