"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

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

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?
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

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.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

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?
