"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.

Hey all, I've been lurking in these forums for quite a while, and I have to say I've grown to have a lot of respect for (most of) you. As such, I was wondering if ye might be willin' to give me some feedback on the following method of asking a girl to prom.

2 origami rose heads, spraypainted (very artfully if I do say so myself) yellow, taped on either side of a printed artwork of a pencil sketch rose, with the following words underneath it:

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
My spray paint is yellow...

...will you go to Prom with me?

I'm goin for the quirky vaguely funny route since I feel thats most likely the quality that she likes in me (as of this posting I've built up a nice repoir w/ her, and the word on the street(read: halls) is that she is waiting for me to ask her)

thoughts? Comments? Monkeys?

Thanks

"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.

If she's waiting for you to ask her, it doesn't really matter how. That way is fine.

If she's not, though, then I wouldn't advise that route. The straight up, confident approach would fit better.

Since you say she is supposedly waiting for you to do it, go with your plan.

Sounds like you already made your mind up on what you want to do and are just looking for reassurance about it. Sure, it's a good idea, you might get her to laugh, and since she likes you anyway it really doesn't matter how you ask her.

"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.
