Okay so, prom is coming up (22nd ) which I need a date for.
And I've just generally been feeling lonely recently, and I decided to do something about it.
Only problem being, I have no idea how to pull.
At all.
So does anyone have any pulling tips for me?
Like how to get noticed, how to approach someone you like, how to tell if someone likes you... etc. Any of that good stuff.
lol. I am the same way. So you don't sound like a fool to me. Which means I don't have too much advice either. But good luck!! Prom is fun. Congrats on making the decision to do something about it. :)
Sorry I don't really have any pulling tips for you as I'm not that great at it myself and need to be v. drunk to have enough confidence to go up to people I like and then make a fool out of myself so it's not something I'd recommend! I'd suggest just going to places where you will have chance to meet people and talk to them. Be yourself, I always find I get noticed more if I feel confident and comfortable with how I look/with myself. I tend to get a feeling when talking to people if they like you.
Do you really need a date for prom? I know it's always nice to have someone to go with but I've never taken anyone to prom or various different balls and I've always had a great time with my friends. Or if you really don't want to go by yourself do you have a male friend who could take you?
I hope someone can give you better advice, good luck!

I'm not sure I'm exactly an expert...but I reckon people prefer it if you don't try too hard. Just be natural, get chatting to people...then if you like them, a bit of subtle flirting is the way to go!
I usually start being friends with people before things get romantic, which cuts out the need for the awkward first approaches. But try and focus on things you have in common, make a joke, and stay relaxed!
Hope whatever happens you find what you're looking for- and just cos you're single doesn't mean you should be lonely, make the most of your friends and have fun, you'll find someone eventually.
Well I never make the first move unless completely wasted (dont recommend doing that!). Just try talking to people, acting confident is a huge help. People are attracted to confidence.
Naaaah, you don't sound like a fool xD. Unfortunately, I don't have any pulling tips to offer you, but hey, a date isn't everything. I didn't have a date at my prom (I did however get dragged onto the dance floor randomly for a slow dance...on crack, but that was merely retardedness, lol)
I'd say just to relax, be yourself and try and be quietly confident about it too. Even if you don't feel it too much just try and create that air around you and it might help a bit.
I don't have any tips to give 'cos I really suck at it but what I've been told is what I mentioned above.
get chatting to someone, with a bit of subtle flirting, and maybe innuendo, if they responde and flirt back ur in with a chance, just be confident (even if its fake, im an expert at fake confidence), if there quiet, ask so what are u doing on etc, if they can handle it be confident and go so when are u picking me up etc, have fun joke around, and if it doesnt happen dont worry about it!
