Why are girls always trying to be nice rejecting people? And how do they do it? How can they be so sincerely happy when accepting whatever it is, knowing they will later reject it.
I read on a website: "One of the best prom date ideas is to just go ahead and ask someone to be your date, even if you don’t know them very well. Psychologists say that you have very good chances of him agreeing to be your date."
Results? ... Yes sure, it worked today, I was really proud of myself for not showing any shyness (unlike usual) and her saying yes with the greatest and most honest smile I have ever seen her have...
2 hours later I get a text from the girl making sure that we're going as friends not a date. Yet I never saw her smile so hard before when I asked her if she wants to go prom with me "as a date" (which I said clearly).
She even told me later that she doesn't mind me going with someone else as a date, or I can still opt to go as friends with her.
Just out of curiousity, why do girls accept whatever is it, a date, or prom perhaps, and then later reject it?
I understand it's not a nice thing to do, so we all leave it for dealing with later. However this isn't the first time it's happened to me and all the girls I have asked were really sincerely happy when they accepted my date or promposal, and then later reject me hours later over text.
Are girls just so sincere when accepting because they can pull it off so well, and then reject? I'd find it really happy to pull off being sincere when I know I'm going to tell them no later because I don't really find them attractive romantically.
Just curious what people think...

I think you are generalising horribly from one event.
Sounds like she had second thoughts.
Or maybe the way you asked is the problem, perhaps she didn't feel she could refuse you until she was at a safe distance.
But I'm guessing. People do weird things. That's people, not just girls.
[added]:
You still haven't taken my previous advice to look at females as the individuals that they are, not treat them as clones of some fearful creature from another planet.
Going from nowhere to asking someone out on a date is fraught with risk; as I said before: get to know someone as a friend, then (A) You'll know before you ask what the answer will be [at least 99% of the time] and (B) The answer is MUCH more likely to be 'yes'.
The advice you quoted was about females asking males; it's based on the theory that males are too scared to ask. Fair bit of truth there, with adolescent males, but again - it's a generalisation, not a rigid rule. People are unique individuals.
Go buy Star Trek Voyager on DVD and follow the adventures of '7 of 9'. It just might help.

I was referring as from my position as a male, having asked her out with was a challenge. But then her accepting it at first in person however later over message saying something else.
I think I agree with the fact she may have had second thoughts, we know each other, maybe not too well just briefly. I understand why I should have become better friends because she is kind of treating me like the book cover analogy "never judge by a books cover" because you don't know what's inside. In this instance she does not know what I am like as a person, we only rarely speak.
Anyway because of the upcoming exams I felt more worried about them and getting coursework handed in before the deadline, which I still am worried about.
What I think I should do, because I have noticed her behaviour change around me, we hardly ever see each other but now when we do, shes very silent and cheerful. I think I should break the silence and we should get to know each other better prior to prom "as friends".
Thanks for the advice.
