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.
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.
She carried the revolver when she was moving escaping slaves between safe houses. She told every slave she rescued that if they turned around and tried to go back, she would shoot them in the back herself. She had to, because if anyone went back, they could give up all the safe house locations.She was after all a gun toting Republican.
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
What did Andrew Jackson do for white people?So?
What exactly does this do for black people?
Absolutely. This chick called me earlier saying she was so happy because of this.......As long as the money spends why should I care?
Defy a Supreme Court ruling that forcibly removed the Cherokee, Semiole, and Choctaw from their ancestoral homes in the Southeastern United Stated.What did Andrew Jackson do for white people?
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.
It means they can't blame white people anymore.So?
What exactly does this do for black people?
Yup. Martin Luther king was also a republican. Andrew Jackson started the democratic party. The kkk were democrats also. The khlan started to oppose republican legislation that gave blacks rights.I'm all for a pro-gun Republican replacing a Democrat on the $20 bill.

Won't be long methinksHere in Canada, we continue to wait for a (likely) lesbian feminist to show up on our bank note.
Even if he wasn't a registered republican, his values were certainly more right leaning. The premise of everything he fought for is based on freedom of people not government control or forced cultural brainwashing.Can we please stop with the bull**** that Martin Luther King was a republican. There is no proof of this. He did not align with either political party
Its pathetic how some people are so desperate to align themselves with historical figures by use of bisaed partisan political points.
Southern conservatives like J. Edgar Hoover.His values? Dude, southern conservatives hated MLK in his day.
He was most certainly a man with progressive politics. Right leaning my ass. He certainly wasn't when compared to his contemporaries.
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
