Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
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.
Anything that has "pimp", "azz", "booty", "b*tch" etc... in the lyrics is all good...Kas said:Im having a house party next week. Im putting some hiphop cd's together to be bumpin.
Any good clubbish hiphop songs that would be good for a party ?

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.
That is like me saying... Whoa man, leave the computers to the white people. CH CH CH. After all, white people made 'em? :nono: Seriously, that is the dumbest ass arguement ever.CrazyGuy said:haha look at you whiteboys all listening to black music,all the artist you guys are naming are BLACK!Its all black music and you guys are white.
We should leave hip hop to black culture
listen to some white music like Green Day!
Haha well if you notice 95% of the music artist in rap/hiphop are BLACK!All the artist you guys are naming expect for vanilla ice are BLACK!Its the FACT hip hop is part of black culture and you whitepeople enjoy it,so respect blackpeople for their music it aint your music.Wee said:That is like me saying...

Seriously man, the vanilla ice song idea is good, haha get's people laughin'. Ask other people to bring their own mix CD's too.
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
Of course, it is impossible to think of it as "people's" music. Nah, we gotta separate everyone by their race and color of their skin, right? Thank you for setting the end of racism back another 50 years. "But it is ok when black people separate from white people, not the other way around" It is a nasty double standard.CrazyGuy said:Haha well if you notice 95% of the music artist in rap/hiphop are BLACK!All the artist you guys are naming expect for vanilla ice are BLACK!Its the FACT hip hop is part of black culture and you whitepeople enjoy it,so respect blackpeople for their music it aint your music.
So your assuming hu?All Im pointing is it seems like YOU whites are forgetting hip hop is black music and their culture.Im not going about skin im saying you whitepeople wanan be black,listening to black music sure its entertaining but what about white music?Back another 50years would mean slavery you idiot,actually it is ok if blackpeople seperate from whitepeople look at whitepeople did to them in the past and present.Loook around YOU whitepeople are also the ones who seperate themselves,remeber "Seggeration"backin the days?It was thought of by whitepeople,not blackpeople.I still see it in todays society aswell,of seperation.Wee said:Of course, it is impossible to think of it as "people's" music.

So making people stick to their culture is seperation right?Your an idiot if you think that its people need to worship&stay to their culture,hip hop is black culture and their music,and you need to accept your culture.Wee said:Haha 50 years wasn't slavery, just apartheid, but whatever.
Haha, I'll listen to the music I want. It is totally cool if you wanna keep white people and black people separated, but I do enjoy equality without separation.
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.
