"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

I feel like white girls want to be friends with me because I'm black

I have no trouble at all getting girls of other races but it seems like the white girls just want to be friends with me. Before they even actually get to know me too. They seem really flirtatious but when it comes down to it they just want to hang out with me. I honestly feel that they just like having black friends. I sure as hell am no chump either, I see some white guys act like chumps and they still get these same girls. It's the same way for my black friends. I've read the bible and everything in there is common sense to me. I just can't understand why they try to be friends with us black guys.

I hope this doesn't offend anybody but I would appreciate some advice and I'm wondering if any other black guys here have the same problem.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

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.

Michael - white North American girls are the hardest to figure out. I have no answer for you. Maybe you could tell me why I get tonnes of attention from white girls, but zero attention from blacks or Asians?

Yeah obviosuly but why do they talk to me and ask me questions? When black girls do this with me it usually means they are interested.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

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.

Hmmmmm. I'd have to think about that one. Is it possible that maybe they are interested in you and you are just not seeing it because of some sort of cultural issues you are incorrectly perceiving?

I'd hate to think they are befriending you out of some sort of 'novelty' because they don't know too many black people.

Or maybe you're holding yourself back because you might think they couldn't possibly be interested....

This issue seems to be a bigger issue in the States than it ever would in Canada or England, so I don't know....

Wow, this is a toughie, I'm not sure, I'm positive this would not be an issue where I am from.

Too many brothas put white women on a pedestal. Stop that now if you're doing that. Also, how do you interact with these women? What environment are you meeting them in?

I tell you what, I'm black and I live in Maryland where there is a good mixture of ethnicities and I've had more white girls come on to me than black or any other race, go figure. *shrug* Part of me thinks that these days its more "popular" to date black guys.

So what makes you think that they only want to be friends? What has happened when you've tried to sarge them?
