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.

what was I thinking..
My lack of understanding ??? Or your determined attempt to stunt the growth of hip hop.. {Oh and by the way... I use the word your to include all your other idiotic underground brothers and sisters}
Dude in your pathetic attempt to illuminate the rest of us mere mortals about, real hip-hop getting tainted, you forget that all the artists that are on the radio today, rode the underground tread-mill, waiting for the day their deals would go through.
Indie music is a fukkyn wolf-pack of pissed off sorry-I-did-not make- it musicians, who are content with their underground following and dumbass underage puss.
So as not to have a sorry-ass snot-slinging-fest with a fykkyn hippie, which is what you are, I conclude by giving you kudos : telling you to lift up the cause and fight for the 'real ness' BRO!!!
Yep..continue living your life... In Pluto.

Oh,.. and you can tell all your 'real' brothers what I think of them over coffee at Starbucks..
Actually that looks to me like he's really pissed off. The girl ain't doin shiet cause she knows he'll fvck her up and won't get help from the people around cause no one is gonna fvck with big star Jay Z.Originally posted by Tha Realnezz
But that video was in "Backstage" too though.She just poking fun at him,he looked like he was just playing with her.
Average Generic rapper>John Lennon.
girls like dudes who can rap, often even if theyre not rich they are smooth talkers who hve a way with words. and despite what some of the backpackers may think jay-z is one of the best rappers aliveOriginally posted by skeeloo
chicks listen to jigga because of the chedar simple as that.
You are what people call a hypocryte. You are so quick to call him pigeon-holed when your entire lifestyle...indie lifestyle... centers around being pegion-holed..Originally posted by Interpol
His last two albums have been terrible, because he's stuck in his pigeonhole that he can never get out of - the angry white guy who had a sh*tty childhood, hates his mom and ex-wife, and loves his daughter. And he poses with no shirt in teeny-bopper magazines and acts like he's "keeping it real". Yeah, whatever.
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.
So, before Eminem got famous, he was bad? all of a sudden he became a good rapper? In '97, Only a few people knew Eminem. When he realesed "My name is" in '99 that got over-played on the radios, you'd be stupid not to know him!!Originally posted by Levex
Underground music is underground because it sucks. The good bands/rappers that do make it on the main stage get labeled "sell outs" because they actually want to make some money from their music and stop performing on piss-covered stages for minimum wage.
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.
You can't be serious.Originally posted by Levex
