"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.

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
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.

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..
Again you're missing the point. The best underground artists aren't trying to appeal to any mainstream. And that's why they'll always have more potential, because they can make the music they want to rather than the music people expect from them.
Look at Eminem for example. He has plenty of TALENT, I won't deny that. But it's too bad he's just wasting it now, whoring himself out to MTV. 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.

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.
But whatever. She may have deserved it. Just like a guy, if a girl get stupid she sometimes needs a b!tch slap. He only pushed her face and head.

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 alive
"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
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.

Mainstream rap is mostly BS, lots of underground is real, I wouldn't say this about any other genre of music, but it just is especially for rap.
Lots of rappers didn't get a chance to be big, but that ain't nothing. Nelly is #1 in the charts, does any rap buff here think that if Nelly battles Immortal Technique, he'd win?
I.T. would tear him to little pieces. I have video battles with I.T., about 15 videos, and he hasn't lost in any of those.Rap is a skill, that's why I judge a rapper's ability by how well he'd do in battles.
Any b!tch can sit hours after hours writing lyrics and rhyming, any b!tch can use computer effects and voice effects, and if you just get rich, you hire the best producers, and that's how you get that catchy beat.

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!!
He was great before anything he released (or during the period he realesed his albums in '97), he was underground.
Dr Dre helped him become this famous, if it weren't for Dre, Eminem would still be "underground", and he'd still have the skills he has now, without the pressure of being "mainstream" and the paparazzi, so on second thought, it actually means that he'd be even better, without that pressure.
And a few years after he got famous, he went back to Detroit and dragged the people of his group (D12) with him, and that's how they are mainstream now. It's like the circle of life.
Same thing with lots of other rappers, actors, artists, you name it.
I'm not saying all mainstream rappers are sell-outs, lots of them have skill, and so do many underground rappers.
Money/fame doesn't = skills
"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
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.

You can't be serious.
What's up with this trend of calling everyone who doesn't like gay-z and eminem a backpacker and then saying they listen to underground because it's underground and that underground sucks because they don't make money.
If you would judge music by the music and not by the 'status' of the artist you guys probably wouldn't babble such nonsense.
