"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.

Hey guys, so tonight production on my first rap track was completed. It's available at this link for listening and download: http://belgianman.com/songs/36/display

Its the first track that's gonna end up on my mixtape--and my budding rap career has done a lot for me from a DJ standpoint as well. I tell girls that I'm a rapper/producer and they get an extra spark in their eye. Its like a hobby, but slightly more official, so not only do you look like a busy guy, you look like you have things going for you. Check out the link and tell me what you think.

Please no "I hate rap, its all junk" comments. If you're not a fan, just steer clear.
 

"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.

Im a big rap fan, so heres my opinion.

I think the beat is fvcking dope, you did a great job there.

But, like with most budding rappers, you lack A LOT of emotion. You sound so monotone, and your not rapping with any emotion. It sounds extremely monotone actually; so you really need to work speaking louder, rapping with more emotion, all that. Listen to guys like immortal technique, then you'll understand what rapping with emotion is like. Notice how technique doesnt sound so montone, boring, and isnt at the same pitch/emotion level with each verse.

Noted. That's been a common criticism. Thanks for the input Eaglez.

This is a new song:

It might still be a little monotone.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

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.

bro u sound like ur puttin on an act tbh, needa loosen up n just let it flow naturally.. maybe if u start rhyming about things that are more conscious, that u actually care about, then it'l happen.

imo, the world doesnt need another fake person rapping about gettin paid and f_cking b*tches, unless ur really creative with it, its very played out..

just my opinion tho..

check this guy out

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
