"I just moved here from Florida."

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.

I've got some songs that are positive rather than crying about how someone got ****ed over.

Most of it is underground rap. Don't knock these songs until you listen to them. None of that mainstream BS love song crap.

Akrobatik - Women II. Song is about maturing with women.

Apathy - Womanizer. This song is basically about not loosing confidence. Nightlife, this song basically what confidence will do for you.

3582 - Bad As They Come (Remix). This song might be hard to find. But you can stream it @ undergroundhiphop.com Although the beat sounds like ass over Real Player. Song can be summed up with "Sorry babe, this time you got played."

Murs - Bad Man. A song calling out womens BS.

Louis Logic - Idiot gear. About the stupid **** guys ask about a girls past.

I know there are many more from underground emcess, but right now this is all I can think of.

Oh yeah, listen to the Bee Gees-Stayin Alive before you go out. Pumps you up like a pimp.
:woo:
 

"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.

So I have to ask... who the **** raps about maturing with women? That sounds like the worst rap song ever.

Again, way to judge the song before listening to it. Not everyone is about ice, bling, rims, and Bentlys.

You're from Minnesota, have you ever heard of Atmosphere? These are emcess that have LYRICS in their songs. Not DJ shout outs, and murdering people in the club.

Yes I know Atmosphere. I have seen him before, along with I-dea and Brother Ali. It still sounds like a bad song, but maybe its the wording you chose.
 

"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.

Have you ever heard akrobatik before? I haven't heard that song but if it's by him I know it has to be good.
