Just curious what race are you?
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.
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.
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.
It means Latino, of course. And before anyone says that's an ethnicity not a race, I say it's very odd then that you can always tell by appearance who is Latino in Los Angeles and who isn't. To be even more exact it should say "South American Indian/Mestizo" I suppose.seagull said:Where's the option for mixed? And Spanish is a nationality, not a race.

Should be Jewish and Arab in the poll also, but what the hell. Funny that other groups are so far represented in a higher percentage than their part of the Western population, I would have thought it would follow demographics fairly evenly. Let's see if it stays that way. Then again the forum isn't only for Westerners.
That's hilarious. It's the only way to go? Ok, I'll be black from now on. You convinced me.Cry For Love said:Black Power, bruthas. Its the only way to go, the natural PU race, with all due respect to our white and asian hoodies
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.
stop your b!tching and this is the problem with race. Besides it don't freaking matter if your white, black, or a smurf (proud smurf right here), what matters is the results of your game AND your characterMaxtro said:I'm half American white and half Cuban, yet I can only choose one...
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.

wow such ignorance, hispanic/latino is not a race and not all the people in southamerica, mexico, central america, look the sameVeridin said:It means Latino, of course.
