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.
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.
So if I can't speak Spanish, it's useless to go down there?Miami is the northernmost city of Latin America. You had better speak Spanish, or people will be angry at you. Either learn their language or stay out of their country.
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.
No. Only people who think they are "too old" refuse to learn English. You should be fine with younger women. I haven't come across a young person who doesn't know English in Miami, except for those who arrived recently.So if I can't speak Spanish, it's useless to go down there?
I call BS. I've been to Miami a few times. Never had any issues buying gas or getting served at restaurants and I don't speak a word of Spanish. Maybe there was something else about you or your ex-wife that caused the hostile reaction.I used to go down there with my ex-wife to visit a friend of hers when we lived in Tampa (which is a city in the US, unlike Miami). Gas station clerks would not sell me gas. Restaurants would refuse to serve us. The funny part was that my wife actually minored in Spanish in college, and spoke it fairly well. She was just infuriated at everyone there for not knowing English. And no, she wasn't an ignorant American. She was actually from the Caribbean and had lived all over the world. In the rest of the world, if you're going to live in someone else's country, you had damn well better at least try to learn their language. To act like you're better than that country's people and don't need to learn their ways is a tremendous insult. That's why if you're traveling from the US to Miami, you need to know Spanish.
This cracks me up! Yeah Mexican chick I dated always use to say you love my Latina ass don't you. Technically they are not Latinas!Miami of course. Texas only has Mexicans.
