"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.

why are black people so rude?

"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.

I like the part where you completely misread my post and skipped the part where I never said there's anything wrong with rap. Let me dumb it down for you. Hell, just re-read the entire thing, maybe then you'll get it.

I'm talking about the music that's stereotyped that black people listen to, like "ridin dirty" and sh!t, that's what makes them look bad.. Hell I've probably had more black friends than you so I don't care what you say. I bet you're more racist than me.
your still a racist and for the record Im African amercican how the **** are you gonna say the rap music that black listen to makes them look bad. that comment alone tells me your a racist piece of ****. you don't hear me say stuff like punk music make white people look bad. plain and simple your a racist and you better be lucky you did not say any of that crap in front of me because it would not be a pretty site for you.

Actually Ridin' Dirty is a white boy song, no legitimate black folk has ever liked that song or Chamillionaire in general. Offtopic of course
I listen to some Chamilionaire
 

"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.

Actually to me most rap and rock music is watered down sucky trash these days. It all sounds the same (the stuff they play on the radio). Nobody wants to be original anymore for some reason. The one alt. rock station actually was turned off in my town because there isn't enough good new music out. A war in Iraq, crappy economy, and no good music to listen too. These are the days... Whaaaaa!

Rage, quit being so touchy. Having oversensitive feelings is entirely UNMANLY.

And you're probably right that having a thug attitude is helpful for people that grow up in the ghetto. But the sad thing is that even well-off black guys also feel a pressure to act like they're from a ghetto! Or at least it seems that way to me. It's stupid how we glorify a criminal culture.

Yeah? Well I have a friend who's black and we're not afraid to talk about that stuff to each other. So really I have said it to a black person's face. So much for that comeback. You might want to re-read every single thing I ever said, because you have the amazing ability to translate everything I say to "rap music makes black people look bad." Maybe it is you who is racist and not me, because I never even brought that up, you did. Yes I Know you're black.
no you are the racist one buddy and there is nothing you can say to try and change the subject. And just cuz you have a black does not mean you can't still be a racist.

If they're well mannered then there's nothing wrong with them. Rap is okay, but when a group of black people (or any one at all) is in a car blasting that 94.9 (like riding dirty, chain hang low) type bullsh!t they really should get shot.
and your saying you never said these word then?

look man I am fed up with white people always critizing black on everything they do. I should not have to come on to a online internet form where men are trying to learn how to game women and see racist crap like this. It's uncalled for and every race has bad seeds.
 

"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.

Yeah? Well I listen to some punk. Who cares? If I drove in a car blasting the stuff I think I'd look like a j@ckass too.

And if you'd really beat the sh!t out of me because of what I said, well, you may think it would make you look like a man, but it would just make you an oversensitive idiot who needs to work on his anger management.
whatever racist pig

I don't care if you're "fed up." You're still acting like an overly sensitive little b1tch. Learn to handle a debate like a gentleman instead of resorting to name-calling the moment someone disagrees with you.

Let's pretend, for the sake of you thinking you're right, that I DID say rap sucks.

You said yourself you would beat the sh!t out of me because I said rap sucks. If that's not oversensitive I don't know what is. You should be put in prison if you act like that...
hey idiot I did not say that you said rap suck I am calling you a racist because you said that black people listening to rap music makes them look bad and they should be shot. And you deserve to get jumped by a group of blacks for that racist comment you said.
 

"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.

And if you think I implied that ALL black people that listen to rap should LITERALLY get shot, you're just an idiot who needs to stop talking.
your still a racist pig for making those comments period.
 

"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.
