"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.

I live in Chicago Blackhawk country but have always liked the Blues. Blues going to Stanley Cup Finals for the first time since 1970. They've never won a cup in their history since 1967 or even a Stanley Cup final game in the few times they went. I'm tired of all these Blackhawk fans around me. Go Blues!!!
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

That is generous. I try to be generous to my Blackhawks fan in Cardinal fan friends too. But Not a single one of my Blackhawk friends has given me any positive words about the Blues this year. They are bitter cuz the Hawks sucked d!ck this year.

He had a no hitter going for a while, threw something like 136 pitches today. Cubs swept Cards at Wrigley, now Cards do the same at Busch. Baseball is a funny game. As in, how does Hicks throw 104 mph and still not manage to be a shutdown closer? 95 would be a changeup for that kid.

LMAO. I’m so happy there are some fellow baseball geeks around here. Kolton Wong’s catch off Rizzo was the play of the game. Hicks has more power than control when he’s used too much in sequential games. Wainwright was dealing today. Struck out Baez and Bryant several times. Great game. I’m going to try and get to a Cubs/Cards game at Wrigley this season...I usually take the kids to several games a year in STL. It’s such a great time.
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

Hang in there neighbor. If the Cubs can win it anyone can. It’s worth the wait.

Pretty God dam exciting!

Watch from the ninth inning of game 6 in 2011. And the extra inning.

There’s a reason STL fans cheer for David Freese when he comes to town, no matter what team he’s on. STL is a great baseball city. Very classy fans.

NL Central is always tough. Best division in baseball IMO in recent years...

I think there might be hockey tonight! Gotta go see, lol

Braves representin’ up in here.

I did watch the hockey game today. I have a buddy in STL and he keeps bugging me about it. Kept my attention I guess.

I am trying to be a Boston sports fan in general. I have no reason to be, I just like the aura around it, whole Irish vibe.

The Blues Just won and now they are ahead in the series. It’s getting real now. They could have a cup Sunday night in St. Louis.

I just woke up this morning and realize that the team I have been faithfully rooting for since 1987 is one game away from the Stanley Cup. For the first time. Don’t mean to be a troll but that is worth repeating.. Go Blues!!!!!!!

That's really cool. I love seeing championship-starved teams finally get one and I hope it happens for St. Louis and for you too. Sounds like a great sports town. Pulling for y'all.

Just watch out in Sept/Oct for Yelich!
Thank you!

True, not over yet. I’ve seen the Blues blow some good leads in the past many times so we shall see.
 

"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.
