"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.

"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 won't deny that Wade is a solid star in the the league, but its absolutely RI-FUKIN-DICULOUS that he gets 25, 25 freaking free-throws in one game. Without Wade the Finals would surely be over, but until he stops getting so much help from the refs I'll never consider him an elite player.

He gets "help" from the refs because he takes it to the rim. WHen you take it to the rim, the chances of getting sent to the line sky rocket. You play hard, you get rewarded. He doesn't settle for jumpshots often, and is quick to the hoop. It's hard to defend that, and players end up bumping him, making contact, or whatever, and sent him to the line

Right, that's why he set a new NBA record for free throws in the finals and the Heat had about 3x as many free throw attemps as the Mavs. That, and because the Mavs never drive to the rim :rolleyes:

And lets not forget what the Heat won the game with. Two free throws from Wade.

Hopefully... I'm hoping that now that he can't run like he use to, that causes him to work on an arm that was second in the league behind Manning's record setting 49? in 2004-05. I also hope he's not the 05-06 Culpepper. Should be interesting. Maybe even Harrington resurrecting his career if Culpepper can't step in week 1 vs... get this, Ben Roethlisbeger's team.

You guys have an awesome defense though. Do you still have Zach Thomas?

To be fair, Wayne made some nice shots, and on the flip side of that, the calling was kinda iffy, especially that last drive to the net. I think Miami might have a hard time in Dallas though, as the series has shown.
 

"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.

MY reality
The Heat are ALWAYS at the foul line. That's pretty much how they win all their games. By the 3rd quarter, the opposing team is usually in penalty because of Shaq, so Wade will just start driving to the hoop. They can't really double team Wade, or else Shaq will be open under the hoop for the alley-oop slam. Or else, Walker or Posey will be wide open for the 3. So in the attempt to stop Wade 1-on-1, he's inevitably going to get fouled. Wade is amazing at the FT line, and that's how the Heat win.

It seems kind of cheap, but that's how they've won every game in these playoffs. If they can't get to the FT line enough, they lose. The only real way to beat them is to hope that Shaq gets into foul trouble, or that Wade has an off day.

Kind of cheap? It's smart basketball. If they don't fould him, he'll make the shot. If they do, he'll go to the line. Its smart on behalf of Wade.

If you watched the replays, half the time he went to the line there was no contact. The announcers were even joking about it. It was pathetic.

What position do you play?

D-Wade is unstoppable. I wish people would quit like there's a conspiracy to get him to the line. With the way he throws his body around, it almost always LOOKS like somebody's fouling him, and that's all that counts in sports.

Is there any particular reason why ESPN, ABC etc. keep comparing him to Michael Jordan?

It's getting kind of annoying.....he's not bad but he's NOT MJ.

A DJ? He sounded like a person that was concerned about what other's thought. Dennis Rodman was a REAL DJ.

He is good. But people will forget about him (like they did with Vince Carter and several others).

He draws the foul like Jordan did, and he's always "manning" up and taking the ball to the rim. The stupid MAVS like the PISTONS play too passive, and often fall in love with the jump shot when they should drive to the hole and draw contact.

"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.

Dallas goes 50 FTs in a game vs. San Antonio in the playoffs. Miami goes 49 FTs in an overtime game, and you guys want to ***** about Miami getting calls. STFU.
