"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.

FIFA WORLD CUP - Official thread!

"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.

Where I be at
Man...someone else musta saw the Ecuador game. they were looking hella clean. Their possession football was on point. That game woulda been a blow out but they had so much lost possession in the attacking third after stringing 5+ great passes. Other than that it was great one touch football that reminded me of the brazillians, and many breathtaking defense stops. I can see them causing quite a ruckus in the tourney.

Oh and Lahm's goal didnt hold a flame to the rocket of a shot that Fring put in... You could see him teeing it up and went to hit the ball in the sweet spot but i thought it would just be deflected or misfired as usual

I saw the Ecuador game. I am from and living in ecuador right now. It was a beautiful game. your comments are good. I hope brazil loses though. I am sick of them winning almost every year. It is time for a new champ(Ecuador, just kidding).

Yeah, DAMN, what strikes by Lahm and Frings!

What an opening game to the tournament!

Ecuador looked good, Id rather seem a more flamboyant team such as Ecuador go through in preference to a systematical Poland! Ecuador looked good in qualifying, hopefully they can hold their form throughout the tournament! Would be good to see them go far!

England V Paraguay in several hours, doubt Paraguay can win, but I can see them holding out a draw. And I think its Argentina V Ivory Coast, that should produce some exciting football!
 

"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.

Well I just made a few bets, Owen to be the first goalscorer against Paraguay. A 2-0 England win, and a win later on for Argentina over Ivory Coast by 2-1 (I expect Drogba to get a goal for the IC).

Ha ha, hopefully I get at least one of the bets up!
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

well I gotta say, on England's showing today, had they been playing a better team they'd've got slaughtered.

liked the look of Germany though. Costa Rica aren't a bad side at all.

Well picked the Argentina V Ivory coast result, but missed the England one! Damn, IC are pretty good, they deserved a draw against Argentina! Drogba is the man! Looks so dangerous, both on the ground and in the air!

IC plays a fast, entertaining game of football!

Netherlands to beat Serbia and Montenegro tonight, will be interesting to see how their D can shut down Robben and Ruud.

Portugal is soon to play.

How in the world is Ricardo Quaresma NOT on the Portugal team in WC 2006?

:eek:
I know. But I'll trust our coach. He proved he was worthy... Let's see.

Holland - Serbia & Montenegro

1-0

Van der Sar and Robben played a great match.
The defense isn't that solid though. Ruud didn't do that well either. But we had a lot of ball possesion and won even with a German guy as referee :p

Holland's gonna win this one!!
 

"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.
