Gibdon on Wade dunk was disgusting!!
"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.
Miami vs Dallas?

"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.

The Bulls defense is absolutely relentless.

Chicago was really impressive today and their bench holy ****....
The Chicago's coach is the guy who won the championship with the Celtics back then in 2008, he is a defense Engineer specialist.

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

eating my words
no doubt the bulls stepped their game up huge, I was not expecting them to bring this amount of intensity. I still think Miami wins, but my sweep predictions was obviously wrong. Still think Rose is overrated, but gotta admit bulls looked great last night and I was WAY WRONG.

hopefully Miami wins
Well, that was easily the worst I have ever seen Rose. That whole game was pathetic. Silver lining for me is the fact that I haven't seen the Bulls play that horribly all season, and they were in it until the end. That was just bad basketball all around...

it was the greatest feeling in the world when the Mavericks killed the Lakers by 36 points
"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

did you get some inside information on this finals match up? ha! funny how you predicted it. it was the Bears, the Blackhawks, now the Bulls. dont think they are too happy in chi town tonight
It's been a rough couple months lol... But every one of those organizations is moving in the right direction. Plus, the Blackhawks won last year and had a major overhaul of their roster. So, that was expected.Fred_Scuttle said:
I would prefer seeing all of the Chicago teams making playoff runs, than how it was just a few years ago. Just stings a little more this way...
Chicago is a very young team and they're only going to get better. They're also about a piece away from winning a championship. I used to be a huge LeBron James fan back in his days with the Cleveland Cavaliers, but now I just can't stand that man. I began losing respect for him when he gave up on his team in the playoffs and lost even more respect for him the second he decided he had to join forces with Dwayne Wade in order to win a championship. I'm looking forward to see the Dallas Mavericks kick the hell out of the Miami Heat. Nowitzki is unstoppable and getting his ring this year.
Rose is inexperienced. NOT overrated. He proved he can carry a team on his back and at least to the conference finals. He was being guarded by two or three different guys (one being the BEST player in the league) with more size and reach and still managed to play decently.nmartinez12443 said:

Bulls
Well I dont want to gloat but I was right. As for the bulls, they won't win without getting a great sf/sg as of now I can think OF none that are wanting to be traded. One could say they could get westbrook and make him and 2 guard, but nah. I think the bulls will be good and a playoff team yearly, but they don't need a pg or c/pf (howard). The team that I close to being dominant is the Knicks and of course the Heat for years to come. Knicks need a big man (MARC GASOL) and a couple more role players and they should be great.

"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.
