Anybody care? For what it's worth I'm a Knicks fan.:rockon:
Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single
She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.
You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.
The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

"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.
Lakers fan here. The reason I care this year is because the Lakers are trying to trade for the number two pick. They also have 4 second round picks. I'm kinda thinking the Lakers and Wolves wont be able to agree on a trade in time for the draft tomorrow. I heard Igoudala for Odom is a possibility though...
Bulls fan here. I'm interested, as always. Curious to see how the Bulls address their need for a 2 Guard. There are some decent ones out there, and the Bulls have 2 late first round picks (28 & 30). I would like to see them trade up a bit, but so far I have heard nothing along those lines.
Well, I agree they could use help at Center, but I see SG being a much bigger weakness for this team. These playoffs made the obvious stand out even more. Rose needs scoring help. It was almost painful watching Rose trying to take over at the end of the Miami series, when it was obvious he was completely worn down. It made him look like he regressed 4 years, simply because of the fatigue.Gaucho said:I think the Bulls need to get a good centre before they worry about a second guard. Noah can rebound, but other than that the guy really struggles.
Bulls fan here too, so power to you PDubb!
If my memory is correct, the Bulls were near the top of the league in Inside Scoring, Rebounds, Blocks. So, while a big man that can score would be a boost, that isn't a glaring weakness. Noah's hustle and determination balances out some of his deficiencies.
"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.
Agree on Noah, he does try hard, although I still think it is a big weakness of Chicago.
As far as scorers, I think it is high time Deng and Boozer step up. Deng is always there or there abouts, but he has more talent than he displays and Boozer just disappears some games. In those Miami games, it was indeed painful to watch Rose have to do it all, but even when he drew extra defensive attention, Boozer and Deng et al just wouldn't take the shots and instead turn around and look for Rose again. These guys have to get confidence in themselves and take more shots, big shots too. They have the points in them.
