Anybody care? For what it's worth I'm a Knicks fan.:rockon:
"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.

"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.
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.
"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
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.
