"The Kiss of Death Mistake"
You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?
Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.
One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.
Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

"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.

Mike Bibby just got traded! 
"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.

i am me said:
Well the Maloof brothers I think are just trying to start over. They unloaded our most expensive player and picked up 4 guys for less money, three of which have expiring contracts at the end of the season. We're not making the playoffs, I'm guessing they're just trying to free up some cap space to sign some big free agents in the offseason. I think they're basically just gonna try and start from scratch. Eh, smart move in my opinion. I love Mike Bibby, but I think it was time to figure out a new strategy. We got some young up and coming guys in Ben Udrihu? and John Salmons to replace Bibby anyways.
u guys got young talent...but not so much that it scares anyone else in the league. i would think that u coulda got rid of mike bibby for at least one quality or potentially quality guy but iono...nbas been goin about in mysterious ways...

^ One of the most underrated players in the league for a lot of years. There should be a criminal investigation as to why he never made an all star game...but other than that, I think it was a wise move by the Kings. It just wasn't working...time to start over.
