"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.

Judging from these new Nike shoe model. Tennis was going to be more extroverted than most years. Wimbledon they would be dawning blue for the small grass tournaments. French open would have been orange and grey from what these shoes look like. Racquets remained the same except for some of the ascics shoes. Any predictions for tennis this year? I pick Nadal for French open and wimbledon.
 

"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.

Tennis shoes and clothes have been pretty colorful for awhile now, except for Wimbledon of course, which keeps the all whites. Those don't look any louder to me, they've just got that confetti effect. I wouldn't pick against Nadal at the French if he was in a wheelchair. Not so sure about Wimbledon though. I'd like to see some new players come up. The Big Three is kind of played out for me. Are they even having any of these events?

Yes French is set to september 28th I think. Strange time of the year for that tournament. Almost makes me want to buy a ticket and go. I honestly thought Kyle edmund would breakout by now. Might have to be some of the younger players zverev etc

I know they've moved the big golf tournaments to later in the year too. If things are back to normal by then - a very big if - and they have football, this fall is going to be a great time for sports.

What did you think of the idea for basketball where they would just start from the playoffs. Incentive for lebron
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

I have no problem with it, if that's what they want to do. There have been shortened seasons before.
