"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.

hey guys. gonna make this short..I don't know a whole lot about training other than some basics but here's my situation. I havent played ice hockey competitively since I was 18. I am 25 now and wanna get back in. Problem is, I am about 15 lbs overweight...Now I've seen alot of stuff on here but it seems mostly geard to "cutting up" and "bulking up". What are some steps to take? I need to regain my stamina, increase muslce strength and flexibility, and improve explosiveness. My upper body and legs really need work. Any suggestions, sites, etc? I searched T-mag but couldn't find anything helpful. And since I still have a few lbs to lose, I wonder if that complicates what I need to do. If you can't help, don't reply to this, if you've ever trained for a sport like this, let me know.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

There are some great books at your library on training for hockey. I would also highly recommend you buy a pair of inline skates and use those for off-ice training.

make sure to get alot of rest. I read that Tampa Bay has the most off days of any team and they are the most fit.

That might be true, but I'm willing to bet that the intensity at which they train on their 'on' days is higher than that of most other teams... nothing in life is cheap.
 

"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.

the reason tampa bay has so many off days is because they don't want dave andreychuk to get a heart attack from overworking, the guy is older then stonehenge.

Didnt Andreychuk retire since he finally won the cup? Not that it really matters I guess, the whole league is "retired" at the moment...
 

"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.
