"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.

Yeah, Wright V BHOP would be a snoozefest, but definately real interesting to watch the chess match unfold!

Rematch with Vargas, na, that was not Wright at his prime, a prime Wright would beat this version of Vargas relatively easily IMHO. Vargas is shot now, and at middle, doesnt look quiet as strong or as powerful as he did at junior middle.

Fenech said he is pretty much just trying to get Tyson to beleive he CAN go the 12 rounds again. Not just loose heart after he doesnt stop his opponent in 4. This is very smart, cause this is all Tyson needs to do to be an animal again, not to mention, Fenechs fighters are always in great condition! He works them very hard in the gym, just like he used to work himself (and as everyone saw, Fenech made his legacy off simply being a punching machine)!!!

UFC, yeah I dont follow that too much. I watch some of the tapes, but just get annoyed with all the grappling and wrestling on the ground. Just not as entertaining IMO, but every man to his own.
 

"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.

so CLOONEY and board do you think we will see a NEW Mike Tyson ? And if so how bad will the baddest man on the planet be ?

And if any of you have got any links with updates about Tyson and Fenech and how the training is progressing i would appreciate if you post them here. i have been trying to find updates but maybe Tyson's camp is keeping it all hush hush or the websites i go to simply suck for boxing news lol.

Lost In Translation :D

Tyson will never get back to his best. His days are over.

I have seen quiet a bit of news on him, cant remember which sites though, it was either secondsout.com or boxingtalk.net

Also check the message boards on boxingtalk.net, there is an entire board just on Mike Tyson. Should find a wealth of info there. I used to be a HUGE Tyson fan, but now I just hate the heavies in general.

Yeah, definately a great fight! Are you from Austraila Jayer? Not many people have seen this fight that I have encountered. Only person I ever knew had this fight was my great grandad, who lived in Australia and followed boxing at the time. A few of the other huge boxing fans I know in the US and Mexico have never seen this fight. Then again, some others of them I have never really talked about it with.

Nelson was a huge huge puncher, Fenech was just a relentless workhorse! Both were great great fighters!
