- Is it code share (you have an AA flight number)? - spamlet Mar 10, 14:23 5
  - I just don't want to book the AA flight #. The AA flight costs more (even though it's the same flight). - Mop Mar 10, 14:39 4

- Why wouldn't he be? Shanahans have always loved to run the ball. -- nm - David Mar 10, 14:09 4
  - Because you had the one of the worst defenses in the league last year? and one of the worst OL? -- nm - Strongbad Mar 10, 14:12 3
    - And a metric ton of cap space and a new blocking scheme that is a perfect fit for north/south runners. - David Mar 10, 14:15 2

- You have a Patriots jersey? Huh. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 10, 14:01 5
  - *idea bulb* -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 10, 14:11 3
    - Do not send me your jersey. - Krusty Mar 10, 14:13 2
      - you'll see... -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 10, 14:21 1
        
        Great, now I'm worried. -- nm - Krusty Mar 10, 14:23
  - Never! :-) -- nm - Krusty Mar 10, 14:09

  - Ha! You got it. -- nm - Krusty Mar 10, 14:08
If those Revis numbers from B2 are real...I'll pack his bags personally. - Mel Profit Mar 10, 13:58 4
- And with those numbers he could hire you to pack him and drive him down. -- nm - iSpam Mar 10, 14:09 1
  - yes, yes he could. -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 10, 14:10
- Yeah, that's a case of "I got my ring, I'm set that way....now pay me." -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 10, 13:59 1
  - it's the cold blood, ruthless and absolutely correct play. - Mel Profit Mar 10, 14:01
Here's something I didn't know. A+ (aplus.com) is a social media blog-type site (similar to HuffPo or Buzzfeed, I suppose) started by Ashton Kutcher. -- nm - Mop Mar 10, 13:54

Mop do you have ESPN anlysts running in your head doing the play by play? -- nm - Remlik Mar 10, 13:42 9
- The cacophony in my head would deafen most people. -- nm - Mop Mar 10, 14:06 2
  - tip #2, do not use the word 'cacophony' when striking up conversations with women. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 10, 14:27 1
    - depends on the kind of woman he's after. personally, I like people who use language well, as long as it's with good intent and not pretentious. - b. Mar 10, 14:34
- cause I generally have a voice in my head yelling at me when I eff it up with a woman -- nm - Remlik Mar 10, 13:48

Torrey Smith to the 49ers -- nm - JaxSean Mar 10, 13:42 1
- link -- (link) - JaxSean Mar 10, 13:42
Mop needs to just like, work on striking up conversations with women he has no interest in. - groiny Mar 10, 13:41 49
- Here's a few things to consider. - Mop Mar 10, 14:03 24
  - Read this book -- (link) - con_carne Mar 10, 14:16 2
    - Right. "Read this book" is totally a compelling case. -- nm - Mop Mar 10, 14:39 1
      - I read it and I recommend it. I have issues similar to yours -- nm - con_carne Mar 10, 14:42
  - couple retorts..... - groiny Mar 10, 14:09 6
    - Rejection is the normal state of things for any successful person, in dating or other facets of life -- nm - con_carne Mar 10, 14:20 5
      - "I miss 100% of the shots I don't take" -Michael Jordan -- nm - Loyola Mar 10, 14:26 4
        
        ultimately, if you strike out 25 times, and hit a homer on time 26, who cares about the 25? -- nm - groiny Mar 10, 14:28 3
        
        not adam dunn, that's for sure -- nm - dogbert Mar 10, 14:29 2
        
        shush you, I am trying to help the man! -- nm - groiny Mar 10, 14:30 1
        
        you still can, just point out how big his paycheck was even though he didn't care -- nm - dogbert Mar 10, 14:37
  - it's trite but true: if you keep on doing what you've always done, you will keep on getting what you've always gotten. - b. Mar 10, 14:06 1
    - I should add that if you're ok with things as is, there's nothing wrong with that; but it doesn't seem like you are. - b. Mar 10, 14:18
  - If that's the way you feel....that's fine....but ya know what isn't happening here? - Will Hunting Mar 10, 14:06 11
    - Creepy old man. Creepy old man. Creepy old man. - Mop Mar 10, 14:12 10
      - if you are talking to women nearish your own age, this is not a factor. -- nm - Andie Mar 10, 14:30 2
        
        I agree with groiny, this is the wrong way to think about it. If she's over 18, then what is the problem really? - con_carne Mar 10, 15:06
        
        good point! -- nm - b. Mar 10, 14:35
      - and really, as long as they can get into a bar legally, age is a non factor. -- nm - groiny Mar 10, 14:22
      - and that is ok (the IM), but when someone specifically makes eye contact and smiles at you..... - groiny Mar 10, 14:20 4
        
        Yeah, they initiated...try to get out of the way, hell, you might end up with a great story. - Will Hunting Mar 10, 14:22 3
        
        really, this was my favorite part about being single, I loved the chase. - groiny Mar 10, 14:24 2
        
        I'm 100% shy, I'm terrible at this stuff...but the thought paralysis is just hell - Will Hunting Mar 10, 14:32
        
        granted, I was 25 and not 45 at the time, but I can't think it makes all that much difference. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 10, 14:25
      - You need to get in control of your inner monologue. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 10, 14:18
- Women I have no interest in don't make me nervous and insecure. With them, I'm fantastic. -- nm - Mop Mar 10, 13:44 23
  - How about something more radical then? Make a decision not to date for a month(?(pick an amount any amount)). - tobor.2 Mar 10, 14:37 5
    - I've made a decision to not date for a year-and-a-half. Or, rather, the decision was made for me. -- nm - Mop Mar 10, 14:51 4
      - ???? -- nm - groiny Mar 10, 14:55 3
        
        This is like watching a bear at a circus...chained, unhappy, unwilling to escape. -- nm - Loyola Mar 10, 15:01
        
        I'm saying that deciding whether to date or not to date really isn't my decision to make. -- nm - Mop Mar 10, 14:59 1
        
        I mean you make the decision. Take it off the table for awhile. - tobor.2 Mar 10, 15:14
  - oic. in that case, can you maybe work on not thinking of them as potential partners to start with? - b. Mar 10, 13:48 3
    - yeah, at the end of the day, it is just a date. - groiny Mar 10, 13:52 2
      - not even a date, just interacting with a subset of females. -- nm - b. Mar 10, 14:03 1
        
        true, the end result, if good, is a date, if bad, it means you have to try again in another pond. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 10, 14:11
  - your are putting the good looking ones way up on a mountain and then you have to climb up there to get to them. - groiny Mar 10, 13:47
  - that is exactly your issue then, they are people just like you, why be nervous? - groiny Mar 10, 13:45 11
    - Oh man, I've made that mistake in the past and it held me back. I would think of women as potential dates first and as people second - con_carne Mar 10, 13:52 5
      - [deleted] 3
        
        Now I know how hard Marty had to work it to get his dad to ask out Lorraine. -- nm - CQ Mar 10, 14:06 1
        
        *laughing* -- nm - kelly Mar 10, 14:08
        
        unlike High School, he can go to a strip club and get lucky for 20 bucks. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 10, 14:00
      - I will share a story about this mindset..... - groiny Mar 10, 13:56
    - I think he needs to say to himself; "Is there a point to being nervous. Will I achieve anything by being nervous here?" - Loyola Mar 10, 13:49 3
      - the IM is totally a valid comparison. You can't succeed in pressure situations when you are shitting yourself. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 10, 13:50 2
        
        Unless it's running away from a wild animal....might make him slip and slide and be unable to eat you. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 10, 14:00
        
        Exactly. It's ok to be nervous. But conquer it. If you strike out with the girl, you strike out. - Loyola Mar 10, 13:54
    - maybe their vaginas charge 10% interest. -- nm - Beaker Mar 10, 13:47
Sanchez and a 1st to the Titans for the #2 pick. Eagles will get Mariota. -- nm - Volnelk Mar 10, 13:38 3
- Sorry. Apparently fake. Twitter is losing its mind. -- nm - Volnelk Mar 10, 13:39
- that is an amazing trade for the Eagles -- nm - Beaker Mar 10, 13:39 1
  - (especially given what the Rams got for RG3) -- nm - Beaker Mar 10, 13:39
