"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

The commissioner is in great danger of losing his job if this is true. Why in the hell would he go on national tv and say no one in the NFL "to his knowledge" saw the tape before Monday? Either he's a liar or highly incompetent. With the sort of press that exists today, Goodell has to know that you cant simply hide these kinda things too easily.

Many people will talk to the press for the right price. If its true the NFL had this tape months ago, why lie about it and why give Ray Rice such a light punishment to begin with?

Oh boy, this isnt going away for a while.

"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.

Why the HELL is this more important to anyone than him covering up cheating from Spygate? Is he a football commissioner or a corrupt judge? I don't care about Ray Rice and his personal relationships with women who don't care if they're beaten by him or how the NFL now doubles as some sort of extra-judiciary system. I care about football, and the cheating aspect is 1000x more important because the guy is a football employee not a politician, judge, or district attorney.

Everyone: it's okay he burned evidence against the patriots.

Everyone 6 years later: omg this guy ignored evidence.


UM no sh1t. You didn't care before, and he already had a history of similar. You also didn't care when Roethlisberger was suspended 6 games without even being arrested or charged for anything. Why does suddenly everyone care now?

I don't get all this flap over the video tape. There was never any question that he punched her and knocked her out. He was punished (too lightly, most said). After the criticism, the league toughened its policy.

Then the video came out, and the Ravens were like "Omigosh, he hit her", and let him go. How is this anything we didn't know before? Now they're going after the commisioner and the Ravens team. What is up with people's perceptions? They were told before that he decked her, but now that they see it, suddenly it sinks in. Like they didn't know what the words meant. I don't get it.
