Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single

She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.

You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.

The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

NBA Draft

"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.

Lakers fan here. The reason I care this year is because the Lakers are trying to trade for the number two pick. They also have 4 second round picks. I'm kinda thinking the Lakers and Wolves wont be able to agree on a trade in time for the draft tomorrow. I heard Igoudala for Odom is a possibility though...

Bulls fan here. I'm interested, as always. Curious to see how the Bulls address their need for a 2 Guard. There are some decent ones out there, and the Bulls have 2 late first round picks (28 & 30). I would like to see them trade up a bit, but so far I have heard nothing along those lines.

I think the Bulls need to get a good centre before they worry about a second guard. Noah can rebound, but other than that the guy really struggles.

Bulls fan here too, so power to you PDubb!

Well, I agree they could use help at Center, but I see SG being a much bigger weakness for this team. These playoffs made the obvious stand out even more. Rose needs scoring help. It was almost painful watching Rose trying to take over at the end of the Miami series, when it was obvious he was completely worn down. It made him look like he regressed 4 years, simply because of the fatigue.

If my memory is correct, the Bulls were near the top of the league in Inside Scoring, Rebounds, Blocks. So, while a big man that can score would be a boost, that isn't a glaring weakness. Noah's hustle and determination balances out some of his deficiencies.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Agree on Noah, he does try hard, although I still think it is a big weakness of Chicago.

As far as scorers, I think it is high time Deng and Boozer step up. Deng is always there or there abouts, but he has more talent than he displays and Boozer just disappears some games. In those Miami games, it was indeed painful to watch Rose have to do it all, but even when he drew extra defensive attention, Boozer and Deng et al just wouldn't take the shots and instead turn around and look for Rose again. These guys have to get confidence in themselves and take more shots, big shots too. They have the points in them.
