Dating Rules: The Super Bowl Edition

I like football and I love love, but let’s be real: The Super Bowl isn’t won on "vibes," and neither is your life.
Football has a scoreboard; your dating life has a group chat full of excuses. It’s time to stop manifesting and start coaching.
End the "Preseason" Era. If you’ve been "just seeing what’s out there" since 2019, that’s not practice—it’s avoidance. Put on a jersey or get off the field.
Draft for the Season, Not the Highlights. Profiles are highlight reels; marriage is a 17-game grind. Pick the person with stamina, not just a good camera angle.
No Schedule, No Offense. If they can’t pick a time and a place, they have no playbook. That’s just a lot of chatter for zero yards gained.
First Downs Aren’t Touchdowns. A "good morning" text is a first down. A great first date? Still a first down. Stop throwing a parade for the bare minimum.
The Red Zone Reveals Character. When things get close to the goal line (exclusivity, labels, "the talk"), people show their true colors. Some drive it home; others fumble and suddenly "get busy." That’s data.
Penalties Aren't "Quirks." Ghosting and mixed signals aren't "mysterious"—they’re flags on the play. Stop arguing with the refs and just move the chains.
Your Friends Are the Instant Replay. They see the foot out of bounds while you’re blinded by the stadium lights. If the booth says "he’s not that into you," trust the footage.
Halftime Adjustments Are Sexy. If you’re 0-8, pivot. New photos, tighter boundaries, fewer pen pals, more actual dates. Stubborn players just keep losing.
Ignore the Crowd Noise. Big talk and heavy flirting is just noise. The only thing that moves the scoreboard is a kept promise.
Championship Love is "Boring." Real romance isn't a heart-stopping Hail Mary; it’s steady effort on a random Tuesday. It’s not a holiday—it’s the whole season.
