"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

The biggest increase I noticed was my shoulder press... it took me a couple of months to increase from 50x8 to 70x8, but I jumped up to 95x8 after switching to my new routine. That's not to say that muscles just suddenly popped up. They had been there, I just had never given them the opportunity to fully regenerate in between workouts.

What works for one person won't work for another. Combination of lots of things: genetics, diet, athletic history. From what I read, I'd recommend more rest in between workouts.
That's pretty much exactly the answer I was looking for. Thanks a lot for your reply. I guess I did just have a "strength spurt" then, if you want to call it that. I'm currently up to 220 twice.
 

"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.
