good to see you still going strong
keep it up

"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.

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
Thanks, Quiksilver. I will keep pressing on until I get close to these numbers.

I have, but since my legs were so weak (chicken legs before), I never got a good leg routine in. Started 5x5 to force myself to do legs everyday. The workout is getting so stressful leg wise, that I can't do it 3x a week anymore as my legs and back can't handle it.

Bent over barbell rows
175lbsx5x5 (messed up the weight again and went over 5lbs)

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
ugh....messed up my workout again. I've been messing up my weights and forgetting what i lifted previously....I failed in one of my lifts because I increased by 10lbs instead of 5lbs.

This is probably my last day of 5x5....I'll take a break and go back to my regular workout as the squats are getting too heavy for me and straining my back way too much. This has however built a good foundation for my weak a$$ legs.

Switching up the routine now. I've noticed my body is accustomed to lifting 5 reps so when i try to go for 10, my muscles tighten up quickly, even for light weights.

All right brother, you are getting there...just to give you an idea of what you are capable of at your weight, when I weight 188 lbs about 2 years ago, I had a big 3 of 1,420 lbs...380 lb bench press, 475 lb squat, 565 lb deadlift.

"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.
Been constantly working out/hitting the gym.
Been doing this workout 3x a week just to motivate a friend to workout for 3 months. Each week, I add 1 rep to each exercise.
Started with this over 2 months ago.
5x6 burpees
5x6 jump squats
5x6 pushups
Currently at the below, 3x a week with 3 weeks left.
5x15 burpees
5x15 jump squats
5x15 pushups
Still squating 225 and benching 225 just to maintain strength while doing this workout. My legs are exhausted from all the jumping by EOW.

"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
