"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Abs without crunches?

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

This is my recent pic. Like I said, I have not done any abs related workouts. I run, do jump ropes and lift weights. I am frustrated because I can not get beyond this physique. I want a solid 6/8 pack. :D Gastritis seems to take a while to heal. :(
Seems like you're doing fine, going by that pic. To get beyond that is going to take pretty strict dieting.

Arnold used to say not to waste time doing upper abs, and concentrated all his training on lower abs, which was harder to target, but worked the upper abs sufficiently. That said, can you do hanging knee raises? Those are my favorite exercise for lower abs.

Beyond that, maybe do yoga to strengthen you core. Even if you can't do ab work directly, you CANNOT ignore your core, if you do, you WILL get injured eventually.

At minimum, try to suck in your gut throughout the day and maintain good posture. It's harder than it looks.
