"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.

Me: 23, 5"10, 165lbs, around 17% bf. Used to go to the gym, now been out of shape for the last year. I got the whole diet thing down, but a few pointers would be good too.
Goals: increase stamina, lose fat

I'm planning on running at 5am, 5 days a week, 30 minutes every session (increase by 5 minutes every week). I'll be running in the street, so I can't know exactly how fast I'm running but probably have a good estimate. Also, I'll be keeping a log.

Does anyone know any good sites? recommendations? suggestions? personal experience?

"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.

Get started on cardio. Jogging running.. etc. Once you have some endurance and your body is used to the stress, and you shed off some of that 17% fat you can hit the weights.

First you have to do some cleanup.

Question: since I'm starting in the morning, would it be a good idea to start running on an empty stomach and then eating after I'm done?

I can't afford protein shakes in the time being (just for the record)

You don't need protein shakes to lose weight. Just eat protein based foods, lots of fats, some carbs, and stay away from sweets and sugars. Those you must control. No soda or any of that crap.

Mix this up with some exercise and you will feel like a million dollars in a couple of weeks. Although at the beginning you will feel like crap because you are not used to it.

Running in the morning before breakfast is not a problem, might gear you up for the rest of the day. Don't skip breakfast though! If you ever want to skip a meal make it dinner. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.
 

"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.

Lots of fats? like what? I thought I was supposed to avoid fat for the most part
