I have an anxiety disorder, however i like to drinl coffee in the morning. I know you guys are not doctors, but i know Caffeine is a stimulant. I was wondering if i should stay away from caffeine completely. Thanks
"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.

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

I always love it how dudes with medical conditions come on these boards asking us for what amounts to medical advice.
If you're on medication for this condition, WHY THE FUKK ARE YOU ASKING US?? You'd be an idiot to follow what any of us have to say, last I checked there are no MDs that regularly post on this forum.
GO ASK YOUR DOCTOR.

No ****...I know most of you guys are not M.D's, but maybe some of you are health freaks and would no some pointers.

For some reason, caffeine relaxes me. Of course physically I'm stimulated, but mentally I'm very relaxed when I take it.

Just avoid caffiene as much as possible. It has no nutritional value whatsoever.
It actually blocks the effects of serotonin and melatonin causing restless sleep and iritability.

"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.

Caffiene blocks serotonin...really? i have never heard that one. I also heard pasta helps with serotonin...is this true?Originally posted by Monkey:

It has to do with the carbs, not the pasta.Originally posted by mahon83050:

Instead of drinking coffee, start drinking Green tea. Green tea contains a relaxing amino acid called L-theanine. Do a search
if you want to know more. I just picked up some L-theanine in pill form. Going to try it right now. Ill post if i feel any difference...
