"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.

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Carb cycle. Cut out white carbs get all your simple carbs from fruits. Eat complex carbs instead in moderation. Eat a healthy amount of complex carbs for 3-4 days then completely cut carbs out for 1 day. Continue this cycle through out the week. Eat 5-7 small meals a day, high protein, high good fats, try to eat your complex carbs in the morning and directly post work out. The point is to never stabilize always keep the body guessing and in a constant state out of equilibrium. The human body was programmed to go into starvation mode at the slightest sign of starvation, if you starve yourself your body will lower your metabolism.

"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.
Does this do the same thing or am I just looking like an idiot?

I am trying to lose body fat as well. I'd like to trim 5-10 lbs without losing muscle mass. Cutting red meat, increasing vegetable intake, and eating healthier while working out isn't producing the results I want. I may take up interval training (running / eliptical) and see if I can keep it up this time.

This type of thinking is the same as "I don't want to work out too much or I'll look like the hulk." Interval training will not make you look like a skinny marathon runner. It will take weeks of solid conditioning and dedication to see results. Once you start to shed body fat lower the intensity and amount of your interval training to get the desired results. Follow my carb cycling diet that I laid out above with the interval training and get back to me in a few weeks. Carb cycling will retain your muscle mass, interval training will burn excess calories. Shoot for 40% carbs / 40% Protein / 20% GOOD mono/polyunsaturated fats.PeeGee said:
"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 true but the body will eventually plateau and pick up on the deficit and correct your metabolism accordingly.JohnnyIrish said:Or cut like 250-500 calories/day under maintenance. This is even easier as no work is involved (well other then some math).
