"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.

Hi, I read that if you want to bulk and cut, you should do it in phases instead of at the same time. I'm about average weight, but I'd like to bulk up my arms, but get a thinner stomach area and lower body fat in general. So my question is, does it matter if I bulk first and then cut, or cut first and then bulk?

If you're just starting, both can be done at the same time with enormous success.

you can bulk then cut, then cut again then bulk, bulk some more, cut cut cut, bulkity bulkity bulkity doo, bulk cut cut bulk culk but bulker cutter culker butter... put your body through all those stupid cycles and take three steps forward and 2.5 steps backwards every time.

Or you can just train like an animal, eat like you're already 20lbs heavier than you're already are, make like a cardio bunny 5-6xa week, and time your carbs, drink green/white tea, stay active.. basically become a human blast furnace which with just a few diet tweaks can get you losing bodyfat while you're growing.

the health benefits are numerous - go to google and you'll find a whole wealth of information. there's so many reasons to drink the stuff (or take the pills).

for body composition and training, it's a natural stimulant and a thermogenic, green tea extract is included in a lot of fat burners. white tea is a more potent version of green tea but it's also twice the price.
 

"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.
