"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.

Hella DJs,

I'm starting Starting Strength soon. :woo:

But I can't start until June 22, because of exams (le sigh). So in the meantime, have you guys got any good suggestions on what to do? Equipment at home is very minimal, I've got my body, some 3kg dumbells from a few months back, and a treadmill.

Since I'm doing Starting Strengh, my obvious goals are strength, power, and mass. But someways down the road, in half a year or so when my fitness is a lot better, I'd like to take Parkour/free-running and dance. As such, cardiovascular endurance is important to me too.

Full-on workouts, individual exercises, or just about any suggestion are welcome. :D

Cheers,

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Push-ups are good. If you're able to find a bar to use, pull-ups and chin-ups are also very good. I'd just begin conditioning with these now, plus ample cardio before you get into a gym and do some heavier lifting.

Just cause you dont have the weights doesn't mean you cant prepare.

It's recommended that you spend 3 weeks with light weights, practicing form. Spend time at home practicing form. Benching light weights, squatting bodyweight.

You can also do pushups and situps. Try to reach failure within 15 reps, any number of sets. Chinups, pullups etc.

Also you can start eating more and get comfortable with eating different.
