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.
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.

Nor would he need to have been but he never got over 15lbs above contest weight and was in pretty good aerobic condition.Originally posted by bigforearms
If you've been physically active, you can get into HIIT. In fact, if you want to be good at football, basketball, etc., you should already be doing it.
27 year old bodybuilders aren't exactly the pinnacle of cardio-vascular athletes.
Even more reason not to rush into HIIT.Originally posted by heteropedro
Im over weight hows that.
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
WRONG... I was over 200 pounds as a 14 year old (not sure how far over, but I was 235 when I started accutane and like 205 when I got off it, if I remember right), and weighed 265 as a 15 year old. I am now 225 and my baseball pants from 8th grade don't fit anymore because they are WAY too loose.Originally posted by OddTech
But on another note, you're 14. At your age, your metabolism should be high enough to keep you thin.

Dude, you're probably an exception then. When you were 14, how many overweight kids did you remember seeing? Not too many I presume. Most of the kids were waffle thin. Heck, everyone is running around, doing P.E., playing sports, whatnot. I must say that with the obesity epidemic nowadays, thin teenagers may be much rarer now.Originally posted by DJ IronGirevik
