"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Sometime in early March, while the board was still down, I discovered that going on a daily morning 3 1/2 mile run leaves me with a TON of energy for the rest of the day, no matter how little sleep I got, which leads to increased efficiency in everyday activities. For example, I work at an oil change garage, and I've gone from the bosses breathing down my neck for being too slow, to me breathing down THEIR necks for being too slow!

Seems that my libido has skyrocketed too, and of course I've dropped some fat. I have other ways of dropping more fat, but this happens to be one of the most fun, especially if you have an iPod or a portable FM radio.
 

"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.

I have noticed the same thing myself in the past 6 months. Best way i can describe it is that its like your on a steady caffiene high for the majority of the day.

Some other effects: More restful sleep which comes easier (it used to take me 2+ hours lying on my back to pass-out) and i get VERY restless if i go 2 or more days without doing a run.

Yup. I like to do this in addition to regular cardio if I missed out on a lot of sleep, and have a test or something that day.

I've noticed similar effects, too. I woke up early (too early) on Sunday the 12th, was tired as hell, so I went running. I was wide awake for the rest of the day.

and ditto on the libido, haha.

u re tired because u re probably overweight and not used to physical exercises. try to take vitamins and when u get so tired u can not run just walk briskly.

yeh thanks for the advice.

I'm not really overweight that much, but i wanna cut for a bit and get fit.

I am unfit tho, that's prob my problem. The running makes me feel good in an acheivement sense, but not yet in an energy sense yet.
 

"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.
