"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

last saturday i had a tremendous diarrhea and it lasted until a couple of days ago (though it became less and less powerful). this morning, i weighed my self and i noticed i had lost almost 10 pounds:( can this be related to diarrhea? i've been eating less than usual these days, since i was on a trip to another city, but i don't think that eating a bit less than normal (i have never been hungry, i just didn't overeat) can make you lose 10 pounds...

i don't think so, since i haven't been on creatine for the last 2 months...

anyway, i noticed my arms haven't become smaller, just my pecs look a lil bit less bulky, but nothing to worry... dunno what has happened, i have also noticed that my bodyfat has dropped down to 9% (i used to be around 10.5%)

"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.

The diarrhea caused you to expel litres upon litres of water. It is not unusual for someone to lose 10 pounds after a long bout of diarrhea.

No offense but you had better learn a bit more about body chemistry. Not understanding this type of thing can really hurt you if you are do intense training and/or use supplements.

Doesn't creatine add more water to your muscles to make them larger too? Either way, you lost water weight.

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

The body needs much more water than that.
