I'd switch your squats over to hack squats instead of using the smith machine. Even if your gym doesn't have a power rack, if you can find a space to fit a barbell with weights then you can hack squat/deadlift your way to size.
"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.

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
blew my shoulder out and haven't been to the gym in months. I'm gonna get a 3 month membership at the end of the month and make that last push for the summer season. Same routine but I have to substitute overhead presses for something. My shoulder cannot take it thanks to overexertion in my younger years trying to serve like Sampras
