"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.

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.

"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.

And what set/rep range did you use/are you using for the deadlifts?

5x5 like the Stronglifts program, or 3x8?

Also, should I train on deadlifts every single session (I do 3 sessions a week), or is this more detrimental than it is good?

Deadlift once a week, go heavyI haven't tried those methods so I can't vouch on them but I just hit it as hard and heavy as I could.

SIstarted on singles and raised the weight every rep. then went for doubles and then triples. Now I just hit it to failure raise the weight and hit it again.

took me a year to hit double my bodyweight. It escalated quickly but then plateaud and took hella effort to move heavier :)
