"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.

Fractured My Thumb

So I managed this annoying little thing the other day playing football (soccer to you Americans), now I've been going gym for the past 6 months, haven't actually put on any weight, but am much stronger than I was when I first started, and am much more toned as well.

Basically the only question I have is if you guys know of any ways I can keep the muscle I have gained without going to the gym, or exercising my body? I'm pretty much useless until the cast comes off at the very least, if not until it's healed completely. I mean I can't even do a press-up because of the way my thumb is placed in the cast, and pull-ups are difficult too as I cannot grasp the bar quite right with my left hand.

Any insight would be appreciated.

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for 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.

Not sure if your goal is weight gain or not....if it is.....remember, its about energy in vs energy used. Eat more and youll put on pounds.

How long is it on for? I cant imagine a cast being on very long for a thumb. If its only 3-4 weeks id go and lift legs and do single arm exercises. Never do nothing.

Yea I aim to put on a bit of weight, not much, but some. As a student though I can't really afford to spend loads on food, so I'm just trying to get a healthy dose of calories in, I can't quite justify paying for excess calories yet until I get a job (which I have managed to get, but can't start until the cast comes off haha)

The doctors aren't sure yet, they still haven't been able to accurately locate the fracture through the x-ray due to the amount of swelling in my hand apparently. I have a check-up on Thursday plus an x-ray where they hope they'll get a definitive answer. Cast is probably another couple weeks at least.
I wasn't planning on doing nothing. As I'm out of playing football for a bit, it may have to be legs. Single arm exercises might be a bit difficult on my left as I literally can't grasp anything in my hand, but I'll give it a go, if nothing else I can always cardio.
