"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.

Does anyone else have this problem?

When doing flyes on a pec dec machine or bench press with a barbell my hands are absolutely fine, no pain whatsoever. When doing dumbell flyes or dumbell bench press however the ache in my hands is the limiting factor.

The pain in the hands builds up to too much and I have to stop way before the target muscles have reached failure.

I'm right handed and its mainly my left hand that hurts the most.
Have you ever had this issue with dumbells?
Do the hands adapt to the dumbells over time so you can reach failure with the target muscles?
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Make sure you don't have carpal tunnel: http://www.webmd.com/pain-management/carpal-tunnel/physical-exam-for-carpal-tunnel-syndrome

Otherwise, it is probably just inflammation of some sort. "If it hurts, don't do it" sounds like a child's advice, but I have had very respected doctors tell that to me.

I know everyone seems to like weights better, but you might be able to do those exercises with the giant rubber band things by attaching them to a strap on your wrist. That would transfer the weight off your fingers and hand.
