"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.

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Go to the Doc and have him check your blood pressure.

I JUST had this same thing happen to me

it was on the leg press. it was at the back of my head and it hurt

definately go to the doc. try stretching out really well and make sure your back is well aligned.

if your doc says something can you let me know? i want to get to the doc too but i dont know when i can

its probably nothing serious, usually isnt, but i would advise not doing anything that would cause the headaches, including heavy lifting and sex

Funny you put those two things in the same catagory :D I suggest that if you somehow have these two things next to each other in your mind, that you get your girlfriend on weight watchers :p

LOL Heizen :) - i think i might have mis-spoke. i was thinking more like things that would cause a buildup or stress/tension/pressure something like that :D

Anyway I've talked to a physical therapist, a personal trainer/massage therapist, and made a call to the doc

all said that i should be fine. the p therapist suggestion it might have been some sort of muscle spasm, the pt/m therapist suggested a slight misalignment in the back that might cause a buildup of pressure which to me sounds equally or more plausable, and the doc just said unless i start losing conciousness i should be fine...just to use discretion in my actions.

i still wake up with headaches, and my lower back and and neck are still a little sensitive, but i think thats because of my mattress here at home, not or not entirely the result of that workout.

i dont know how much of this applies to you, and of course does not take tha place of medical advice from a professional who is aware of your specific circumstance, but i hope it helps a bit at least :)

happy holidays!
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
