"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.

not telling :P
Can someone point me in the right direction on how to get really fit for the new football season (soccer for americans). I'am a very good footballer but one of the problems last season was lack of fitness (illness and injuries and a sedentary lifestyle) and thus I could only play one half of a match a game and rarely two and this was in defence rather than my preferred position in central defensive midfield.

I have 6 weeks to really prepare for the new season and I'am really fired up. All I need is the ability to run pretty hard for 120 minutes (games are 60 minutes in length but sometimes we have 2 matches 1 after the other: it's a university 5 a side league thing.)

At the moment I'am running 3 miles for about 24 mins. I can do it in about 20 mins If I really put myself out. This may not seem very good but much of the running is in countryside so you have to dodge holes in the path, uneven terrain and all that. I do this 6x a week. Obviously though this is not enough If I want to get supremely fit for the new football season.

Any tips and thanks in advance!!!?
 

"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.

As you run, combine in intervals of sprints. If you have to play for two hours, go on a very long, very slow jog...and combine a number of sprints into the jog to resemble your typical dual-game day. Sprint until your lungs burn, recover as you jog, and then do it again.
