"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.

Just curious. Every time I go over to a girl's house they always wanna drink lol. But I've got to be so strict about my bodybuilding that it's like I'm preparing for a competition, so that I can reach the next level of nicksaiz65.

What should I do? Do some extra cardio early in the day and then just have a glass of wine or something whenever I'm over at their house?
 

"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.

Alcohol adds sugar into your system and you have to work it off…

I actually thought the main issue with drinking was weight gain (fat) from the extra calories I was consuming in alcohol, until I quit completely for almost 4 months. My appetite went into overdrive and I gained 10 pounds of quality mass in this few months. Didn't lose much fat at all like I had thought. 1/2-1" on my waist. Alcohol decreases protein synthesis up to 20% in some studies and fvcks with your hormones. Some of my best PR's have been done, when hungover, but probably not ideal if your focus is hypertrophy, or at all for that matter, but it's not easy to give up, when you like it.
