I've read so many different answers and reasons to this question you wouldn't believe. How many reps/sets should you do and why? What are the different outcomes?
"The Kiss of Death Mistake"
You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?
Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.
One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.
Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.
How many reps to do?

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

In short, it doesn't matter. It's made out to be a mountain when it's a molehill. But I personally prefer the higher end, I've been doing 8 reps for a long time now and recently switched to 12 because I feel it gives me more control and thus better stimulation. I also mix it up with drop sets, I'll put on a weight I can't do for more than 4-8 reps and then I lower it and crank out 8-4 more. Just do what feels good for you.

I had 1 rep per set per exercise every week (3 times a week - Tuesday, thursday, saturday).... Saturday is where the +1 rep to all set happens, Monday is the same rep as Saturday, Saturday is +1 of monday.... Thursday are 70% of monday rep
Basically, I am always going up.... I stop at 20 rep per set per exercice, 6 sets.... than I change level which bring me new exercise or variation of a exercice movement. When I change level, I go back to 4 rep per set.... until i reach 20 again.
Also, I strech, so I am flexible like hell

And how many sets per muscle per week (or workout)?

I have three main movements: t-bar row, dips and one leg press. I do 3 sets of those twice a week, 3 other sets for each muscle twice a week, I usually make every last set of an exercise a drop set, and work out 4 times a week. That's basically it, there are some more details but I won't bother with them unless you want to know because it's not necessary.
"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

As Attack mentioned, set/rep scheme doesn't matter nearly as much as following a consistent program that progressively gets harder.
Having said that, I'm a fan of 5x5 for muscle that is both highly functional and aesthetically pleasing.
Google Stronglifts 5x5 for a free and incredibly simple lifting program that is EXTREMELY effective. It even has its own app. Then just make sure you're eating enough as well.

Easiest way I can break it down:
If your training for strength or powerlifting your in the 1-5 Rep Max range. (Generally)
If your Bodbuilding you can be anywhere from 8-20 reps.
All comes down to programming, your goals and ect. Also overtime you will try things out and learn what works best for you.
