"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.

I'm really new to working out I go to the gym 3 days a week and plan on going more in couple of months. I think I over stretched my leg(thigh) muscles though. They have really been painful to strech or lay on. I'm going to the gym again today after missing Wednesday. I don't want to overdue it today so light treadmil then work on my arms chest and back. While I'm on the subject what is the best way to work on abs???
 

"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.

Could be a muscle strain, could also be that you're sore from your last workout and you don't know the difference between soreness and pain yet seeing as you're new to all this.

Is the pain sharp and localized and does it get much worse with touch, or is it more of a mild burning sensation in the whole muscle? In the first case, it could be a strain and in the second it's more likely to be soreness.

I think it's just soreness but it's painful to even lay down. My arms were sore but they alright now. Just overdid it a little bit, can't wait to my next workout.
