"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.

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???
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

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.
