"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 just read DIESEL's thread about cutting up. I fully understand that in order to lose weight, you need to create a calorie deficit. You must eat less than you burn. The part I'm struggling with is how exactly do you make sure to eat the right amount of calories everyday? Does the amount have to be fairly exact?

I understand reading labels and all that, but for me, in the past it was never an exact science. Maybe it hast to do with the fact that I live in a house with my father and brother and I am often convinced by them to follow their eating habits, which are not exactly healthy by any means.

So, I guess my question is: Does anyone here have any tips or habits I could incorporate into my plan to help insure success?
 

"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.

1. Buy your own food

2. Calculator

3. Make a chart

I don't really worry about calories unless its WAY over the top. I do heaps of fitness stuff, so as long as you eat calories at the right time and not waaay out of proportion it shouldn't matter too much.

But if you're following DIESEL's cutting guide, you'll need to make a chart and have a CONSISTENT eating pattern, which generally means buy your own food so you know EXACTLY what you're eating and when.

If you have the money, buy a mini-fridge and put it in your room. That way there's no temptations when you open the fridge and see your brothers left over pizza. Like quiksilver said, make a chart. Highlight the crap out of it and post it on your fridge so you don't forget!

Breaking away from your family's eating patterns is hard, but very doable. It just takes a lot of willpower. They'll probably scoff at you when you refuse their food, but who cares? Remind yourself, every time you're tempted, what you're doing this for and where you want to be. Swear and laugh at the off-limits food if you have to.

The USDA has a good nutrition database at http://www.ars.usda.gov/Services/docs.htm?docid=7783

And yeah, it pays to be exact.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
