"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 dunno whats with me lately.
I'm just tired all the time. I eat sensibly (my diet at the moment is the most balenced & healthy it's ever been) & I'm getting plenty of sleep (around 9-10 hours a night).

I got fired from my job a few weeks ago, so i've got loads of free time to do what i want. At first it was great, & i was really making the most of it.

but now.. It's like, i just can't be bothered to do anything. I take my dog for a walk everyday, & i used to race her around the woods & get a good exercise out of it. Now, i run a little bit, but i give up after a short disatance.

In the day i keep saying "i'll work out tonight", but when it comes to it, i'm either too tired, or it's too humid, or theres something on TV i want to watch, or i'll start stretching or warming up, & i'm not all there & my hearts just not in it, etc.

I'm yawning all the time, it's like i'm only half awake all day. When watching TV my attention goes elsewhere. I can't be bothered to read anymore. I've now gone back to playing my PS2 as thats the only thing i have the energy for.

What the hell is wrong with me?
What can i do to break away from this?

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Make a schedule. Post it on your wall. When you workout, put a checkmark on your schedule. Sooner or later, there will be an abundance of checkmarks or none. Then it will be up to you to make a decision about how bad you really want to be in shape.

Making the most of MY life
I had the same problem man, basically there arnt enough things to do so you get lazy and sit on your arse. And trust me after 1 week you feel bad and know your not doing anything. My suggestion is to go take up a hobbie, like brazilian juijitsu or a sport. Just something that will take up time, since you have so many free hours you delay things, when you have a busy schedual you get more done, since you HAVE to prioritize to achieve anything. So basically go learn something or get involved in a group or sport to add time, and then you will get back into gym.:cheer:

if you have the money than not working is the best thing you can have for bodybuilding.

-as much rest as you need/want
-no stress
-you can make a perfect diet if it is bulking or cutting doesnt matter. think about it...can you concentrate on learning while on always full of food, hardly!can you work a hard physical labor job while on a low calorie low carbs diet??hardly!can you plenty of healthy food every 2hours while working?hardly!also you dont have ****faces complaining about your different foods

USE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BUILD UP YOUR BODY WHAT THE **** IS WRONG WITH YOU?!!BUILD A ****ING MONUMENTAL BODY UNTIL YOU FIND A NEW JOB!!!!!!!!
 

"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.
