"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.

okay argh so this week because i'd done my workout plan for about 2 months and it ended i figured i'd rest a week before starting it again. anyway i catch a cold during this week. It's funny because when i was working out for those 2 months even though i exposed myself to sources of the cold i never did catch it and i figured working out was helping my immune system. but what happens now, i go out and catch the cold cause im not workout out. sheesh i knew i should have jsut continued workout out....

anyway jsut wanted to ask if my thoughts were actually right and working out does boost immune systems?
 

"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.

It was a fluke. You not working out when you caught the cold was a coincidence.

No there's NO WAY. Common colds are a complete slag.

At the first sign of a cold I stark taking zinc lozenges which help a ton. The trick is that you need to start taking them the day that you start showing symptoms be it just a few sneezes or a runny nose. I keep some at home and at work.
 

"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.

If I am in shape when I get sick, I keep working out. It helps. However, if i'm out of shape and get sick, working out makes everything worse.
