"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.

I've started to try and get into (relatively) good cardiovascular shape, but the last few times i've ran i've had my stomach hurt afterwards. Im not really sure what this is as I think I'm doing all of the proper stretches before I set off for my run. Any input would be appreciated.
 

"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.

Do you eat a big meal before you run?

Are you breathing overly hard during the run?

Running can be pretty hard on your digestive track (google "runner's trots"). All the jostling stirs things up, which is most likely the cause of your indigestion.

I've run a couple of marathons and eventually had to curtail my running because I'd experience stomach pains anytime I ran. Not saying that this will happen to you of course...that's a worst case scenario.

Make sure you're hydrated before, during, and after the run. Avoid spicy and acidic foods a couple of hours before. That should help.

Do you mean CRAMPS?

Try breathing on your opposite foot when you touch the ground.

Also avoid foods that take a long time to digest.
 

"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.
