"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.

Is this how I should be gaining mass?

I realise my gains are tapering off so I decided to check on the days I gain mass. It seems that I only gain weight on days I workout and gains on non-workout days, is this normal or am I doing something wrong? I'm posting my diet for critique on how I can continue gaining 1lb/week.

Breakfast: 4 Eggs + 1 cup oatmeal + 1 Banana

Lunch (2hrs after breakfast): 0.5lbs chicken + 1 cup rice

Meal 3: Almond Butter Sandwich + 1 cup nuts

Dinner: 0.5lbs chicken/fish/pork + 1 cup rice + 2 servings of veg

Meal 5: 500ml GNC Mass gainer (1/2 scoop) mixed with milk.

I also drink half a gallon of milk (1400cal) per day. Anymore than that I start having the runs. I also drink this shake post workout and 1 banana as well.

Advice or tips will be appreciated
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

1a. Eat more.

1b. Don't count "mass gainer" or any supplement as a meal.

2. Weight yourself once a fortnight, not every day.

I agree with Jitterbug.

As a more concise suggestion, I'd add 3-4 more eggs to the Almond butter sandwich.

Diet looks pretty good, but like QS advised, the sandwich needs eggs or other source of protein.

Thanks for the advice guys, I'll be making the above mentioned adjustments to my diet and lets see how it turns out.
 

"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.
