"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 think I read something once saying it's not good to mix up a whey shake and let it sit for too long, maybe it starts to break down, not sure. Would it affect it any to mix it up the night before, leave it in the fridge. It would sit for about 10 hours max.
 

"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.

I've "heard" that letting a whey shake sit for awhile is not a good thing. Milk curdles very quickly. The fridge may be a solid place to put it for a few hours, but what's the point? It takes 30 seconds to make.

Why would you have milk in the shake?

4 raw eggs+2 scoops whey+some water, that will last the whole day. Just give it a shake before you drink it.

I wake up at 6 tow rok out and leave at about 6:15. Id like to drink about half of the shake before I go but it would just be much easier to make it the night before. Im usually not motivated to do much of anything before the sun comes up.
 

"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.

Personally I make shakes every day for work and they don't spoil (although I do keep them chilled in a lunchbag with a cold pack in it, then in the fridge when i get to work). I also called and checked with customer service with whom I buy my protein from and they said it would be no problem as they said it takes a long time for their protein to break down (didn't give me exact figures). That said after I make my shake in the morn it gets eaten that day but usually 6-7 hours later and I've never had a problem.

Ingredients may be a factor however I'm not sure. As such I'll share what I usually put in mine:
1/2cup oatmeal, 3-4eggs, tsp psylium seed husk, & 2 scoops whey.

I also substitute veggies (carots, brocolli, or green beans) for the oatmeal when I work late tuesday nights.
