"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

"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.
Doing both things at the same time is hard if not impossible. If you have lots of fat and are just starting out then do a small cut before you start to build muscle, you'll probably add some muscle even if you cut if you eat right. If you try to do both then you will probably get no where.
It depends on what body type you are. Endomorphs and mesomorphs have an easier time keeping muscle mass than ectomorphs while cutting. What helps is eating outrageous amounts of protein (at least one gram for every pound you weigh).
last year i was at 190. Now, im at 170. Goal is 160 with muscles of course. So, i would nead.. 170 grams of protein a day thenLIME! said:It can be done. I've went from 265 to 235 in about a month and a half. I've increased my overall strength during that time too (though somewhat weaker shoulders).

If you wanna drop weight and increase strength, it's a tough proposition. It'll go reallly slow and you probably won't stick with it because you won't be seeing any visible results for a month or two. But, here are the basics:
-early morning light cardio (read: brisk walk) on an empty stomach, 40-50 mins 5 times a week
-green tea... lots (like a half gallon to a gallon a day)
-lots of water (like a gallon a day)
-don't mix carb/fat meals, only carb/protein or fat/protein.
-cut carbs off ~ 5 pm or 6pm
-blast the protein, 2g/lb of bodyweight.
-lift intense, but get enough rest.
-eat every 2-3 hours
"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'd recommend the eBook "Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle" by Tom Venuto. There's a lot of information in that book that can't be covered via forum, and you'll want the information to make more educated decisions.
In my position, I've opted to cut the fat first before deciding if I should bulk up or not. I might get down to my target body fat percentage and decide that I like the way I look!
You never know, you might like how you look if you got your BF% down to a single digit, and it's easier to drop that fat than it is to build muscle tissue.
