"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.

Okay, I remember a thread about this a few months ago, but couldn't find it again.

Yesterday while I was doing squats, doing the last rep of my last set, I got a MAJOR pain in the back left side of my head. I was doing 155lbs on squats, which is my new high, and was on my third set of five. I literally almost fell over from the pain, and after struggling the rest of the way up and racking the bar, I just collapsed on the ground. I've never felt anything like this before. Now (19 hours later) I still have the pain, although not as strong. This is definitely not a headache. I couldn't finish my workout yesterday, and I can barely see straight as it is right now.

Any ideas?

"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.

You should probably get to the hospital right now dude.

Maybe you burst a vein or tore something.

Go to the hospital. I had this when doing barbell curls a year and a half ago. Exact same symptoms as you. Worst pain I've ever felt. They did an MRI scan on my head and gave me a spinal tap. They couldn't find any evidence of bleeding, so all was ok. But yeah...go to the hospital. I haven't done curls since then, haw haw!

I was the person with the orginal post. Its your breathing. Go back to lighter weights, and get your breathing down correctly. Your probably holding your breath for the entire rep and/or set.
 

"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.
