"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.

I'm alittle confused at some things..First of all I have started to lift weights(15 years old)I weigh 170,6 foot. People at my school are already lifting weights.
Should I start lifting heavily now or just lift moderately?All I do is pushups and run. I would do 500 pushups monday-friday, then 1000 saturday and sunday, then skip a week ..so on. I also eat alot, thats what my friends say. Iwould eat around 7-12 meals a day :( Im pretty sure im not fat.My question is, should I start lifting weights alot now or wait until im alittle older?FYI, at my school freshman are lifting 220-290... I lift 245..And also what type of foods should I eat, and one more thing, should i use protien shakes or anything in that general area?
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

what kind of lifting are you talking about? :eek:
 

"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.

Espi makes a very good point.

And you lift 245 at 15? Is this right down to the chest and using free weights? And you haven't done any proper training?

If so, you are a FREAK. (In a good way).
