"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

"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.

Change your diet.
Eats fruits,peanuts & veggies around the clock. It will make sure your stomach stays in the 'ON' position and constantly processing stuff thus making it hard for you to gain weight.
I don't mean buy fruit juice and drink that crap,or orange,apple,grape or any other that stuff. I mean solid fruits;strawberries,grapes,pineapples,tomatoes & bananas.

Care to elaborate what you do at the gym and how your diet looks?
I have a definitive formula, that works for my body very well.
A) Get up early and run for 20 minutes.
B) Every other day do weight training. Be it whatever, exercise all muscles.
C) Proper diet. I write down calories on paper and enter them into spread sheet. Adjust caloric intake so that I feel compfy and loose about 10 lbs a month.
C.1) What you eat should have labels or a definitive nutrition value chart somewhere. It should be low fat and fat to protein ratio should be a good 3/4 protein to 1 part fat, or something similar. Lean foods.
D) Your last meal before 5 PM, you go to bed early and get plenty of sleep, wake up and repeat. It's very good life style, believe me.

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

I'd bet a lot of money you haven't tried everything. Christ what is with this defeatist attitude that seems to be compounding everywhere these days.HandyAndy said:
Is there a new epidemic I haven't heard of where your balls fall off and you grow breasts? Actually try finding some information in depth using the search function and you will find there is quite a number of decent threads on diet/training etc. Then, and only then, should you have to resort to making a new thread if something still isn't clear. Hell did you even try the stickies?
P.s.-How the hell is anyone going to help if you don't provide any information on your current training and diet! Use common sense!:trouble:
Edit-Stuntmann I am sorry to say this but...please don't give advice on fat loss, muscle loss yes, but not fat...
Fat-loss is a real war for some people. Treat it that way! You can't just rock up to a gym do curls, check out the chicks, cycle, then go home. You need to totally overhaul your diet, training and life style.

It is impossible to grow unless you're getting to many calories.

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
Ok well i have 3 1/2 hour football practice everyday and games on Fridays.
I try to eat healthy, i eat fruits and stuff and homemade food, i try to cut out the fast food as much as possible, i dont drink soda at all anymore, ive been getting home tired from practice at around 7 so i dont really have the time or energy to get some workouts in at the gym, but starting september im going to start this new workout plan for 6 weeks, but the thing is, i still have practice then, AND homework, i have alot of crap going on and its taking my workout time away.

"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.

Well, your advice, while well-intended, will prove to be catabolic for many people. Now if you have a lot of bodyfat to lose and little muscle then it could work, but 10lbs per month (for how many months??) for someone who isn't obese is going to include muscle loss with the fat.Stuntmann said:

Most guys are trying to gain weight for football, you know?
Try cutting out sugar (crabs) and eating more raw vegetables. They are good if you dip them in a salad dressing you like. Also, unsweetened tea is a good zero-calorie drink, and you'll get a little energy from the caffeine. Green tea is better than black.
But im 270lbs, i dont need to gain anymore lol, i dont really care about numbers, i want to slim my belly down, and so far no help with that...any fat burning workouts or anything, i want to flatten it out some...Bible_Belt said:

I'm not known to do this often, but this is becoming redundant.
The solution to your problem is a combination of:
a) healthy, whole food diet that is high in protein and fat, and moderate carbs.
b) low intensity morning cardio
c) hydration
d) rest
c) patience

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
