Never stop
"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.
Never another woman for you

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

If you want to play pick up...just lift light and cut, do more sprints and cardio.
The reason I say never stop is because muscular atrophy is the major cause of injury in those of retirement age. Bones lose density and the frame has no elasticity or shock absorption. The longer you can hold that at bay the better the quality of life.
my Dad is 76 a former Olympic coach. Never stopped lifting. He swims, jogs, climbs mountains. Plays ice curling.We did a 21 mile hike in February in the snow.
make adjustments to your training protocol. Hell just switch to calesthenics.. but don’t stop.
that’s my advice anyway. Also they say that as a man’s testosterone drops the balls he plays with get smaller. You will be flicking marbles next.

I would live in a beach town in Thailand or maybe Florida.
Focus more on my Christian faith, volunteer and help people on my spare time.
I would make a ton of of platonic friends to hang out with.
Work more on my hobbies, hone my guitar skills and maybe play a couple of gigs.
Career wise, finally finish my bachelors degree and maybe get a part time job I enjoy while at it.
Oh yeah, continue working out, lifting weights, calisthenics etc.

"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.
