"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.

Post workout and alcohol?

I'm very tempted to take some alcohol the next day after I've done a heavy back workout. Not a lot, just a little to help me sleep.

Anybody know what's the worst that could happen?
 

"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.

Your testosterone levels will drop, protein synthesis will be inhibited, and your metabolism will be slowed down to name a few things off the top of my head.

try melatonin. you can buy it from wal-mart in the supplement/vitamin section for cheap. melatonin is naturally released in your brain to responses in changes of light. I have tried it and after 35 minutes on an empty stomach I had a hard time keeping my eyes open. No other side effects besides that. Good stuff.

That practically negates the heavy back workout. Damnit!:mad:
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

alcohol will do that, however i am unsure if one drink before bed will do so significantly, or if one drink before bed will help you sleep.

i would look into some relaxation techniques first. they are going to give you a more restful sleep anyway.

they say alcohol is good for you, if you do one drink like every day or so. One beer will help you fall asleep, its my favorite form of nyquil. Just make sure you are hydrated and eating ok and 1 beer won't have any noticable effects on you

You couldn't be more wrong. Island, if you want to sleep well I recommend taking ZMA.

a glass of wine is supposed io be healthy because of its antioxidants, and some doctors recommend a glass every day for insomnia patients. id recommend you find another way.
 

"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.

all i know is i drank like crazy last semester while taking cell tech, and i went from 185 lbs to 220 lbs. My bench went from 240 to 290. Thats the only thing i maxed in but everything went up, even thoguh i was gettign trashed all weekend. If you are really serious, don't drink, but i honestly think 1 won't hurt. Read a book before bed, books are amazing at getting you to sleep.
