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.
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.
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.

Anything that contains water (including vegetables and fruit) counts. But sodas are junk to be avoided (esp coke - which - despite being a dring - has diurectic characteristic).
The rule is to drink often, and more then less. While I'd say that 2 gals/day is a bit excessive, 1-1.5 is usually enough.
However - I know people who could go through as much as 4-5 gallons during hot days (one guy is a pro cyclist, other a runner).
However - if during the day you feel thirsty, then you drank - TOO LITTLE - no matter how much was it.

isn't 4-5 gallons like 12-15 liters?!?!?!

Dunno much about the runner, but in the case of a cyclist it was a 125mile MTB marathon in about 35 celsius.
Usually he does a 100-150 km/day in the summer, and really hot days he drinks like mad.
