"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.

I am currently on an SSRI anti depressent and one of the side effects is weight gain. So my question is, if i continue going to the gym, will this weight just turn into muscle? Or will it be a bad kind of weight gain?
 

"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.

Fat doesn't turn into muscle.

You could try doing cardio to burn it off but really you should see if your doctor can put you on an alternative medication without that side effect.

I forgot to add that I am 5-11 and about 135 pounds. So again, If i am trying to bulk up, gaining weight can't hurt right?

when people on this forum say 'bulk' they mean muscle, not fat. muscle is heavier than fat. no seratonin inhibitor will make you gain muscle, only fat. fat is just stored energy in the form of blubber. it has nothing to do with muscle or bulking. it is simply an unwanted byproduct of bulking - the calorie surplus required to effectively build muscle on a strength training program will overflow into some fat which can be kept at bay with cardiovascular exercise.
