"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.

Just wondering, if you are unable to workout for a week or 2, should you still eat like you are training? I have tons of exams coming up, and unfortunately do not see myself making it out the gym at all for about 10 days. Just wondering if i should still consume a ton of protein during this time. Or just cut back and carb more? I just feel silly taking my protein shakes and ZMA , etc when im not even working out for the time period.

Thanks
 

"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.

Continue to eat you normal diet. You muscles can take this period of time as a period of rest and recovery. I've just taken a week of from an 8week training cycle, just so i can regenerate fully and use the time to eat. Your muscles may still grow without training (for a short peroid of time) if you maintain a good diet.

Depends (as usual) but in general: keep everything the same except drop your post workout drink, and possibly some pre-workout carbs if you have them, everything else including protein intake stays the same.
