"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.

Back to the subject at hand without writing a novel, I went on a brisk 25 mile ride yesterday through the city completely strapped with heart rate monitor, speedometer, power meter, caloric calculator, the works. Giving the stopping and starting at stop lights and such, it took an hour and fifteen minutes with an 18MPH average with a top speed of 31MPH and burned 1243 calories.

Yes, it's about the energy expended; as for time spent, distance, effort and such road cycling rips apart running. Now don't get me started on what mountain biking does for 'ya! :up:
 

"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.

Riding ur bike is much better for u, you have to do more work but it's worth it. If you weigh more than 160 running long distance will put too much strain on ur legs and will lead to joint problems like my uncle. Running short like 1-3 miles maybe just during the summer is fine but more than 5 isn't good. Running long distance also kills ur muscle and fat at the same time so if u want to get in shape do CARDIO like swimming.

That's what I'm saying. :up:
 

"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.
