"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Anyone here run 10ks or half marathons? I have been running cause my wife does her marathons and it has been quite fun. Would love to exchange training ideas. For me now, I'm running up inclines, 3.0% at about 8 mph for 5k stretches to prepare for my next 10k.

There will be flat speed runs and also low heart rate runs where the heart rate doesnt pass 165 etc.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Hi Cloud,
Yes during my Sixties I used to run full half Marathons 13 Miles...My Old Dog and I,every Saturday on Mountain tracks behind my place,Did I get fit?...You Betcha!...Though after Bi Lateral Hip Prosthetics and Chronic Kee Problems I came to regret it...Until my Surgeon told me the damage running DOWN hills does to your joints, I never appreciated what I was doing ...Sure do miss the endorphins though.
