"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.

i hate running, always have really.
But today, i ran in place and felt the burn quicker than i ever had in my entire life. It was awesome. It was more like high stepping than running in place. My abs started tightening really quick, and I only did it for about 4 minutes. Running itself always felt weird and it always tired me out. I might not have been doing something right, but oh well, i wouldn't have liked it regardless. Plus when I run, my balls feel like they're going to fall through my sack :O ouch! That didn't happen once with what I tried today.

Also, I'm giving the Atkins diet a try (sort of). I haven't eaten bread for the past two days and its killing me not to, but I feel better. I think I'll just not worry about it and keep up this running in place stuff and benching.
 

"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.

I'm guessing that losing weight is your goal (read: losing bodyfat, not muscle) since you're both running and on Atkins.

I don't like running either (you might find that you like cycling or something else better), but there's a form of cardio that you do literally only 12-15 minutes a day, tops (and those who first start out should begin at about 4 or 5 minutes!). It's called HIIT. Search this board. Learn it. Love it.

There's also a different version of Atkins called a CKD (Cyclic Ketogenic Diet). The idea of being in ketosis is all the same, but the difference is there's a ~36 hour "carb up" period where you can pig out a little on the carbs. The caveat is that you had better be a bodybuilder, since the carb-up is meant to replace depleted muscle glycogen while you've been working out during the week.

Oh, and I've heard warnings to the effect that straight Atkins was meant for sedentary people and not meant for active people wanting to maintain/gain muscle mass; CKD is much better for bodybuilding. You might want to look into that.

Those are just the tips of those two icebergs, but you might be happier with your exercise and nutrition programs if you consider those.
