"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.

Hi all,

My mother has a herniated disc in her lower spine, and always throws her back out when doing housework. The physical therapists tell her to do ab work (crunches, sit ups, etc) to help strengthen her core. I guess that makes sense, but she still has problems. So I cant help to think that she should find a way to directly work the lower back muscles too, and the increased back strength would make her work easier on her.

Do any of the trainers on here have any knowledge of this, or can point me to a place where the info is credible?

Thanks.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Sound advice from her caregivers, ie ab crunches, sit ups, etc. I decided to respond to this as I have a friend in my office who had a slightly herniated disc at L5-S1. It was giving him problems so he went to a chiro. The chiro bent him into some contorted position while "adjusting" his low back and shattered the disc at L5-S1. He got a surgical consult and surgery is imminent. He knows it was the chiro as he had an MRI right before he went and then again after. Point being, she should be careful about who she lets treat her and how.
