"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 am supposed to work out today (Friday) but being the day after Thanksgiving, my gym is closed. Should I go tomorrow or wait til Monday. I am doing a MWF routine.

If I go tomorrow, that would mean I have 72 hrs rest between workouts, which would be the same as a weekend, but then next week I would have 4 workouts consecutively with 48 hrs rest between, whereas I would normally only have 3. On the other hand, if I wait til Monday, that gives me 120 hrs rest between two workouts which seems a bit much, especially since I am still working "in" to my routine. In other words, I am not even close to peeking as I am still in light stages since this is still my second week.

Am I thinking too much, or is there one decision which is better. Thanks
 

"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.

Looking in your journal, since the weights are still pretty light for you and you are concentrating on form, going in tommorow would be fine.
