"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
sleep first and then go to the gym?

"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.

How much sleep are you getting at night? You should aim for 8 hours. Sometimes it can really help to take a nap during the day though if you have time. If you still go to the gym, make sure you eat at least an hour before, otherwise you won't have much energy for lifting and you increase the chances of losing muscle!

I almost always get 8 hours of sleep but it never seems to be enough.................... and when i nap sometimes i'll "nap" for up to 2 hours and 30 minutes. usually though its about an hour and 15 min.
I do take in carbs and it doesnt work....... seems as if once i get comfortable, im as good as asleep.

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Uh, yeah... you lift weights on an empty stomach and you can lose muscle. Its actually easier for your body to catabolize muscle rather than fat.
Damn dude, 8 hours a night and you still take 2 hour naps? Wow! I have the opposite problem. Yeah maybe a cold shower would work for ya.

taking naps before excersice make me kinda sluggish...and then at night i have a lot of trouble sleeping
how old are you. teenagers sleep cycles are kinda screwed up because of school and everything. stuff like them supposed to be sleeping till 8 but having to be at school at 730. ive been waking up at the same time nine months out of the year for four years so im pretty used to it. try sleeping a litle more at nigiht, and a little less. and see if that helps
it's a good idea to do exercise after sleep. 90% of HGH is excreted while you sleep. So it's a good idea gym early in the morning, although your pain tolerance may be lower. Personally I don't like gym in the morning, as I can't stress myself as much as I can in the afternoon/early evening. But you need enough sleep, that's m,ore important than actual gym

Eat much turkey? White bread? What IS your diet like?
"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

i do eat turkey i would say a good amount ever 2 weeks. Plenty of skim milk. Usually whole wheat bread. I also usually eat ALOT before i sleep. I have to be IN school by 7:10, that means i have to wake up about an hour before that. Im never about to wake up early enough. On a good night i'll sleep at 10pm, Usually i sleep at 11pm.
