"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Hey guys. I sprained my ankle yesterday. Im pissed off cuz my soccer try-outs are on monday. Got more mad when friends told me it might take about 1-2 weeks for it to heal. I just wanted to ask you guys whats the fastest way to bring down swelling and heal it?




THANKS
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

I broke my foot last week and I know how you feel. The best way to get rid of swelling is RICE. Rest Ice Compression Elevation. Get a compression/ace bandage, wrap around ankle and put ice on it. Elevate the ankle above your heart so fluid can drain and hope for the best.
 

"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.

If it is noticably swollen or has any discoloration you're probably out for monday but it all depends I've had a sprain ankle heal up real fast and others that stuck around forever. If your ankle was pretty warmed up when you sprained it then it will heal up faster.

The best thing I would recommend that I've done in the past is stretch out your ankle by stretching out your calves. In physio offices there are these cylinder foam things that you put up against the wall then place your feet against it to stretch but regular calve stretches will probably do the trick.

Icing is probably something that should have been done right away and the more time that goes by the less effective icing it will be. Icing a newly sprained ankle immediatly tries to constrict the blood vessels that have been broken open since blood vessels are no longer breaking open in your ankle then icing will decline in it's effectiveness. But it can't hurt to keep doing it.

Compression will give your ankle the support that is has lost through the sprain so it is definitely a good idea. If this is a serious sprain then get some crutches cause you'll make it worse by walking on it and lengthen the recovery time.

best of luck...

Rest
Ice
Compression
Elevation

That's the best I can do for you. Except definitely don't push it too much - if you come back with a sprained ankle and it's not healed a whole lot, you run the risk of tearing stuff up and having to be out of commission for a whole lot longer.
