I noticed today that I can't bench press with as much weight as I normally would. Instead of increasing the weight, I have to decrease it. Same with shoulder presses. Could it be that I went swimming yesterday? My deadlift & squats numbers are increasing, but my bench & shoulder press are decreasing. Did this ever happened to you?
"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.

What does your weekly routine look like? Be specific with exercises and sets and reps.
When was the last time you went light or had a week off?

Ye it happened to me a couple of years ago. I was eating fine and increasing in weight and all of a sudden I had lost like 20 pounds on the bench for no reason at all.
Maybe you need to check over your form or check over the volume you do for tris/shoulders/chest.

Chest/Shoulder/Triceps
Bench Press 3X10
Incline 3 or 2 X10
Decline 3 or 2 X10
Military Press 3X10
Front Raises 3X10
Upright Rows 3X10
Close Grip B.press 3x6
Overhead Triceps Press: 3X6
Skull Crushers: 3X6
I don't do the exercises in the same order every time. I was always weak at chest and shoulders but it annoys me that I can't lift the amount I lifted the previous week for example. I have lost 10 kilograms in the past month, maybe that is also another reason. Anyhow I started consuming more calories for 5 days per week, 2 days I consume less calories. I used to use heavier weights and go for 6 reps, but I switched to this routine for now since I started going to the gym again.

I notice...... absolutely no back, leg, posterior chain work.
Add another day of
Squats 5x5
STiff leg deadlifts 3x10
Abs whatever x whatever
And
DB Rows 3x10
Chinups 3xfailure
Rear delt flyes 3x10
There you go.
If oyu have lost 10kg in one month you will obviously have lost strength.

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

a one-off bad workout happens often and is NO reason to dramatically change your diet, your routine or have a week off. you should make changes if you are having consistently bad workouts.
however:
on your other thread you said you ate like 1500 calories a day. it is natural you will lose strength and muscle!

Simple, basic routines like that work awesome for strength and size, but hardly anyone will do them because they're not flash enough, or, the classic "it's not enough work for me".
But something like that has pretty much every exercise you'd need to get big and strong. Get as strong as hell on those and you'll be as big as you'll ever be (naturally anyway).
"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.
