"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 have some whey protein but it tastes absolutely disgusting with water or milk and its hard for me to drink it. This might be a dumb question but can you mix some powder with certain foods maybe? or would is the flavor to strong that I would still taste it? any alternatives to getting rid of the bad taste or not making it as bad would help. thanks
 

"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.

Put peanut butter in the powder when you skake or blend it. It makes it alot better.

Vanilla is the best flavor to mix IMO. I use Optimum Nutrition's (ON) vanilla. I mix it with milk a banana and Sunny Delight and it tastes like an Orange Julius. :up:
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

I'm a fan of ON Chocolate... everytime somebody runs a survey around here, most people cite ON 100% whey as their fave, either choc or vanilla.

It's certainly possible to get unflavored whey. (One source: http://www.trueprotein.com/) Which will mix fine with whatever you want, though if you find the flavored stuff bitter, the plain stuff certainly won't be any better by itself.

But in any case, what are you using it for? If you're using it postworkout, you don't want to gum up the pure protein with any sort of solid food unless you absolutely must. Find a brand of whey you can tolerate for postworkout, and add dextrose or maltodextrin (search "postworkout nutrition" in this forum).
