My thought was that a lot of pre-workout supplements contain caffeine, so if I get the same amount of caffeine from a diet Coke or a coffee, is it a suitable substitute?
"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.

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

How about just not relying on either? If you need a pre-workout to get a good session in something is not right. Could you improve on the quality of your sleep? Are you not eating properly, especially lacking in carbohydrates? Are you working out too much and not recovering adequately?

When I was lifting hardcore and fasting I’d do 3x double shots of espresso before my 430am sessions. It worked.
Its a nootropic…

Coffee works well. Take it black or make your own creamer.

"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.

Artificial sweeteners are horribly unhealthy. Coffee has antioxidants. Unsweetened is probably best, but if you can get real honey, it's nice too.

Preworkouts are nonsense and another marketing ploy by the supplement industry
