"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.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

I'd say your friend was bull****ting you. It is recommended that you take an entire week off every couple of months and let your body rest. There's no way you can suddenly shrink, you aren't a balloon dude.

Does your friend work out too? Maybe he's jealous of you trying to better yourself and is trying to put you off your game or something. If this isn't the case, i apologise, but some people would rather pull you back to the bottom than climb up to the top with you.

your muscles didnt utlize glycogen that your body had, either that or you didn't take in enough carbs so your muscle cells can size up when you usually take a week off

hell no you won't shrink in one week.
One week off now and then only helps your body to recover.
if you eat enough during this week you'll notice when you start to lift again that you actually have gained strenght. If you don't belive me go search a bodybuilding forum. they'll tell you it's importent for muscle growth that you take a couple of weeks off every year.

sorry for my bad english it's not my primary language.
 

"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.

You fooled me, then. :D

Anyway, I agree with the posts here, taking a week off isn't going to turn you into the "sloth" victim from
Se7en. In fact, you did a good thing.

You should take a week off every six months or so, it's actually good for you, I recently did and if anything looked bigger cos I was more rested. You can't lose all you're muscles in a week that's just ridiculous.
