"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Wrist injury -- can't work out

Hi all,

I just discovered that I have tenosynovitis in my right wrist.

Tenosynovitis: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tenosynovitis

I can't lift weights or do anything heavy with my right hand, even opening doors is a problem now (after about a week). So, I can't work out, which I usually do at home since I live out in the boonies and don't have money for a gym.

I started jogging again and doing sit-ups, but I can't do squats because I usually hold the barbell in front of me while doing them.

Any ideas on how to work out and keep in shape for the next 1-2 months would be very welcome. Thanks in advance.

"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.

Sorry to say we are not Doctor's and a lot of exercises involve your hands.

Don't do anything to aggravate it and do the best you can.

You might get away with machine hack squats and other leg work...but almost every other lift requires using your hands :(
