"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.

It's been a so so year on the self-improvement front. I haven't lost any weight to speak of however I have toned up. The older guys will understand it takes a fair bit of effort just not to go backwards.

Spring has turned here now so it's time to amp things up. This diary thread will cover progress on my summer goals basically Fitness motorcycle riding house renovation and study.

I'll start with a win. Finally managed to finish assembling the stupid exercise bike I bought that came in a million bits. And against all my expectations the bloody thing actually works. Goal is to do 20 minutes every morning before work.

Oh and the thread title is to remind me to pull finger and start learning to ride my motorbike now that the weather is OK.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

So so weekend. Badminton, weights and exercise biking. Had drinks with a mate. Bit of job hunting no study.

Got back from 2 days away with the girlfriend at beach. eating 3 eggs scrambled with spinach mushrooms and parmigiano.

Picked up a fill in spot at my social tennis a grade up from what I normally play. since it's a public holiday today goal is to get there a bit early warm up and practice Directionals hit the ball and then recovery footwork without looking at where the shot is going.

Won all my tennis matches on Monday. walking foot work and taking the ball early was working well when I remembered. Light work tonight shadow kickboxing body weight and stretching. the big tennis battle is tomorrow night. I've been captaining the team while my partner has been away. Won last week have to win this week and then we'll be in good shape to make it to the semis
 

"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.

Got injured at tennis last night so time to clean out the tumbleweeds off this thread and get back to work. Got sick a lot over winter and gained a bit of weight but it's starting to come off. Got next week off before I start a new job so I'm looking to do a quick Blitz even injured. I pretty much tore the top of my hamstring so it's all going to have to be low impact.
