"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.

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 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.

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
 

"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.

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.
