"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'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.

Ahhh the agression! I dont understand how some people can get psyched up for a heavy squat set with justin timberlake crying in the background. Theres no punch in that music! I saw a guy on a youtube video squatting 720 lbs raw for five reps with maroon 5 playing the background. Now that is one strong guy!"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Quadrophenia by The Who still tops my list.
That, and an obscure post-punk gem by Michael Been (singer/composer of The Call) called On the Verge of a Nervous Breakthrough.
The latest Mission of Burma album (The Obliterati) is also great workout music.

Thanks for the correction - I probably would've continued on for another decade with the wrong title had you not pointed it out.KarmaSutra said:

Queen's music isn't *tough* but it is *awesome*Bible_Belt said:
My musical tastes are all over.. However I usually listen to stuff like "RAZED IN BLACK Share This Poison" and VNV Nation - Solitary.
I grew up hitting up industrial clubs (and still do on occasion).. not everyones cup of tea to be sure but it is part of my musical bread and butter.
"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.

i know i am a chick, so i do more aerobic sort of exercises and work outs, but i really dig sweating to the oldies even without the richard simmons tapes.
you put on some beach boys and time just flies while you are running or exercising.
when i have to do crunches and situps and even when i use my tiny little girlie weights to tone up, it seems to go smoother and faster when i have some really fun tunes on. exercise time is all about me, and a break from other things. i like it to be happy-fied!
now if i play the aggressive music that i prefer (like sevendust), i tend to get a little angry and frustrated, which may be a good thing to you guys especially if you are lifting weights.

Actually, some classical music is also good when doing cardio outside (not lifting). I actually am a big fan of Bach.

not exactly death-metal but it does the job.
"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.
