"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.

Nothing wrong with taking creatine, whatsoever. If you have the tool available to you, use it.

Is it a waste of money? Potentially. If you have the cash for it not to be an issue, use it. I personally use it as it comes free with my protein powder, otherwise I don't see much point in it - some people respond better to it than others though.

StateOfMind... why would it be ineffective? The diet not being setup is obviously a problem for building muscle, but the creatine would still do its role regardless.
The Creatine works for me so that's why I use it. I notice a difference when I'm not using it compared to when I am.
 

"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.

All right well we maxed out Monday during school and my bench has improved by 60lbs since I made this journal! Wow!

I now bench 210lbs, I'm only 15lbs from my goal. My back is all fvcked up so it's hard for me to squat, my current squat is at 275lbs.

Still been losing weight and running daily, I am only 8lbs from my current goal of 165lbs. I've been doing ab workouts everyday, I have been focusing more on my sides than my front. I want a strong side before a strong front side.

While I was attempting ot lose weight I decided to eat less, I figured less calories + more intense workout == more weight/fat loss. Well after doing that I realized it wasn't working. So instead I've been eating 3 meals a day, no snacking. My meals are always healthy full of proteins and vitamins, I've been eating a lot more fruit and drinking a lot more water lately. And because of that the results are amazing. I noticed how much weight I dropped and the effect on me, my muscles are more toned and I'm actually a lot more confident when I look in the mirror, even some of my friends are starting to notice how much better I look. Can't weight to lose another 8lbs.

What keeps my goals strong and keeps me going are the people who tell me I wont be able to achieve my goal before the end of the year. Well so far I have been proving them wrong, so I will prove them wrong once again by setting new goals for myself every time I achieve a new one.

It's been a long time since I've updated this, I now weigh 167lbs. I've been doing some intense ab training and it's showing.

When it comes to running long distance, it's a lot easier. I ran 11 miles in an hour and a half. I only stopped 4 times to walk 1 block each time.

I'm quite content with my progress.

Hopefully the weight room at my school opens up this week so I can officially start my workouts, but until then I've just been running.

Yesterday I ran 10 miles in 90mins. I want to bring that down to 1 hour or less.
 

"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.
