"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.

I'm on a limited budget so i can't go to gym as often as i would like.
I can only manage to afford to go 2 the gym 2 days a week, so would 2 hours or longer workouts been fine or are they simply to much?
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

I'm not sure the logic behind it is really appropriate with weight training, in the same way a single mega 6 hour workout a week wouldn't do a whole lot of good for you. Consider investing in some cheap home equipment like a pull up bar or a cheap set of dumbells.

They don't have gym subscriptions by you? Most places offer monthly, yearly subscriptions and then you can use the gym as much as you like.

Yes, you can do a two day split. That would be fine. I wouldn't trade a gym for a couple dumbbells and pullup bar. You won't get as good results with that. There are other options though, but I'd just do the gym

Two days are fine. They are actually better for some, and most people can progress on them.

Make sure to do free weights at the gym if you didn't know that already. Squats/deadlifts/bench/rows/chinups etc...

I was going to link to a two day on IA's but I can't get onto the site. Maybe later...

"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.

Wow, i sent this post 2 years ago, how times change

Thanks for the advice everyone anyways.
Nowadays if i can't train at gym i just train at home.

Although i have to say, it can be very challenging to train at home without some of the gym machines
