"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.

Ok, so i just lifted and went to the bathroom. I lost 2 lbs. I'm pretty sure thats normal, but should it come back in recovery tommrow, or is 2lbs. alot? Sorry, i'm sort of new to actually monitoring my weight and food and all, at football I didn't worry about it.
 

"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.

Your weight will fluctuate quite a bit during the course of any given day. If you want to track your weight do it about once a week, wearing the same outfit (or just boxers or something), on the same day each week and the same time (morning, right when you wake up).

This will give you the most consistent and accurate view of your weight.

As a further example of daily variances:
Yesterday morning I weighed 212.5
When I got home from the gym in the afternoon I weighed 210
An hour later after drinking 40oz of water and 3 oz of cheese, my scale said 215

like others said. weigh yourself in the morning before you drink/eat anything.
and it was most likely a loss of water weight from your workout
 

"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.
