"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.
When is enough??

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Alot of people have posted thet they "feel" this or that. I don't think this is a good way to judge a work, but each to his own.
Some people judge workouts by the numbers. If I did more weight or sets then the prior workout then I consider it good.
"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.

Me too.
If you follow Diesels bulking guide, you'll find it's a great framework for satisfying workouts.
I'm usually in the gym for an hour, and I cycle routines each 2-3 weeks. Keeps it fresh, and doesn't allow your body to get too comfortable with the workout. I usually work around the 6 rep range, and up the weights once I can do 8.
I always leave the gym feeling pumped, and wake up the next day f*ckin sore!
Its also a mental thing. Use the mind/muscle connection. Sounds like some new age crap, but it works! Concentrate intensly on each rep, and picture the target muscles doing the work. Take each rep slowly.
I guarantee that if you block everything else out during a working session and truly bust your ass, you will walk out feeling satisfied.
"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.
