"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.

Usually I feel very tired when I wake up in the morning. Today, for some reason, I feel very awake and energetic. I want to replicate this every morning.

Some things I remember:
-I worked out at 8 PM, and slept at 10:30 PM. I had no post workout food.
-Had very vivid dreams
-I wake up every night to use the bathroom. Usually this is at 3:30 AM. Today for some reason it was at 2:30 AM

Some link it it stress and "having something to wake up to," but I don't believe it. Any ideas?

Today I'll try the same routine.
 

"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.

I wouldn't recommend eating nothing post-workout and THEN going to bed.

That takes quite a toll on your body. At least eat a piece of fruit and a protein shake afterwards.

The starvation will lead to vivid dreams. After fasting for 5 days, a few weeks back, my dreams were insanely real.

You're liable to eat away muscle by not eating post-workout, then going to bed.

you probably felt great because you had good sleep. when i get 8-9 to nine hours i can go all day and feel great.

if i only get a few hours my confidence, strength, ect plumits beyond imagination. i only recently realized how important sleep was.

i go to bed to get 8 hours no matter what is going on

I usually wake up feeling great when I have something to look forward to.
Thats why I usually wake up early on the weekends full of energy to go and hangout with friends or to go out and have a great time.
