"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.

I've decided to revamp my goals. I recently posted some pictures, and I will be judging my progress every two months, as opposed to every one.


I'm still debating on whether or not I should run track this spring. On the plus side, it'll be my cardio, and help me lose some bodyfat, but on the negative, lifting early in the morning, and needing to eat another 300 calories or so may be a pain in the ass. At the end of this week, I should have my lift numbers (winter break f*cked me over) and will be setting goals, both short and long term.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

You have years to lift, but only a few more chances to do sports in highschool. Just cut down on lifting for that season, and start back up in the summer.

agreed, sports in high school is when you got the chance to have fun with your friends until graduation. Then you get a new set of friends.

I suggest that you do the sports.

Man, pre-season conditioning always kicked everyone's ass, lol.

What events do you do? Cute girls on the the team, yeah?

I run the 100, 200 and 4x100. And yes, this sophomore transferred in from this other school, and shes quite the babe. Not sure if theres any other cute girls, haven't seen the whole team at the same time.

Well, I took about a month and a half off of deadlifts, and the past two weeks I've been doing them.


Deads up to 335x5
Bench 185x3 (it's been two weeks, that may go back down)
Squat (havent squatted since my tendinitis flareup about 3 weeks ago, but I stopped after 275x5)
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
