"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

I just got back to the gym after kind of a long absence and it feels good haha. But one question I have... before I lifted at school with my friends and I had people to spot me on the bench but now I joined a new gym for the summer and I don't know anyone there. Is it weird to ask someone else working out if they want to do bench with you or to spot you... or ask the staff? The place does PT so most of them have patients this might be a dumb question so sorry if it is lol.
 

"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.

I have trained by myself for ages now, only training buddy I ever had couldnt be assed to go training so I had to do it by myself...I never ask any one for a spot either. Though I've been asked to spot some people before. Once i was asked to spot this guy that was probably twice my size...i could barely pick up the weight so ****s knows what would have happened if he got pinned or some ****, he would have probably died hahahaha

I personally bench in the power rack, but there is nothing wrong with asking somebody at the gym for a spot. I wouldn't ask an employee, but just walk up to somebody when they finish their set and ask if they wouldn't mind giving you a spot. Never bother somebody in the middle of a set, unless ofcourse you feel content with an olympic bar being shoved up your a$$.

lol yeah they have physical therapy patients to work w/ haha... what exactly is a power rack and does it keep you from pinning yourself if you push to failure?

Oh yeah I know what you're talking about now... that's what they have for squatting there. So you just move the bench in there and set the safety catches where you can set the bar down if u fail?
 

"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.
