A Poem by some one that I knowTake nothing lightlyBy Bjorn FaknamTake nothing lightly. No vain promise give. Hold your honor tightly, In the one life we live.Do not throw trust away, Whether in you or from you. Live up to it today, In everything you do.Look with respect. Follow honor to the letter. Use the courtesy you expect. Nay, treat them better.No matter what gifts you were given, You are never above yourself. By whatever cause you are driven, Put yourself on the back shelf.Those around…See More

It is interesting that you didn't find the negatives very helpful. The elastic idea is really interesting. I have managed my first reps but what I found was I am taking one arm over the bar before the other, either my…"
Liam replied to Liam's discussion Moving towards my first muscle up"Yes I agree, unfortunately I don't have anything to record myself with. I managed my first poor quality reps the other day which I am thrilled about but my maximum reps of pull ups has fallen significantly in the process (from 12 - 15 down to…"
Liam S. replied to Chris Hamm's discussion Who Wears a Watch Anymore?"Well "stylish" can mean many things.
Personally, for around $100, I would look at the Seiko 5 series. These are very solid automatic movements (no batteries, but no winding either - if you wear them). They are built well, and there is a…"

Anyways, what has seemed to work best with me when I am meeting them for the first time is not caring. If I don't care what the girl thinks about me, I tend to just be myself. And that's all it takes. I'm just being authentically me and not trying to be anyone else. What stems from that is a more relaxed and confident me. I was also kind of a dick when I first met her.
And to prove this wasn't a fluke, I also met a couple of ladies at Disneyland on Friday and acted the same way I did the first time. I could have easily gotten numbers and what not, but I didn't want to get a number and then be expected to use it. It's not fair to the girl I was originally dating (IMO) and it's not fair to the new girl either.
Hope this helps.
It's going decently well and I'm excited to see what's going to happen.
On Saturday, I have a date with the girl I described in my previous post.
Disneyland was pretty dang awesome. My original plan was to go meet up with my friend, his girlfriend, and one of her friends. I also found out my best friend from San Diego was coming up, so I was going to spend a little time with him before the first friends showed up. First friends flaked, so I planned on spending time with Dan. Dan comes up with his friend, the friend's girlfriend, and the girlfriend's best friend. He deferred her to me, so I went in thinking, "Hey, this might be some good practice to see what I can do." Let's say that I did well, and now have her number. I'm aiming to take her out next weekend. :D
How was last week? Did the tests go well? What did you do over the weekend?

Last night, I went out to dinner with a lady friend. I have to say that it was definitely "just friends", but I wouldn't mind it being something else. I'll let this one play itself out.
Also, Friday I MIGHT be going to Disneyland with a friend, his girlfriend and one of her sorority sisters. This could be promising... We'll see.
Good luck this coming weekend!
How's progress coming for you?
