If you've noticed the recent inactivity, it's because I tore my Achilles playing basketball last week and will have surgery tomorrow morning. Fortunately, I won't be on the shelf for long and once recovery is on track, we'll be back to our regularly scheduled awesomeness.
I appreciate all the best wishes. I would recommend signing up for the Wingman Labs below as I'll still spend time engaging that group.
Get her number. And a date.Editor's Note: This piece is by Nick Notas, our Boston Wingman Strategist and Confidence Coach. You can read more of his pieces at The Dating Specialist.
Asking a woman for her number can be scary. One critical moment decides whether you might see each other again or if it’s the final goodbye.
Motivation can be your biggest mind block -- and most of us don’t even know it.
Generally when people know what they need to work on, they get motivated. But when they don’t actually work on it, they believe the motivation wasn’t enough.
But that’s wrong.
If you weren’t motivated, you wouldn’t feel the urge the do research, read as much as you can -- or even reach out to an expert to get help.
This will resonate with a lot of people.
"Don't waste your time on someone who doesn't appreciate you the way you should be appreciated. Don't ever settle for mediocrity, for being just an option, for being the one who's just fun to be with, for being the one who's always there desperately waiting, for mere concern or pity or for someone who likes you just because he knows he's got the power to break you. It is better to have nobody than somebody who is half yours, half there or doesn't want to be there, or is there and then suddenly disappears. You can be in love and you can be in a relationship. But they're not always the same thing."
This morning one of my friends, David Gerzof, a professor at Emerson College, appeared on Fox Boston morning news to talk about who people should follow on Twitter. I'm excited to say I've made the list with friend, Steve Garfield, and potential friend, Chad Ochocinco.
I'm always on Twitter, interacting with people, giving quick 140-characted sized snippets of advice, and sharing interesting content I typically don't share here. I highly recommend you follow me on Twitter.
Just another value-add to your dating arsenal.

Where do you want to eat?”
“I don’t know where do you want to go?”
“I really don’t care at all, you choose.”
Does this conversation sound familiar? There’s nothing more frustrating to girls than a guy who can’t make up his mind.
Women love a man who can lead. A man who takes charge of things and is strong yet respectful. Don’t believe it? Look at nearly every romance novel written in the last 50 years.
If you've ever been curious -- or want to predict your fate -- here are times when people are breaking up most often, according to Facebook. Keep in mind, these times are when relationship statuses change so my guess is the actual breakup "peak times" are happening right after Valentine's Day and just before Thanksgiving.
Hmm, I wonder why those tho holidays?

As part of the dating process, you’re responsible for keeping in touch with her and making things interesting. Thankfully, this works in your favor.
Texting allows you to come up with witty and enticing responses from a safe location.
It’s easy enough to master and with some basic guidelines, you should be a pro in no time. Here are some simple points to remember when texting a girl you’re interested in.
Chances are this guy didn't tie his own tie.It wasn't until I was in college when I learned how to tie a tie -- on my own.
I could blame my dad for that but he never wears a tie -- he's all about the collarless button-downs. Despite that, he still knows how to tie one.
I only know a handful of people who know how to tie a tie correctly -- and those who do only know one way and stick to it.
There are also those who rarely wear ties or if they do, tie once and leave it tied. And let's not talk about those who still use clip-ons.
None of this is wrong -- except for the clip-ons (Seriously, you should be ashamed. Don't be that lazy).
As men, we should learn not only how to tie a tie but also the various knots you can create. Here, I'll share the 4 most popular knots.
And even if you don't wear ties or have no value for this, you don't want to be the dad who can't teach his son how to tie a tie, do you?
That was the original concept for this infographic. It still makes me laugh.
I had the awesome opportunity to team up with Zeo, a wellness company, on a research project that found whether or not sleep can effect your game.
You'll be surprised to see how much it does affect your ability to date. I typically sleep roughly 7-8 hours a day no matter when I go to sleep the night before (just ask my fiancée what happens if I don't get enough sleep).
Enjoy the infographic below and be sure to pass it around.
