How to find your Maximum Heart Rate for Rowing

How do I get my RP3 monitor to pick up a HR from my Garmin HR monitor reading? I can get the RP3 monitor display for HR, but no pulse! How do I synchronize the devices? Thank you!

Seems you need a Polar Bluetooth to sync with Android tablet. I have tried two different Polar models, one Garmin and a Suunto product. It seems to us that the Polar Bluetooth will do the trick.

Now, let’s talk about how to USE your HR data – Read this article about how low rate, steady state rowing makes you fast.

When you row at low rates like 18 and 20 strokes a minute you can perform for 30 to 40 minutes non-stop with a higher work output than you do on your Max 2km race.

Knowing your training zones based on heart rate data will help you ensure you are training effectively.

Your Maximum Heart Rate for Rowing

Knowing your maximum heart rate is the starting point for doing heart rate based training. Even if you you are not following a formal HR based plan, it can be useful to track HR statistics so you can keep track of training loads or to bore your spouse.

OK, the best place to start is by debunking this formula.

MaxHR = 220 – Age Don’t use this to figure out your maximum heart rate!

It’s wrong. A study looking at it in 2001 showed that even as a generalization, it’s wrong. The first problem is that the formula does not even fit the slope of the data. The study provided a handy revision which is, frankly, equally useless.

MaxHR = 208 – 0.7 x Age Don’t use this either!

Why is it useless? Because it has essentially no predictive value.

Different HR for different sports

One interesting factoid is that your maximum heart rate can be different for different sports because of body position, muscles used and other factors. So, doing this test on a treadmill is a good way to tell what your maximum heart rate is for race walking. We care about rowing, we care way too much about rowing, so it is better to measure your maximum heart rate on the rowing machine.

Creating a protocol for to use on an indoor rower very easy. So easy that the Australian Institute of Sport has done it for you in This Article link.

Heart Rate Step Test on Rowing Machine

The test is very simple. Based on your most recent 2K pace (or an estimate of it), you do seven 4 minute steps starting at a low power (slow pace) and increasing by a set number of watts for each step. You start recording your heart rate and you do the first 6 steps without a break and the sixth step is about 5 seconds slower than your 2k pace. After 24 minutes of rowing, that pace will feel pretty hard and your heart rate will be reasonably high.

At the end of the 6th step, you take a 1 minute rest and get ready for the fun part. At the end of the one minute rest, you do a racing start and row as fast as you can for four minutes. This step should be at or faster than your 2k pace. At the end of that step, you review your HR data for the highest value sustained for 5 seconds. Use that as your maximum heart rate.

Your maximum heart rate will not change much with training. If you do a ton of endurance training for long periods of time, your maximum heart rate may drop a couple of beats because the stroke volume of your heart gets much larger, but it won’t change much. What you might see, however, is that you discover that this initial measurement of your maximum heart rate is too low. It certainly was the case for me. As you do hard workouts, especially when you do a long time trials like a 6K, 30 minutes or 10K, you might see heart rates higher than what you measured in this test. If this happens, update your MaxHR with the new number.

If anyone wants a novel-length recap on my (limited) adventures at the Sundance Film Festival... (I’ll throw in some photos to keep it interesting)

I am. so exhausted. I was exhausted after the first three days, and it never really calmed down. Between working all day, and a couple late night/early morning shifts, then having to commute back to the town with my hotel, and back in the morning, I never got more than 4 hrs of sleep a night and sometimes less. And the only actual meal I usually ate was a rushed breakfast from the hotel, then my food was just snacking on granola bars or half a bagel, and that was the day. I’m fucking beat.

But I did see 14 films, so, there’s that! The first night of the festival I went to I Don’t Feel At Home in This World Anymore, because a) there were only a few films showing and it sounded the most decent, and b) it stars Elijah Wood so I thought he might be there. He was. I saw Elijah Wood in person. It was unexpected and alarming and delightful. I also got to ask the director a question during the Q&A and made kind of a mess of the question bc Elijah Wood was being forced to hear me speak and that freaked me out, but

lmao little did I know what the next night was gonna be

So like a month ago when I made the post about having learned that Max Riemelt had a film showing at Sundance and was like, ‘does that mean he’ll be there, pls, etc etc..’ I was totally bullshitting myself. He wasn’t actually supposed to be there, guys. I wasn’t prepared for that. I wasn’t prepared to accidentally sit in the row in front of him, four seats to the side. I wasn’t. prepared.

I was talking to my friend and looked across the room and stopped midsentence bc

And I stared, a lot. So much. The ‘friend’ I’d made definitely wasn’t understanding my lack of focus on her and didn’t really care that I was having a crisis about Max Riemelt being approx. 8 feet away from me for the night. He was on his own, seated next to the director and producer, and just idly looked around and flexed his jaw constantly??? A couple times someone in the crew would talk to him and he’d be all laughs and smiles and omf. There was a moment where I was definitely gawking again - so overwhelming, guys - and he turned around and caught my gaze immediately and kind of gave that look like when you think someone’s said something but you didn’t quite hear it? which made me jump basically and look away bc I’d been caught, but we definitely made glancing-eye-contact a few more awful times and I was just so not chill. During the film (Berlin Syndrome; fantastic, btw) I was still not chill and kept casually glancing to my slight right, going from watching Max Riemelt on screen to watching Max Riemelt watch Max Riemelt on screen. aheruhgf. It was delightful.

And then, right as the climax was building in the last 5 minutes of the film - it froze. Just stopped. The audience gasped, I looked over and Max had his hands over his eyes lmao. But it stayed frozen, the house lights came up...and then it played - having skipped ahead to the middle of the final climax. Then froze again, and I saw Max mouth “what the fuck” then just stare up at the lights akjehrujf. And then he and the director walked off, presumably to talk to tech people, and the film skipped to show us the end. So they cut it off, and we had the Q&A, which was very sympathetic (Max commented about being so upset he was shaking at the fuck up) but also fun, Teresa Palmer was really cheery and talkative and Max was pretty funny and damn cute (he was re-enacting the musical score at one point, that was something, omg) and there were good questions and discussion - altho the freaking director pointed at me for my question and then the producer said things were working again, and we were going to finish the film so I never got to have my moment but ok.

(literally every venue intentionally creates the WORST FUCKING LIGHTING FOR PHOTOS)

And then at the end of the film, because apparently Teresa and Max aren’t important enough to need the security barrier like everyone else I saw, they were all just chilling in their seats as the audience walked out, so I got to walk past Max and had about half a second to realize I could talk to him if I wanted (it’s kind of acknowledged as common courtesy to leave the talent alone at screenings, or just give them a little space, so I had kept quiet in my 5 min of freaking out before the film started. altho now of course I wish I’d just had the balls to say something simple. I wanted to bring up Freier Fall so freakin badly but like. how would that have worked lmao.), but was that okay?? what to say? all I could think about was trying NOT to gush some ‘I LOVE YOU SO MUCH’ shit, so naturally that’s all I could think to say ajeryiuehf and then panicked because I had zero time, so I just garbled out some sort of “thank you so much, that was a beautiful film, thanks” and the director nodded and smiled but Max just stared and nodded and said “thank you” and I stumbled away before I could go super red in the face or god knows what because I was stressed and so fucking overwhelmed. Honestly seeing Max in real-life-person overwhelmed me more than anyone else I saw, and I saw a fair few people, somehow. I think I’ve decided it’s something to do with him being a foreign actor? Like, he’s supposed to always be in Europe, not somewhere where I could encounter him. Not my first fucking year at Sundance. And then the fact he actually made eye contact with me a few times and vaguely spoke at me......lmao what the fu c k

And then the next night I went to the premiere screening of the #1 film I had wanted to see at Sundance, Wind River. That screening went like it was supposed to, and I got to ask Taylor Sheridan about setting the film in Wyoming and such and the answers were wonderful and there was fantastic discussion and it was a fucking wonderful film and I tried so hard to see it more than once but my fucking work schedule made that impossible, whatever, I’ll wait 9 months or however long it takes.

One of the stand-outs of that night though (other than Gil Birmingham being there, which also super delighted me) was when Jeremy Renner was asked to explain how he approached and portrayed the emotions his character has to do deal with, and in answering the (fairly average) question, he choked up and had to step away from the mic for a second to pull himself together. Everything he said in his answers to questions was just really emotional, interesting stuff, and that response was especially overwhelming. The film knocked the breath out of me, but the Q&A made sure I didn’t catch it back. That was amazing.

So I knew the rest of the festival had to just be downhill, and technically it was, but I still enjoyed everything. The next best film was probably Call Me By Your Name, which I had planned on seeing a couple weeks ago, largely because I can be superficial and dumb and queer Armie Hammer in Italy sounded majorly appealing. I was torn between two different screenings, because I couldn’t go to the premiere since that was one of my two night shifts - and then a really awful snow storm was coming in, so my boss told anyone who had to drive a distance that they could leave early. She tried to let me leave super early into the shift, and I felt bad that they were going to be really short staffed on such a late, busy night (we were hosting the premiere of some awful film about The Grateful Dead and the band was going to be there) and I didn’t know what I’d do with so much freaking spare time anyway, so I said I’d be okay and I’d stay. And two hours later I realized I fucking. could have actually gone to the premiere of Call Me By Your Name. I think it’s the only film (that I wasn’t working) I went to see that wasn’t the fucking premiere. And I cannot let that go. whatever.

also shout out to Casey Affleck for not being at Sundance and therefore I missed seeing what would definitely have been a better film (A Ghost Story was definitely Not Good) and was deprived of seeing Keanu Reeves in person because I thought I’d get to see Casey and that was a waste!! gdi.

Those were honestly the ‘important’ parts of the fest for me. My body hurts like hell from standing mostly stationary for 7-10 hrs a day every day for the past 7 days, my health and skin are awful because my eating habits mostly didn’t exist and weren’t good when they did, I could sleep for 3 days if I was allowed to, and I don’t feel at all interested in shit here, but I still can’t believe I had that experience. I do plan to apply next year, even though after the first two days I wasn’t sure I could actually handle that, and the amount of hours I worked really did interfere with seeing some films and that irritates me, but we’ll see.

I also came to the realization that hearing other ‘filmmakers’ my age-ish talk about films and the industry and their beliefs and goals and shit really stresses me out + annoys the hell out of me. Most of them come across as really pretentious and fucking miserable and I despise it all pretty quick. Or I feel like I’m totally lost and talentless and there’s no hope for me. But it’s the actors I get most excited about, that excite me the most (other than Taylor Sheridan - he gave me fresh life, I swear). It’s hearing how the actors work and understanding how they approach their work, and imagining what it’d be like to work with them and see my writing or vision or whatever become real through them that excites me. I found myself ditching films I wanted to see for the sake of going to premieres to see actors I really like. Which is definitely not the purest approach to filmmaking, but whatever... It was just an epiphany I had, I guess. Not sure where that’s gonna go.

The festival did also help me re-focus about filmmaking too. I’ve fallen way too into routine here, with the country club and the unending monotony of my weekly schedule. I finally feel like I CAN start to write the scripts I’ve been wanting to start for months. I’m actually excited to start job hunting. I don’t feel as nervous at the prospect of moving, if that happens. And - really great - I’m mentally reset about a lot of things lately i.e. The Work Guy. I literally don’t care at all now, am not interested or bothered by anything. I am totally refreshed and have my regular priorities back.

I’ve come away from Sundance feeling predictably ‘inspired’ and totally exhausted and wanting to always gawk at real-life-person Max Riemelt and always hear Jeremy Renner talk about life (he seems so lovely, wtf) but also mentally and emotionally reset and I hope those are all good things

Try to figure out from my data to travel to proxima centaury within 0.0000000000038second or up to 5 8 seconds------now is my data

Learn how to insert 1mm space between your every 2 Space Bodies to go to visit Proxima Centauri within few seconds, Just Read if You Can Speed of light is=3x10^8m/sec 4 years speed of light is=(3x10^8m/s)(3600s/hour)(24hrs/day)(365days/year)(4 years) =3.78432000x10^8x10^8m=3.78432x10^16m=3.8x10^13km =2.38x10^13miles IT IS 3.8X10^13KM IN 4 YEARS SPEED OF LIGHT AND DISTANCE FROM EARTH TO PROXIMA CENTAURI IS D=3.8X10^13KM If we can go with speed of light, then we need 4 years to reach proxima Centauri a group of stars closest to our solar system; unfortunately, maximum speed for Human right now is about Human space speed = 20,000 miles/hr, for distance of 2.38x10^13 miles Human need: 1.19x10^9 Hrs to reach Poxima Centauri, it means 49,583,333.33 days to reach Proxima Centauri,It is almost 50,000 days it is as 136.9863014 years to reach Proxima Centauri, closest Stars to Solar system, it is about 137 years to reach Proxima Centaury closest stars in Universe to Earth Note: I have given Human speed, max speed now is 20,000 miles per hour is a little more for even to reality of 17,000 miles/hr speed. Half Speed of Light = 3x10^8m/sec/2=1.5x10^8m/s=150000000m/sec=937,500 miles/hour-------> it is as half speed of light speed then Human need 8 years to reach Proxima Centauri Even though,574,585 MPH Speed of Earth within Our Galaxy. So for every hour you are away from the solar system, your planet is moving half a million miles, and in several directions; however, we cannot row(control) the earth forward proxima centauri: Speed of Earth to center of Galaxy, our galaxy= 574,585 mph=359,115.625km/hr= 100km /second, it still need 5000 years to reach Proxima Centauri if we go with speed of Earth around center of our Galaxy!!!!!!!!!!! There is faster way and more efficiency to move from one galaxy to another galaxy in the universe if you are talking in life in Universe, the way Human is with Jet engine or Hydrogen Rocket engine or Proton Rocket Engine are ridiculous to move to the closest Galaxy likes Proxima Centauri now my brain stuck with ridiculous, ridiculous, ridiculous, ridiculous, ridiculous, ridiculous-------- LOL(Smile! it is a joke!) Tho Huynh Dark Matter Maker Quantum initiation Expert Space Science Founder(Do not be confused with NASA Space program, they are 2 universes of differences) Final Particles Mfg Note: they have no idea about origin of life they thought Proxima Centauri might have some evidence for origin of life to be here on earth, they are wrong thinking and wrong guess far away from origin of life., simply because Origin of Life can be anywhere in the universe, they do not need to guess it is in and on Proxima centauri, however, where it is first start might be different story, because it can be first start anywhere in the universe, it does not mean first start will take away origin of Life everywhere else, in facts the origin of life is still everywhere else; unfortunately, there are not enough preconditions to start origin of life in first, it might be second or third or fourth or even 1000000th in the row!!!!!!!!!! There is a way to move around Universe with speed is many times Faster than Light; unfortunately you must understand Quantum and Quantum Field and Space Science and many others details, Einstein has called spooky about 100 years ago! In fact, Frequency of Human space bodies= 10^32 space bodies/second If I can insert one mmillimeter Space within every 2 spaces bodies, then : Speed of space bodies expansion = SOSBE= 10^32mm/second= 10^29m/second It is 3.3333x 10^20 times faster than Speed of Light=3x10^8m/s NOW YOU CAN GO TO PROXIMA CENTAURI IN : TIME=3.8X10^13KM/(10^26KM/S)= 3.8 X 10^-13 SECOND= 0.0000000000038 SECOND However, you must understand Space Particles, quantum Quanta Field of the Universe, Entanglement , Mind, consciousness,Motions, Dynamics ,Quantum time,The Matrix(Real Matrix, not in movie Matrix) Matrix has been born by Mother Quantum time; especially , you must learn how to insert 1mm between every 2 Space Bodies Your SETI is funny and extra thing(unnecessary thing) to do if you learn direct how to be from here to Proxima Centauri in 3.8x10^-13 second= 0.0000000000038seconds! With 3.8x10^-13 second from here to Proxima Centauri your even 1000m diameter Telescope is still Funny, very Funny!!!!!! and boring for Just seeing and hearing and understand nothing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! With 14 Billion of light years meant: 14B Light Years=14BLY=(300,000km/s)(3600s/hr)(24hrs/day)(365day/year)(14,000,000,000Light Years) =1.325 x 10^23 km If your speed is 10^26 km/s, then time for you travel 14BLY is 1.325x10^-3 second= 0.001 second However, Dilation in space time and Oscillation in Space time Time might get more time to get there I will show them later

Determining Exercise Intensity

If you are new to exercise and are looking to begin a new workout program, you may be wondering what intensity level is appropriate for your goals and your fitness level. Many people are not sure what intensity levels are defined by and avoid exercises labeled as vital intensity due to the fear of injury or lack of ability. As a personal trainer and exercise physiologist, it is my job to help explain these terms and concepts in a more understandable way. In this article, I will break down, light, moderate, and vigor intensity, so that you, as a physically activity individual, are more educated and comfortable with what it is you are doing in your day to day exercises. It is recommended that a combination of moderate and vigorous exercise be done by most healthy adults, while light to moderate exercises, be performed by deconditioned persons. Intensity is individually based, meaning your intensity level is based on your physical abilities and not generalized by the abilities of others. Ideally, you would want a professional in the field to determine your intensity levels based on a guided fitness test, but I will provide you with information that will allow you to get an estimate without such resources. To do so we will use what is known as the target HR reserve method. This method begins with the HR reserve, which is defined as the difference in your resting heart rate and your maximum HR. Your HR reserve is then multiplied by the appropriate intensity percentage you are targeting, then your resting HR is added back to get your target HR reserve. Below I have demonstrated the method for moderate intensity exercise for myself.

1) To find your estimated HR max, subtract your age from 220.

220-22 = 198 bpm. My estimated HR max is 198 beats per minute.

2) To find your resting heart rate, use a radial pulse or HR monitor. My resting HR is 60 beats per minute. I will now subtract my resting HR from my estimated heart rate max to determine my heart rate reserve.

198 – 60 = 138 beats per minute.

3) Now I must use the heart rate reserve (HRR) and multiply it by the percentage equivalent to the intensity you are aiming to reach.

a. Light Intensity <50% HRR

b. Moderate Intensity 50-70% HRR

c. Vigorous Intensity 70% -85% HRR

In this case, I would like to exercise at moderate intensity. Therefore, I will multiply my HRR by 50% to get my lowest HR value and then by 70% to get my highest value to remain within that range for moderate intensity.

138 beats per minute X.50 = 69 beats per minute.

138 beats per minute X.70 = 96.6 beats per minute.

4) The last step in this process to get your final range of target HR reserve is to add your resting HR back to the HRR percentage. This allows the equation to consider your cardio endurance level at rest and adjustments accordingly. Below, I have demonstrated how to do so and have found my target HRR range for moderate intensity exercise.

69 beats per minute + 60 beats per minute = 129 beats per minute

96.6 beats per minute + 60 beats per minute = 156.6 beats per minute.

Target HR Range for Moderate Intensity = 129 bpm – 156.6 bpm.

Benefits of Light Intensity Exercise

Light intensity exercise is very beneficial to older adults. It allows them to remain physically active when there may be physical limitations or health concerns preventing moderating or malicious activity. Light intensity is considered anything below 50% of the target heart rate reserve and provides many health benefits, especially to deconditioned persons. An Oregon State University study, published in the American Journal of Health Promotion, showed a significant increase in health for older persons, who participated in light physical activity such as walking. These individuals were less likely to develop chronic illness and had lower body mass index measurements.

Benefits of Moderate Intensity Exercise

Moderate intensity exercise is the most beneficial form of exercise. It yields an awful amount of health benefits ranging from lower blood pressure, improved cholesterol, weight management, cancer prevention, and much more. Moderate intensity is recommended for all adults without restricted by a doctor. Moderate intensity is anything between 50% -70% of the target HR reserve and is attainable by doing many activities, such as brisk walking, leisurely cycling, aqua aerobics, and dancing. There is a wide range of ways in which you can be physically active and yield the benefits of moderate intensity, but it begins with you taking that first step.

Benefits of Vigorous Intensity Exercise

Vigorous-intensity exercise is recommended for adults who are habitually active and with at least an average physical fitness level. Vigorous intensity is not power lifting or sprinting at Olympic pace. Activities of vital intensity include jogging, rowing, elliptical, fast dancing, and aerobics. The target HR reserve percentage is anything between 70% -85%. It is recommended that if you have a history of health-related issues or of middle age you get clearance from your doctor before performing vital activity. Vigorous intensity has similar benefits as moderate intensity but also comes with an increase in injury risk. It is recommended that a combination of both moderate and vigilant intensity be attained by the average adult to achieve maximum benefits from exercise.

What Now?

In conclusion, it should be known that intensity levels are of importance but they are not as intimidating as they sound. It is recommended by ACSM that a healthy adult get 30 – 60 minutes of moderate exercise or 20 – 60 minutes of vigorous exercise, or a combination of both, each day for 33 to 5 days per week. It is also recommended that if you only participate in moderate intensity, you do this 5 days days a week and if you only participate in vigilance intensity, 3 days days a week. Ask your doctor if you have any concerns about your current fitness level and your ability to perform vital intensity exercise. I hope you can take when was mentioned above and use it as a resource on your journey for optimum wellness.

Review: The Garmin Forerunner 935

Disclaimer: I received a Garmin Forerunner 935 Multisport GPS Watch from Garmin Fitness to review as part of being a BibRave Pro. Learn more about becoming a BibRave Pro (ambassador), and check out BibRave.com to review, find and write race reviews!

The Garmin Forerunner 935 has so many features that I’m not going to have time to cover them all, but will share my insight on the ones I use the most. The Garmin Forerunner 935 is a version of the Fenix 5, with a plastic shell vs. the metal. It’s got a barometric altimeter (and wifi) , as well as Bluetooth Smart sensor support. There’s also a new Running Dynamics Pod, which I may put on my Christmas list to try.

Widgets: You can choose which widgets to add.

Heart Rate: My favorite feature is the wrist based heart rate monitor , I love this part! From the Home Screen, just click the (down) button on the watch to see your current heart rate, and the past 4 hours. Then, if you want to see the average heart rate over the past 7 days, just click the start/stop button.

At each mile, the watch vibrates and shows the pace per mile. Once the run is over I download to garmin connect. The watch will also show aerobic and anaerobic fitness score from 0-5, to see progress. In Activities, you can see distance, time, pace, calories burned, average heart rate, max heart rate, aerobic training effect, anaerobic training effect, cadence, ascent and descent.

Customize watch face: Garmin Connect IQ store, I downloaded a free watch face.

Training Status: Next Widget, hitting the down button, is the VO2 Max, which has been in the low 40′s. First time I’ve kept track of this, and its really cool to see the changes over the past month. The recovery time based on the runs are different. The optical HR data can be seen at any time from the 24x7 widget, allowing you to glance back at no just the last 4 hours, but also your resting heart rate over the preceding 7 days. The resting heart rate is a great indicator of impending ( or current) sickness or excessive fatigue. The date is also available on Garmin connect, either on your phone or on the web. It will be interesting to try this as I’m training for Big Sur in April 2018.

Steps: Tracking my steps is new also, and I have to admit, it makes me move even more. My goal is 13,000 steps per day. It also has a move alert, if sedentary for too long, a vibration reminds me to get moving :)

I have been wearing my garmin nonstop since I opened the box. I have been wearing it to sleep, as I was curious about the sleep data. It tells you how many hours are deep sleep and lights sleep hours. I’m working on better sleeping habits, and have also seen improvements. I take it off when showering as, I just like to clean my wrists and feel weird wearing jewelry when I shower. I also don’t wear in hot yoga class.

I’m really surprised how well it holds battery life, I go days without charging, and its never gone too low or died.

I am absolutely loving this fitness watch! Great for running, cycling, hiking, swimming, rowing, golfing and more... I have seen an improvement in my running and VO2 Max since I first starting wearing it. I have used while cycling, hiking, walking and running 2 races in California earlier this month. It was such a great tool. While I was sight seeing I would check my total daily steps and keep moving, to get an even number or max the day before. The past few years I’ve been running more for fun, travel, pictures, conversations, and mental wellness, so my times have been slow. The Garmin and the hashtag #beatyesterday has given me a nice push to not always “take it easy”. This month I have had some PR’s for the year or several years, so I’m now motivated to get back to “Racing pace”. I’ve planned some epic races in 2018, and April is going to be very busy. My garmin is going to get me there a little faster!

The watch retails for ( $499.99 ) Base Unit Black watch face with silver accent and black band, charging cable.

Hey, I (19M) don't know whether should I bother asking a girl(19 yo) out for the one last time.The BackstoryWe knew eachother from elementary school, we were classmates and we were kinda friends and people were talking about her being interested in me, but I wasn't into her at that time.After elemetary we parted ways and I didn't see her at all. I asked her out 2 years ago, through facebook and we chatted for a week but she told me she doesn't want to go out and she just wants to be friends. I told her that I don't want to be her friend only, that it wouldn't work for me and she should contact me if she changes her mind.NowShe contacted me 2 years after that, at the start of november last year. Then she kept contacting me first for like a month, few times a week. Then she asked me out and we setup a date.1st dateWe went out on Dec 10th, chatted for 1,5 hrs and just said our goodbyes and parted ways, no kiss or hug. This didn't seem to weird to me, we didn't see eachother for 4 years.After the date, when I came online, she messaged me "so what now? :D" and once again, we setup a movie date.Second dateSecond date happened on Dec 22nd. I wanted to kiss her, but when I arrived, she told me she was sick. We had 1 hr before the movie and 1 after the movie.When we were buying popcorn, I asked her if she wants to get a shared one and she said she doens't want me to get sick, I jokingly told her that I will be home for holidays so I don't care if I get sick or not and we laghed about it and got a shared one. During the movie she said she was cold and she put her coat on her, like a blanket.When we walked outside the cinema, I had like 50 minutes left before my last train was leaving, it was 10 PM and she asked me what are we goin to do, I told her that we can go see townsquare christmas market, but she said she's too cold and that we are gonna go to her apartment. Btw. she told me earlier that there is someone still staying in that apartment (she lives with 4 friends/students).We got there, she made us tea, brought her notebook, put on some songs I sent her and she sent me and we were in there for 20 minutes max. She looked at what time does tram to trainstation leave and we left the apartment before we even finished the tea. I told her I might not make it to the tram stop (she even made fun of my sense of direction) and she told me she's going to walk me there (even tho she was sick).She messed up, no tram was leaving anymore, so we walked fast to the trainstation on foot. We got to the train and it was supposed to leave in 1 minute + we weren't even sure it's the right train. We stopped at the door, exchanged 2 senteces, I told her I hope it's the right train, stepped on the train steps and told her to get well and we said goodbye. When I entered the train I wanted to kill myself.When I look at it in hindsight, she wanted a kiss, but I was too focused on her being sick (+I didn't want to get sick) + that train sitution derailed me (pun intended).Me asking her outWhen I asked her out the next day on Dec 23rd to do something before NYE, she said she already has plans and listed stuff she has planned. I didn't know my schedule so I told her that we will plan it later. I messaged her on Jan 1st (week later), wishing her happy new year and told her that I already know my exam dates and that I would like to see her and asked when she's free. She said she doesn't know, but not this week. I told her to let me know when she has time and then she asked me about my NYE, I asked about hers. I thought she was over it.She contacting me firstThen she contacted 5 times after that, on 5th, 6th, 10th, 11th and 13th. First 2 times she said she saw me somewhere (it's funny, we didn't see eachother for 4 years and then she sees me 2 days in a row). She was asking how are my exams going and she was generally interested in me. When I told her I'm going out and came back home in the evening, she asked me if I'm home already and what was I doing, so I said that I can't tell her, in a playful way etc.I always cut the converastion short (after 30 mins/10 messages) if she didn't bring getting together up (I'm going out/ I'm goin to sleep etc.). I didn't feel like asking her out when she shot me down 2 times before, but she was showing interest in me (and telling me she's bored a few times, messaging me even when I was logged off for 20+ minutes and went to sleep etc.).Last time she messaged me was on Jan 13th. Now it's 25th and I didn't hear from her since then. I'm not sure if she wanted me to asked her out and gave up, thinking I wasn't interested anymore.She has birthday on Jan 29th and I'm thinking about asking her out to go ice skating on 28th, should I even bother doing it? I like this girl a lot, and I don't know if there's anything to lose by asking her out one last time. I would prolly ask her out today.Tl;dr:There is a bit of history I will not mention here. I(19M) went out with a girl(19F) She asked me out on November last year, 2 years after turning me down. We went on 2 dates, on 1st no kiss or hug happened but it didn't seem weird to me (we didn't see eachother for 4 years).She was sick on the second (movie) date, in hindsight I think she wanted me to kiss her (even tho she told me she doesn't want me to get sick), but I didn't kiss/hug her and then she said she doesn't have time when I asked her out 2 times over 2 weeks. On Jan 1st I asked her out the second time and when she said she doesn't have time, I told her to let me know when she's free. She started messaging me first, asking what am I doing, how are my exams going, sayin she's bored etc. I kept cutting the convo short if she didn't bring up getting together (after 30 mins/10msgs). She contacted me 5 times in total, last time on Jan 13th. Last time I messaged her first was on Jan 1st. I didn't want to ask her out when she shot me down 2 times before, but now I changed my mind. Is there anything to lose by asking her out last time, should I bother? via /r/dating_advice
