"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 have about moderate acne. I've tried a bunch of stuff, most didnt help much. I tried proactive, which a lot of people say helped them, but that really dried out my face, which caused more acne. I tried using a few different moisturizers to balance it, but my skin was still very irritated. As in every day i would get out of the shower, and by the time i had put my clothes on my face would already be peeling from being so dry and irritated before i could apply moisturizer. Anyone with similar experiences?
 

"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 used to have major acne problems back in the day. Problem was whatever I used dried my skin.

Nowadays, I don't use anything when washing my face. Just warm water. Occasionaly Dove soap. But other than that, just use warm water.

yeh, i had the same problems. i used, and still use, acnemycium or something like that. it was a strong prescription from the doc.

whenever i used it on more than twice a day on the same part of my face, it would go super dry and i'd feel like i was being trapped by my skin. i stopped the dryness by using clearasil facewash or something like that every day and night + the acne medication applied straight after the facewash. that way my face stayed nice and hydrated. every night, i get the clearasil and put it all over my face, but don't wash it off. this prevents breakouts in the morning.
