"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

hi, do girls care whether or not you have a few black heads (little black dots on face) or a few marks on your face??? for some reason it really bothers me that i do and i cant get it out of my head...what should I do? I just feel that she will be looking at me differently like that...would she??? What should I do??? THank YOU!!!!
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

piece of cake

For your acne:
-use a light benzoyl peroxide cream treatment (no more than 5%).
-make sure you moisturize after washing your face.
-avoid caramel colouring (artificial) that causes acne in most people.
-use tea tree oil to treat red or swollen acne.

For your marks:
-use vitamin K cream twice daily. Rub it in real good, and in about 3-6 months, I gurantee you'll be spotless.

For general face care:
-moisturize!! i can't stress it enough.
-exfoliate 1-2 times per week. This is very important, to give you that glowing look.

take care of your skin boys, the ladies will thank you, and it only costs you 5 mins in the washroom/day

cheerio

You know what i use? This a big secert but here it goes:

I like to use a skin color foundation " Make-up" if you will but who care no one can tell unless you sweat alot on your face. Its good to us a make up foundation. One time my brothers found my foundation and said you use this? LOL i said yes but you couldnt tell before..so what? lol
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

I had this problem a while back .... what i did that solved the problem ....

Bath\Shower every other day
Wash in the morning and in the evening

DONT USE CREAMS, OR ACNE 'CURES'
Use something thats Tea Trea based such as :http://www.boots.com/shop/product_details.jsp?productid=1033905

Not as harsh on the skin, I dont even have to use a moisuriser now.

Shave using sesitive skin shaving gel. I use Gillette, avaoid any face, creams and soaps with alchol in.

Cut Bread and Milk out of you diet.

Drink lots or water, eat a balance meal at least every other day, fresh veg. Try to eat high protien food every other day too, chicken, tuna, etc etc

Try what the others have suggested, if their recommendations don't work then schedule an appointment with a dermatologist.

a few blackheads? how big are they? unless she's looking at you through a microscope (which i hope she isn't, cuz i hate folk with small penises :D) then i doubt they'll be noticeable

red spots (or white heads) on the other hand, will need to be dealt with; (acne.org turned my life around)

Hey,
this is my first post so let me just say something else, this site is AMAZING, truly a great resource, thanks to my buddy Skop for telling me about it.

Back to the topic - I know you feel, brother. Spots are a real kick in the testicles of confidence with the ladies, eh? (where did that come from? :p )

I've been struggling myself, but recently I found something that really helps.
It's called DALACIN C and as far as I know it's available over the countr in pharmacies. It's a topical lotion, and it REALLY helps kick acne down, especially the red marks, brilliant stuff.
Use twice a day in the affected area (wouldnt reccomend using on all the skin, just where needed, since it's an antibiotic). and you should literally see difference over the next 2 days.

Keep at it, and your skin will be a lot clearer.

I also use Clearasil Deep Cleanser 3-in-1 when washing my face in the shower.
Also, remember to NOT pick at them, especially with dirty fingernails, you just shoot yourself in the foot.

And if you notice, mate, that girls have acne too so I don't think (I HOPE!!) that they mind much.

Hope this helps someone :)
