"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 recently went to my dermatoligist, he siad the meds I were one weren't working well enough, so he put me on an anti biotic in pill form, I've heard these things have some serious side effects, anyone got anymore info on these?
 

"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.

I doubt that antibiotics have serious side effects, you are probably thinking of accutane, which can cause serious side effects (such as birth defects if pregnancy occurs while using the drug), but most of these side effects (such as suicide) are overblown bs.

I take antibiotics (tetracyclin derivitive - minocyclin) and they work great. I was recently having moderate break outs and the antibiotics and topical stuff wipped it out in 3 weeks. The only real side effect I've noticed is dehydration and chapped lips.

Accutane is the one with all the side effects and should only be taken as a last resort if you're acne is really really bad.

Pantothenic acid - Vitamin B5 is very effective for some. Be sure to increase the dose above what is recommended though to get a better effect. How much higher? You will have to find your best level. Gradually build up.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

I just got put on minocycline (pill) and differin gel. My sister used to take differin gel and it worked well for her, so hopefully it will help me too. I don't have serious acne... almost always less than 10 zits on my face, but it is still annoying.
